The evolution of this record is pretty amazing.
It really is, just breaking 1000 was a huge deal when a couple people did that a few years ago, now it's at over 1600 and even tougher to top.
We did 1620 holes in 21 hours and 10 minutes. Thanks for the gratz guys. We are hardcore disc golfers that wanted to raise awareness for the sport. Our record will get beat. No doubt about it. Cody I believe can get it done. However, we feel we accomplished our mission in raising money for local park improvement as well as raising awareness to over 300,000 folks in the Quad City area with interviews and articles. Next time we go at 2000 holes.

No doubt, and while people will only push it further, I don't think people will continue to break it with the same frequency we've seen in the past. As the number of holes climbs higher, I think that a single person with a well equipped and organized support team will begin to approach the limit somewhere south of 2000 holes, and we'll start to see record being broken by only a few holes and probably a few failed (but valiant) attempts.The evolution of this record is pretty amazing.It really is, just breaking 1000 was a huge deal when a couple people did that a few years ago, now it's at over 1600 and even tougher to top.
Every time someone tries this record, it seems to be on a shorter and shorter course. At what point is it no longer acceptable?
Which in the grand scheme of things means what?I'm sorry you're the one defending this current attempt, but considering the worldwide publication we're dealing with, for-charity or not, you're attempting to declare yourself the greatest-person-ever at some activity.
They don't. Guiness has the final say on what goes into the Guiness Book of World Records.So, it is down to each individual parks dept to make a course before it is "officially" a course? That's odd that a parks dept has the final say on what goes into the Guiness Book of World Records.
Whether there's a parks department or not is irrelevant. The point is none of the courses used in the past to break the record were installed with the specific intent of someone using it to make a "most holes played in 24 hours" world record attempt. They were installed for everyday play. That's what makes them permanent.I can think of many courses away from city limits that have had zero parks dept intervention. Does this mean those courses cannot be used to push the record, since they weren't created by the parks dept?
I doubt Guiness would allow that because even if you accomplished such, you would be installing it solely for the purpose of breaking the record.It seems all I have to do is make sure my 2 baskets (which would be 5 ft apart from each other) have poles encased in concrete 6 ft into the ground, and thus constitutes a "permanent" course.

I have heard absolutely nothing about any of the world record attempts outside of disc golf message boards, or news articles about the attempts. Even to most disc golfers, this isn't exactly on their radar.
