Fastest Hole of Golf... Can I beat it? Can You?

How is 1:29 the "fastest hole of golf"? Every hole-in-one ever has taken way less time than that, right?

"the rules of the attempt dictated that the par-five tenth hole had to play a minimum of 500 yards with each player required to finish the hole carrying the same number of clubs they started with." So I am assuming for the attempt to be valid it has to be a regular par-five... so I guess if you can blast a drive that carries 475 yards and roll it into the hole than yeah... sounds unlikely though haha

Yeah the distribution of times would look pretty interesting if a hole in 1 or 2 doesn't require you to run to the green. Does the clock stop when the ball goes in, or when you pick the ball out of the cup? If the latter then you'd always have to run the length of the hole no matter how well you struck it.

How are you a D1 runner in-season with lots of time to play golf?

Are you a library studies major or something?

Steve Scott did a fast 18 holes once, which might have even been a record at the time. He did it with just a 5 iron.

Isn't Nick Willis a speed golfer?

Communications Major baaaaby!

Yes he has goofed around with speed golfing.

I've tried to beat a record in my local golf club for the fastest golf hole, and I nearly made it but my caddy boy ruined it all. He actually dropped all my golf clubs at the previous spot, so we lost a lot of time until he ran for them. Brilliant, I was really disappointed and I told myself that I will never ever use a caddy boy service, even if I have a back trauma. So that's why I left golf for a time because I was not able to carry my clubs and to push them on a caddy was not possible either. But I received a gift on my birthday that changed my mind immediately, it was a remote controlled caddy, and as far as I know you can find one on this site https://us.mgigolf.com/collections/electric-remote-control-caddy-golf-carts this is the perfect solution for me and as I know a lot of people are buying them, it is the century of technologies so why we are not using them, more than that I bought a rangefinder for my golf game, and now I toatally ready to beat that record once again

I did a few speed golf tournaments a few years ago. Fun but tough. I usually carried a putter, driver, 6i, and some wedge. The picking up the clubs every shot was the worst. Gets to your back. Usually would drive it great but I found the short game etc harder to manage when gasssed and panting. Putting was often horrendous and I'm usually decent.

Have heard of tournaments where you have a cart and driver for your clubs. That would be way more appealing but haven't had the opportunity.
