Jamie Sadlowski’s rapid rise to the top echelon of power golf has been nothing short of spectacular. The Canadian phenom, a former junior hockey player from St. Paul, Alberta, has made an immediate impact on the sport of long drive.

Twice a junior world champion, Sadlowski subsequently stepped up on the big stage at the RE/MAX World Long Drive Championship in Mesquite, Nevada and won back-to-back titles in 2008 and 2009. His win in 2008 included a record for longest winning drive in the finals (418 yards).

Sadlowski’s 2010 bid for a third consecutive RE/MAX world title ended with a 396-388 loss in a seismic semifinal showdown with the eventual champion, England’s Joe Miller.

Among Sadlowski’s 2010 highlights were a resounding win at LDA’s Texas Shootout and a third-place finish at LDA’s Mile High Shootout. In Texas, Sadlowski hammered a winning ball of 429 yards; afterward, at the urging of the gallery and just for grins, he set a personal best with 445 yards. In his three competitive appearances in 2010, he averaged 405 yards per drive. Amazing.

Sadlowski, who turns 23 in July 2011, has parlayed his prowess with the big stick into a career as a power golf entertainer. Having set up a U.S. base of operations at Whisper Rock in Scottsdale, Arizona, where he hangs out with PGA Tour stars past and present, Sadlowski to date has put on more than 100 power shows. He anticipates booking a full schedule of corporate and charitable outings in 2011.

Sadlowski has also forged partnerships with a group of sponsors that includes Adams Golf, Dick’s Sporting Goods, Slazenger and Zero Friction, among others.

The arc of Jamie Sadlowski’s career as a golf entertainer closely resembles the trajectory of his towering tee shots: the sky’s the limit.
