Longest Drive Challenge: Round 2 – Current Standings
(As of May 2 at 3:00 PM ET)
The 2025 Longest Drive Challenge Swings Into Action!
The 2025 Longest Drive Challenge teed off last Friday, and we’re already seeing some big drives and bold moves on the leaderboard! Stacy “The Wolverine” Singer came out swinging and clinched the win in Round 1 for the Great Lakes Region—nicely played!
As of 3:00 PM ET today (May 2), Lora “Pink Panther” Davis is sitting at the top of the leaderboard, holding the lead heading into the front nine. But don’t count anyone out just yet—Tara Anne “TT” Pleat is gaining ground, and Stacy “The Wolverine” Singer is still in the hunt, eyeing another clutch putt.
This challenge isn’t just about bragging rights—it’s The ACTEC Foundation’s Spring Fundraiser, a vital driver of our mission and core programs. Help your favorite golfer go the distance by making a donation and giving them a much-needed boost down the fairway.
And here’s a little something for the scorecard: All Fellows who chip in and attend the 2025 Summer Meeting will earn a Foundation Donor Blue Ribbon on their badge—wear it with pride!
Keep your eyes on the Leaderboard and support your favorite golfer before Round 2 ends. Let’s drive it home for a great cause!
