Brittany Lincicome, is long off the tee box, earning her the nickname of Bam Bam on the LPGA Tour.  Learning about how to drive long has come from boyfriend Dewald Gouws, he is a long drive competitor.

Bam Bam and Dewald are engaged and they called it “love at first drive.”  They have been together for two years, and Bam Bam says she’s been “on cloud nine,” on and off the golf course.

Fiancé Dewald is a professional long driver—the 2008 Remax World Long Drive Championship runner up—and has recently moved to the U.S. from South Africa to be with Brittany on a permanent basis.

Dewald explained how he got into long driving in the first place;

“Playing tournament golf fellow professionals told me that I should try long drive because I naturally hit the ball farther than my competitors on the course.”

“So in April 2008 I started training on a bit more speed and 2 weeks later won my first tournament.”

“After that I realized that if I applied myself and worked hard I’ll be able to perform at a level where I can compete with the longest hitters on the planet.”

“I then started working harder in the gym and hitting thousands of balls on the range.”

He has an impressive record, World Long Drive Finalist, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011 and also has the highest swing speed recorded of 152 mph, and longest competitive drive 464 yards.
