68 year old Alabama golfer plays 500 holes ... in a row

[transplant99]

Bob Kurtz knocked out 500 holes in 39 consecutive hours of golf. That's 27 18-hole rounds, with one 14-hole round left over. And every single hole was played at Chesley Oaks in Fairview, Alabama. He started at 5:01 a.m. on a Wednesday and finished at 7:48 p.m. on Thursday

Unreal.

His monster round raised more than $40,000 for various charities, according to Kurtz.

he notched his age twice, and shot par or better 12 times. Overall, he averaged 72.6 for the daytime game and 76.7 once the sun went down. (He used glow-in-the-dark balls for the evening rounds.)

Awesome stuff

That's impressive.

Wonder how much of that $40,000 in charity was raised via his own personal swear jar?

I have played 500 holes in a row but it was not golf.

Further proof that golf is not a sport.

So, I think someone needs to invite him to Calgary where he can play golf from 5:00 am until well past ten on the longest day of the year.

This guy is my new hero.
