BOYNE and News/Talk 760 WJR have successfully broken the Guinness World Record™ (GWR) for the Fastest Round of Golf. With an impressive time of 7 minutes, 56 seconds and over forty participants, this intense and exciting attempt took place on Sunday, July 20, 2008 at The Monument course at Boyne Mountain.
The event format required golfers to be strategically placed on the course’s tee boxes, along the fairways and on the greens. The timing began once the opening tee-ball was struck, with golfers in the fairway running to hit the ball when the ball came to rest. As golfers on the green sunk the putt, the players on the next hole immediately hit the next tee shot.
Pending final confirmation from GWR, the BOYNE/WJR team broke the previous record of 8 minutes, 47 seconds set by WJR’s sister station, WBAP, at Bridlewood Golf Club in Flower Mound, Texas in August of 2003. BOYNE and WJR are proud to have Michigan’s Boyne Mountain home of the world’s Fastest Round of Golf.
