  • World Long Drive Championships " Exchange Celebrating Services"

     World Long Drive embraced the intersection of competition and patriotism on Tuesday evening, with the Exchange Celebrating Service: Fort Jackson from the Army installation outside of Columbia, S.C. The evening began with the Army Golden Knights aerial parachute demonstration team landing on the Fort Jackson Golf Club hitting grid, and culminated in victory for Mikael Dubois (Military Division; League City, Texas), Chloe Garner (Women’s Division; Somerset West, South Africa), and Ryan Steenberg (Open Division; Rochester, N.Y.). The second Tour event of the World Long Drive season also marked the first time that a division of long drive hitters represented by military service members competed live on television.
