The Great Drive Debacle: When Golf's Unwritten Rules Get in the Way of Good Sportsmanship The world of professional golf has been abuzz with news of Yanhan Zhou's record breaking 514 yard drive at the Danish Golf Championship.
However, while some might celebrate this achievement as a remarkable display of skill and power, others see it as symptomatic of a larger issue: the increasingly blurred lines between sportsmanship and cheating.
The official website of the DP World Tour notes that the 598 yard par 5 fifth hole at Great Northern in Kerteminde, Denmark features a long cart path on its right side – a feature that may have inadvertently contributed to Zhou's astonishing shot.
