I read somewhere that John Daly, driving on the 18th, hit one over the clubhouse and landed it on the next golf course up the street. The yardage wasn't calculated.

More than 1300 yards.
The Museum of Flight records that 'on Nov. 26, 1993, pop star Suggs of the group Madness hit "the world’s longest golf putt" aboard Concorde. Due to the aircraft’s supersonic speed, the two-second putt down the aisle carried the ball more than 1,300 yards.' The putt was for a fundraising stunt for a children’s charity.

Yes, but as motion is relative, the ball can really count only as having traveled the distance of the plane's length.
Shepard's famous golf swing didn't go for more than one mile, and that certainly was not done with a course legal club (though it was a standard golf ball).
