As seen on this site and others Jim Colton played 155 holes of golf today and raised thousands of dollars for an injured caddie, a remarkable feat and a commendable cause.

Not to detract from the feat and the cause but out of curiosity I googled the world record for most holes of golf played in a day and couldn't find anything. The first link however was most holes in a week. The number was amazing and came out to 1,850 (that is an avg of essentially 265 HOLES A DAY!!!). What is as amazing is the guy who did it was 70 years old and averaged under 75 for each round he played. He didn't use a cart but still the high each day was over 90 degrees in humid Alabama.

Also stunning is this occurred a week ago and I have heard nothing about it and the individual was a CNN sports anchor and is currently a pastor that did this in connection with charity.

More stats from http://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/ :

Most holes in a day with a cart: 851 by Robb James (Canada) at Victoria Golf Course

Most holes in 12 hours walking: 221 by Scott Holland (Canada) at Fairmont Banff Springs Golf Course

Most holes of golf played in one year: 11,000 by Richard Lewis (USA) all at the Four Seasons Resort and Club in Irving

The most golf I've played in a day is walking 72 holes and people looked at me like I was crazy doing it (my feet were also screaming).  What is the most golf you have played in a given period of time?
