We’re happy to host NorCal Long Drive 2023 at the Haggin Oaks Driving Range this year!
Hit it hard and hit it long with NorCal Long Drive 2023 at Haggin Oaks! Kevin Mudron is back with his free, weekly Long Drive Challenge every Thursday on the Haggin Oaks Driving Range. Everyone is welcome to participate and witness a power driving competition between some of the best in Northern California, especially if you’ve never seen one before.
Kevin has made Long Drive a much sought-after sport with high entertainment value for NorCal. We spoke to Kevin in anticipation of the new long drive season, and he’s more excited than ever. “At last year’s PLDA (now World Long Drive WLD) Championship, half of the final round for amateurs were from NorCal,” says Kevin, now in his 3rd year running Long Drive events at Haggin. “This shows the local potential NorCal has. In my opinion, we have the largest local group of long drivers anywhere. We also had a 6th-place finisher in the pro division, Sean Johnson. Others competed for pro but did not make the final round.” Great showing, guys!
Kevin’s enthusiasm is contagious; it’s evident our local long drive scene is gaining momentum nationally!
