- There was a tail wind. I'd have to check the weather records, but I believe there were 25-30 mph winds that day. I've played Desert Rose (Winterwood) and the hole myself. It's basically a flat hole that bends slightly to the right. Don't think there would've been any cart path back in the 70s. I think the cart path today is on the left of the hole and would be out of play of? any sort of drive like that.

How the hell does someone hit a 515 yard drive, without some kind of? special circumstances, like a tail wind and down hill or maybe a cart path, etc, it defies logic?

What are you? on about? No one said anything about 750 yards!

Sir Swingman. Thanks for putting this together. Dennis Hopper had just moved back to Hollywood from New Mexico and spent hours kicking junk and watching Mike teach. He didn't golf yet, but said that Mike was from another planet. He'd know. This was when Mike was 70...and he still looked to be in the prime? of life.

No way does that golf swing produce what would? be an 750 yard drive with today's technology... sorry

- Sorry, i don't have any averages. Dan Shauger or Mike Dunaway might know...they both? knew him since the 80s and Dan used to caddy for Mike. Bobby Wilson might know too - I think they were in the 350 club together.

SwingManGolf if you've got any? numbers for Mike's iron distances, average drive, and in what decade I'd love to know... Thanks

This old boy was bad ass driver of the ball I can often hit the ball 300 yards? and see the setup in his take away that are similar in my swing.

- There are newspaper article clippings of him shooting in the 60s...although, apparently he wasn't a? very good putter. In fact, he bogeyed the par-4 where he hit the 515-yard drive. Phil Reed wrote a book about Austin that's on Amazon if you'd like to read about him.

Dude its that front knee....he's distance is sick.? Was his close game good too?
By: SwingManGolf. on 07 Aug 11, 09:18:01
Yeah, it is hard to believe, eh? But it was validated by? Guinness World Records and verified by multiple witnesses, including his playing partner Chandler Harper who won the 1950 PGA Champion.

I have a ? tough time believing
By: yogocomedy. on 28 Jun 11, 22:29:58
this guy is pure technique?
By: bossofalltime. on 27 Jun 11, 23:21:16
I was reading a couple of? articles on Big Cat with reports of 200yd wedges,? and some real deep 400yd+ blasts....would've been good to see how him and Mike fared in their comparative primes....George Bayer of Australia too (hit one 540yd in Australia , he used to beat the? ball!

Mike Austin is my hero. I never knew the man but? I do know people who knew him well. I can't get enough of that swing man!!
By: TheBillygolfs50. on 27 May 11, 11:22:11
Thanks for sharing this? I use to practice at several of those courses and that range in Studio City. Mike was quite a guy. It was fun to see him at his home again.
By: Cav3M4n1. on 14 May 11, 23:40:00
I bet Evan (Big CAT) Williams could smoke? Mike Austin!!!!

Great clip Jaacob. We need more slow motion of Mike's action like the face on swimg with him in the red shirt. That is a very cool? swing to study
By: sportsman214. on 26 Feb 11, 05:37:16
great rhythm? and timing. His swing barely changed over time. Reminds me of Gary Player
By: Inmotion70. on 17 Feb 11, 07:16:44
Jaacob, really awesome? job putting that together...thanks!
By: bossofalltime. on 15 Feb 11, 18:12:34
I hope I'm? still hitting it 300+ when I'm 70. Those last couple of swings are unreal for someone of that age. When you've got the upper echelons of talent mentally and physically you've got something special
By: jaacobbowden. on 04 Feb 11, 18:29:33
- Yeah, I wish I had video of him at that age. Although, he did hit his longest drive? when he was 64...so maybe that's the best period to watch his swing?
By: natep513. on 04 Feb 11, 09:37:56
Great video.....Just imagine? how he must've been swinging that club at age 25-30 !!
By: HabloIrlandes. on 26 Jan 11, 04:16:58
What about Jimmy Bruen? he'd have had? auld Mike in his pocket.
