Woodward in town for driving demo

JAKARTA (JP): Driving skills play a major role in winning golf
match as English golfer Karl Woodward might prove in a one-day
demo at Pondok Indah Golf and Country Club, South Jakarta, this
morning.

Woodward, whose best drive of 365 yards (333.8 meters) will
appear in the Guiness Book of World Records next year as the
longest ever, promised on his arrival Thursday night that he
would delight Jakarta's golf enthusiasts with his driving.

Woodward drove a ball to the world's longest mark in the Greg
Norman LEAF Classic in Boca Raton, Florida, on April 27 this
year. The ball rolled on 13 yards further after touching the
grass. He used a 45-inch, average club 7 shaft-extrashift made by
Goldwin, the golf equipment company sponsoring his Indonesian
tour. (amd)
