RE/MAX World Women’s Long Drive Championship Won By Transgender
December 27, 2008
It has to be one of the strangest golf stories of the year. The women’s RE/MAX World Long Drive Championship was won this year by a woman who at one point was a 245 pound male SWAT cop.
She won with a 245 yard drive into a 40 mph headwind.
It’s all apparently permissible under the rules. In spite of what you’d think, Lana Lawless performs under the standards for a normal female.

Ok, forgoing the fairness of letting a person with XY chromosomes compete in a women’s event for the moment-
How do you proceed with a long drive championsip with winds of 40mph. Was this a contant 40mph headwind for all contestants? Today my group played in winds gusting up to about 40 mph, with sustained winds of about 20mph at times. (there were at least 5 putts today where I looked down onto a ball which was wobbling in the wind). Rarely could we count on what the wind was doing though, and it could change angles within a few moments as well.
I think Re/Max had a lot of unfairness going on in this event.
