The fastest game of golf ever
Written on Thursday, July 24th 2008
Last weekend in Michigan, 40 people went golfing in an attempt to break the world record for the fastest game of golf. After only 7 minutes and 56 seconds, the game was over and these guys held a new Guinness World Record.
The event format required golfers to be strategically placed on the course’s tee boxes, along the fairways and on the greens. The timing began once the opening tee-ball was struck, with golfers in the fairway running to hit the ball when the ball came to rest. As golfers on the green sunk the putt, the players on the next hole immediately hit the next tee shot.
Of course they didn't release scores because, well, they were probably over 100 (per 9 holes)! But they weren't going for the fastest game of golf with the best score, just the fastest game of golf. And they did it!
I'd personally rather enjoy my time golfing, even if I'm not the greatest golfer in the world.
