Golf Nuts break world record

Ok, my 63 holes in 15 hours do not quite match what some of my fellow Golf Nuts just achieved:

At midnight on June 19, 2007, a foursome of certifiable members of the Golf Nut Society, broke the Guinness World Record for the Most Holes Played by a Four Ball in a 24-hour period.  The golf nuts played 195 holes in just under 21 hours.  The old Guinness record was 180 holes in 24 hours. The record will be made “official” within the next three weeks when the Guinness book completes the audit of the scorecards, witness statements and course yardage.

“It was grueling, and in the worst conditions you can imagine,” recounted Donovan of their round at Dragon Ridge Golf Club in Henderson, Nevada, USA.  “We played in 25-30 mph winds and a high temperature of 107 degrees, with a low of only 99 degrees.”

The foursome also broke two Golf Nut Society records:
1. Most Holes played at night: 53 (old record 18)
2. Fastest 18 Holes by a foursome in a cart: 1:25:06 (old record: 1 hour, 33 minutes by a twosome!)
