Tuesday 6th October 2018. – It was in 2012 when we founded the Long Drivers European. The last 6 years we have been around Europe in so many places and we have organized 50 long drive tournaments. We have worked very hard to grow the sport (not only in Europe), no one can imagine howmany hours we have dedicated to this sport; we are very proud of it. Now it´s the right time to announce that will not continue with the tour next season, this has been the last season.

It has been a pleasure to be in all the places where we have been. We also want to say thanks to all the golf courses, sponsors, people who worked with us and especially to all the players we have had during these 6 seasons. Congratulations to all the champions (21 different champs) and especially to Joe Miller (2013 & 2014 champion), Maurice Allen (2015 & 2016), Matt Nicolle (2017) and Martin Borgmeier (2018). Again, many thanks to everybody and all the best to the long drive sport!

Now it´s time for new challenges. Regards

Sunday 21st October 2018.- Aamazing year for Germany’s The Beard Borgmeier, having won 3 other events and securing his new title as the 2018 LDET Champion. “What happened this year with Long Drive was a U-turn in my life,” Borgeier says in a post-event address.

But the Beard wasn’t the only LDET player with a standout 2018. The Hungarian Hulk Horvath also notched 3 wins, hit the season’s longest drive (443), and was a mere 400 points short of Borgmeier in final ranking points. “It was an amazing season for me,” he told the crowd. “I’m very happy for everything.” PRESS RELEASE

Sunday 21st October, VINARÒS.- Due to the bad conditions we had yesterday until 11:30 at Panorámica Golf, the LDET decided to cancel the last tournament of the season. It was not an easy decision. The conditions to do a professional FINAL event were not good: No electricity, no music, Dj could not arrive , no clock, bad grid... We can NOT either accept insults like we had from a player and also discrediting the course, the tour, the sport...

NOTE: Torrential rainfall in Vinaròs left roads cut off and up to 50 centimetres (1'8”) of flood water on the pavements. The rain reached a terrifying 200 to 250 litres per square metre in the town of Vinaròs. Rainfall reaching 40 litres per square metre – around four centimetres – is classed as a major seasonal storm and is enough for the met office to issue weather warnings and put emergency flood protection measures into operation. (See the first photo below: a lot of sand on the grid)

19th October.- During the weekend you can follow the MASTERS LDET CUP on Instagram, Facebook & Twitter. All the results, distances, videos, photos, interviews... and more of the big final event of the 2018 season.
