May – A Great Start For East Coast Long Drive!
East Coast Long Drive was started about 9 months from now and has already thrown up respectable numbers and wins in this month alone! We first started out with Tom Garber giving an exceptional performance at this years RE/MAX of Texas shootout. Tom Garber hit tremendous and steady drives to pull through into a late RD 6 during the senior competition. A few weeks later in Sewell New Jersey, ECLD team member John Foelber qualified for the Northeast RE/MAX WLDC District Qualifier with a 3rd place 339 Yd drive. Foelbers qualifying drive fought the 15MPH wind onto an all carry, drenched grid.
The following weekend Eddie Cruz, John Foelber, and Ben Tetz traveled down south for Shanks Shootout in Greenville, SC. (All three competitors made it into RD 4) Foelber and Tetz both hit drives over 370 Yds and Cruz had a few 360+ Yd drives. Everyone from ECLD would like to thank Mike Brody, Robbie Biershenk, and all of the sponsors who contributed and donated equipment and golf apparel. Full coverage will be updated onto the Shanks Shootout 2008 page soon!
