Kings of Distance - Live! with Callaway Golf culminated in a thrilling Grand Finale after a full day of of clinics, media training with Rob Lee, long-driving masterclasses with Joe Miller, lessons from Alvaro Quiros, Alex Noren and Danny Willett and much more.

Some 90 participants gathered in a stand behind Stoke Park's first tee to watch Rob Lee request a number of different shots from Quiros, Noren and Willett, including a chipping challenge, Bubba-style driver shots high fades with long irons.

After the professional showcase, Lee introduced two finalists from each of the eight teams to take part in the Kings of Distance - Live! Shoot Out.

The winning team - those who measured the biggest combined driving distance with the best of their two balls - earned a new Callaway driver for themselves and the rest of their team.

Joe Miller's phenomenal driving distance show - including shots with putters, through wooden planks and melons - rounded off a hugely-popular day.
