Seeking Advice on Golf Hole Records

I’ve been hearing a lot about the records for the most golf holes played in 24 hours, and I’m curious to learn more! It seems like an interesting challenge, not just for the sheer number of holes but also considering the stamina and strategy involved.

A Look at the Records

From what I’ve found, Eric Byrnes holds the record, which is both inspiring and a bit intimidating. I’d love to know:

  • How exactly did he manage that?
  • Did he walk the course or use a cart?
  • What were the conditions like?

Preparing for a Challenge

If anyone’s attempted something similar, I’d really appreciate your insights! Here are a few questions I have:

  • What kind of physical preparation did you do?
  • Were there tips for pacing yourself on the course?
  • Any recommended gear or nutrition to keep energy levels high throughout?

Rules and Regulations

It seems like there might be some particular rules from organizations like Guinness World Records regarding these attempts. If anyone has details, sharing those would be very helpful!

Share Your Stories

Lastly, I’d love to hear any personal stories of people who took on this challenge or even lesser-known ones who pushed themselves to their limits. All experiences, big or small, would be great to hear.

Thanks in advance for any info you can share!

Playing in a group is great, but be wary of slow players! Make sure everyone is committed to a fast pace.

Rest is crucial. Stretching and hydrating will help, but I also recommend a good night’s sleep to recharge.
