It wouldn’t be much fun playing golf with Seb Twaddell. Well, it would and it wouldn’t. He’d drive the ball way, way past you on every hole. After a while, it would start to grate. But watching him taking on crazy lines and driving most of the par 4s would also be quite entertaining, especially if the odd drive went 400 yards sideways.
The 24-year-old, who used to play off plus four, can produce a mind-boggling 246.8mph ball speed, which is a world record. He doesn’t play so much ‘regular’ golf these days, for his golf career, much like one of his tee shots, has taken a slightly different path. He’s a long drive specialist, capable of hitting the ball nearly 500 yards (his personal best in competition is 473 yards).
