Bo knows golf. Hits drive 331 yards in charity golf tournament.
Bo Jackson is 51 years old and has an artificial hip. Wonder how far he could have hit a golf ball with the body he had 25 years ago?
USA Today
Just to put how far Bo Jackson hit his drive in context: the PGA Tour golfer with the longest average driving distance this year hits the ball 317 yards, and on the Senior Tour — where the 51 year-old Jackson would technically be competing — his 331 yard drive would be the fifth longest of any drive hit all year.
It was all part of a charity golf tournament called the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl Challenge, which included a smattering of coaches and celebrities, like Jackson. Jackson obviously claimed the longest drive honors, while Auburn coach Gus Malzahn won the closest chip to the pin contest.
