On Sunday & Monday, May 24th & 25th, Mesquite Amateur was transformed into the ultimate golf demo day and carnival. The club manufacturers Callaway, Cobra, Taylor Made, Cleveland, Titleist, Mizuno, Ping and Bridgestone Golf and their Ball Fitting Challenge was very well attended with the golf stalls being full the whole day with people testing their latest and greatest in golf equipment.

There was a lot of attendees for RE/MAX Long Drive Experience Tour and the winner in both categories on Sunday was a 334 yard drive from on of the Masters.

Some local St. George, Utah boys result were as follows: Karl Malin had a drive of 302, Robbie Pelton with a drive of 330 and Bob Pelton with a excellent drive of 298.

Just four yards and 1 mm was all Robbie needed to win a the prize of a driver from Callaway

The Long Drive began at 1:00pm and went to 4:00pm both days with prizes to the winner in the age groups of 0-45 years old and 45 and above.

The weather was great. It was about 98 degrees with wind at about 14 miles per hour with some gusts later in the day which probably made it harder for the last of the long drivers to match the winners drive earlier towards 1:00pm Sunday.

I know I look forward to this excellent event next year as well as playing in the 8th Annual Amateur Mesquite Golf Tournament.
