Bobby Wilson has been supporting the youngster Kyle Berkshire in his quest to break numerous records in his short career. Although Berkshire beat the record with relative ease, there were many struggles, and weather played an important part in that.


Kyle Berkshire only had a 30-minute window to beat the mark

A professional long-drive athlete has to worry about everything, from the weather to the actual timing of the event on the golf course. When Kyle Berkshire went on to attempt his record-breaking feat, he was on the West Coast with his film crew for a YouTube video. The temperature at the Rochelle Ranch in Wyoming was cold and included a strong wind blast.

Berkshire spoke about his struggle after beating the record and believes the situation would have been completely different after 30 minutes. He also spoke about the extreme weather conditions via golf.com.

“Had we waited another 30 minutes or so, we would not have done it.”

Berkshire added:

“It was one of those things where the weather played a humongous factor. We basically had that 30-minute window before the rain hit where the wind was acceptable and we could do it. It really worked out well.”

Kyle Berkshire has never played on the PGA Tour but is slowly establishing himself as one of the most skilled golfers of this generation. His record-breaking spree continues and the 26-year-old isn't gonna stop anytime soon.
