Yup, you read that correctly, it is indeed an accomplishment worthy of a Guiness World Record. And while catching a golf ball in a moving car might not be a good idea to try at home, Formula 1 legend David Coulthard and rookie European pro golfer Jake Shepherd -- with a little help from Mercedes -- took it to task. With Coulthard in an SLS Roadster and Shepherd doing his best impression of a teenager trying to hit the cart picking up golf balls at the driving range, watch as they connect on this 178-mph bomb to set the record. I'm not entirely sure whose record they broke, but it is indeed a remarkable feat.


That's pretty crazy!

Amusing....and crazy.        Looks like they filmed it at Dunsfold where Top Gear is shot - I wonder if it will be in a future episode?

I wonder if Jake Shepherd will catch some heat from his sponsors, though.  He's wearing a Callaway Razr Fit golf hat but playing with a TaylorMade driver.

      Day 203 3-8  Focus on getting wider in backswing and reconnecting arm in downswing. With wider backswing reconnecting arm wasn't happening as well. Made some good progress. Hit foam balls.

      Lets see, Kapalua, and any other course played on Maui, Hualalai, Koolina and the course where the LPGA now plays the Lotte, Poipu, St Andrews, and Ballyliffen. I think that's it, never chased it but sure do enjoy playing Kapalua, Koolina and Hualalai. Will

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Updated feels Backswing 1. Knees stay at the same depth 2. Shift right 3. Right now it's imagining the hand path going right and up by raising the right arm. I imagine the hands holding the club while it is pointed up and behind me at my right shoulder.  4. Torso (belly) and hips stay facing forward.  Downswing 1. Mostly just straightening in combination with arms down behind me. I know my knees are bent, but it doesn't feel like much. It doesn't feel explosive because I am not going from a deeper squat.  2. Hands to right pocket or right foot. It should feel like my go down as my shoulders stay up. Stay taller. I don't need to use the body to get the club down.
