Long drive is a sport where competitors hit a golf ball as far as they can.

It's exciting to watch and it has captured the attention of golfers worldwide. Participants have two minutes to hit six golf balls and the longest ball that finishes in the grid wins. Fueled by music and cheering from the stands, the energy of the event ‘drives’ competitors to hit the ball as far as possible to win. ALD Canada is a long drive tour composed of a series of events across Canada. Series events cater to all ages with hitters competing in divisions by age and gender. Once you get your Membership, members can compete in any ALD events worldwide to earn ranking points. Top points winners get selected for ALD Team Canada to compete at the ALD World Championships.
