VIRGINIA BEACH, VA – HorsePower Sports Marketing ushers in a new era in long drive competition with the announcement of BIG SHOTS TITANS AT THE TEE, a team-based long drive tournament that will air this fall on FOX. The competition tees off on Tuesday, June 23, 2009 from the award-winning Lake of Isles golf course at Foxwoods Casino Resort in Ledyard, CT.
BIG SHOTS TITANS AT THE TEE pairs the best long drivers in America with celebrities and sports legends such as NFL greats Lawrence Taylor, Marcus Allen, Eric Dickerson, Jim McMahon and Joe Theismann, Oscar-nominated actor Mark Wahlberg, MLB Hall of Famers Jim Rice and Goose Gossage and Olympic champion and reality TV show star Bruce Jenner in a challenge that tests power, skill and accuracy. Unlike other long drive competitions where golfers just have to drive the ball as far as possible into an open field, the BIG SHOTS TITANS AT THE TEE tournament will be played over the beautiful first hole at Lake of Isles, forcing each golfer to maneuver trees, bunkers and other course obstacles in order to land the ball on the fairway. Chalked off in five-yard increments ranging from 200-400 yards from the tee box, with a grid similar to that of a football field, the fairway is 60 yards at its widest point, but narrows to as small as 30 yards, forcing the drivers to be precise. The golf ball has to land in the field of play for the distance to be accepted. ...Read more...
