Sadlowski Lost More Than the $250,000 at RE/MAX

Yes, it was a shock. Jamie Sadlowski, the man who broke GC's golf simulator twice -- TWICE! -- by punching through both the net and screen didn't even make the Final 4 at the RE/MAX Long Drive finals Wednesday night.

But for Sadlowski, the worst was yet to come.



Joe Miller and Jamie Sadlowski were the #1 and #2 seeds in almost everybody's opinion. And Miller did make it to the Finals, along with Tim Burke, the 2012 RE/MAX runner-up.

But this year Burke smoked them all... including Sadlowski's record.

You see, the guy who broke the GC simulator once with a driver and once with a 7-iron also held the record for the longest winning drive ever -- 418 yards back in 2008. That record now belongs to Burke, who hit it 427 yards. It's appropriate that he set the new record at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway, don't you think?

I would have posted a pic of Tim Burke hoisting the trophy -- or at least the winner's check -- but apparently nobody felt any urgency about posting either stories or photos of Tim's triumphant return to the Finals. (Not even at the official site!) Everybody's still in shock, I guess.

But if it's any consolation, I believe Sadlowski still holds the record for broken golf simulators.
