In the notable world records category: Farthest wave ever caught in a moving car.
Amazing world record
You’ve probably experienced it: a game of golf with your friends, some jokes and gags, and maybe a few bad shots to laugh at together. But what if we told you that a record combined golf and racing has been broken? Doesn’t that sound too crazy to be true? And yet it has happened. A remarkable event took place on April 8, 2021 at Elvington Airport in York, UK. An astonishing distance of 277.06 metres (908 feet 9.8 inches) was covered. But this wasn’t just any wave; the ball was caught in a moving car.
Brave men are needed.
Now you are naturally wondering: Who are the people behind this remarkable achievement? Well, let us introduce you to the record holders. First and foremost we have Marcus Armitagea talented golfer on the European PGA Tour, was responsible for the wave that sent the ball on its way to its destination. But that’s not all! A world record also needs a driver. And that’s Paul O’Neill. Paul is no ordinary driver, he’s a professional racing driver. And he caught the golf ball in a BMW.
What makes this record so special is the combination of two completely different sports: golf and racing. Who would have thought this combination was possible? Golf is known for precision and elegance, while racing is all about speed and adrenaline. It seems like a match made in heaven.
Guinness World Records
It will come as no surprise that an achievement of this caliber had to be officially recognized, and it has. Guinness World Records is the organization that keeps world records. Take for example the world record for the hardest farmer ever. They were there to certify this incredible event. The moment was immortalized and captured for the world to see.
