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?

    • These are the courses that I remember, but there may be others that I’m not remembering at the moment. I broke 100 atOakland Hills one time, but what I shot otherwise will be taken to the grave with me.    Country Club of the North - Several LPGA tournaments NCR Country Club South Course - 51st PGA, 41st US Women’s Open, 05 US Senior Open (attended) TPC Michigan - Ford Senior Players Championship Valhalla - 24, 14, 2000, and 96 PGA Championships, 11, and 04 Senior PGA Championships, 08 Ryder Cup Oakland Hills - 08 PGA Championship, 04 Ryder Cup, 96, 85, 61 and other US Opens TPC Sawgrass - The Players Championship  
    • Torrey Pines PGA West Stadium, and the two Jacks and the Palmer Rancho park Wilson/Harding (like Rancho LA Open way back in the day) Riviera (dozens of times in high school) Wilshire  Rancho Mirage Trump National Indian Wells
    • For me it was combo of good drama and total last man standing collapse... But it showed me once again that "ball rollback" is nonsense...when courses are set up to punish missed fairways and greens, that's where the quality golf (or total collapse) takes place...hurting the rest of us because a relatively few can bomb it 100 yards farther is idiotic...that Young bomb on 18 was gutsy... He misses the fairway with that he likely doesn't win, at least on that hole...
    • Followed by the longest drive on 18 in the shotlink era. That is a tough shot and he stood up there and did it. Fair play to him.
