Holes in a DAy Record Attempt

[Martin Dewgarita]

Sale averaged 2 holes per minute for 24 hours straight once..

Do you suppose they follow order of play rules? Who's out? Is it my box? or how about Am I outside the circle? I dunno man, pace it off..

This is the thread for today's event. Ignore the other one.

My buddy and I play what we call the "West Side Ironman" you play 96 holes in one day and whoever is better prepared usually wins.

This makes that look like daisy picking.

Latest post they're at 354....trying for 425 before dark.

51 courses in 24 hrs is easily over 1 course every 30 min. What am i missing here? Even if they only played 9ers the whole way through they would have to never stop walking, throw as they approached the tee, pick up discs as they passed them, ditch all lost discs... surely im misunderstanding something.

Could be they're using a modified alternate shot doubles format. That'd allow them to leapfrog one another so to save time, e.g., inside "x" feet, same player holes out regardless of number of putts required while non-putter runs ahead to be in position to tee as soon as the putter holes out.

Holy crap guys....no....this is straight up. They're each playing all the holes.

I watched them for a while at their halfway point. They're playing ready golf - throw if you won't hit the other guy. They're keeping score and both are finishing each hole before they both move on to the next tee. I didn't see any jump putts, but they hardly ever landed outside the circle.

Wow. Just checked out the facebook page, these guys are nuts. Basically ultramarathoning combined with disc golf.

Broke the record at Ham Lake. BRP next to see how many holes they can squeeze in before 9:41 pm.

Amazing accomplishment! One of the posts on their FB page shows a picture of one of their phone apps with the number of miles walked/ran - they've got to be over fifty by now

The couple of times I played rounds with Sale was pretty impressive. That kid can throw.

I remember watching him tear apart summit with a teebird.

An incredible feat!:clap:
Myself and two friends played 81 unique holes(3 18s, 3 9s) a few years ago, and it seemed like a lot.
The last 9er was Ashe Lake's handi-course, so we stashed the bags and carried two putters each. When we finished, my buddy realized that somewhere he'd dropped the car keys when he went to put them in his pocket.:doh: There was no phone service, and it was a 2-mile hike to a no-service town of 63 people. 45 minutes later, deep into dusk, we found them by the light of cellphone.

By then, we were WHUPPED. Later it was funny, but not for a few days.:\

15 minutes to go.....man they must be BEAT.

 

[grodney]

Oops.....I didn't see their last post. They stopped at exactly 500 holes at 3:13am.

So 417 in daylight, and 500 overall. Wow.

Nice new record!

 

[oldfartdiscer]

I wonder how much time all this BS construction added to their travel time.

Its insane out here in the twin cities right now no matter where you go! Very cool to see route planned.
