New York Man Beats Guinness World Record By Playing Golf For 36 Hours
A New York man may have earned a Guinness World Record by playing golf for 36 consecutive hours. Kelechi Ezihie was originally going to golf for 24 hours but he found in the middle of his run a Norwegian man had just completed an attempt that went on for 32 hours. So he bumped it up to 36. Now he just has to submit the evidence to make it official.
Why do it? Ezihie said he wants to expand the reach of golf, especially to young people in Nigeria, where he bought land and plans to build a course.
“People assume that golf is for the wealthy and I’m trying to change that,” Ezihie told CBS New York. “The goal is to let people know that golf is a game for everybody. Whatever your economic background or somebody with special needs, you can play the game of golf.”
