Tell us about your best golf feat

A golf course, at its essence, is about 150 acres of pure possibility. If you want to get metaphysical or just a little weird, contained within the boundaries of 18 holes is everything that has ever happened and ever will happen on that assortment of grass, sand and water.

Multiply the world’s current 38,000 courses by a history dating back to hickory shafts, and well, a lot of cool stuff has happened. And will continue to happen.

Golf Digest has been chronicling the records and rarities of all players (pros, ams and duffers) since our founding in 1950. We know of golfers who’ve made multiple holes-in-one in a single round, as well as while wearing handcuffs and swinging from their knees. We know of a fella who has broken his age 3,359 times, another who has done it both lefty and righty, and a pro who shot a 64 at age 87. I once played golf with a guy who claimed 628 holes in a row without a three-putt, and the stroke checked out. When it comes to multiple chip-ins, we’ve got male, female and junior divisions. And so forth.

Yet, anytime it starts to feel like there are no records left to be broken, our editorial staff catches wind of something astonishing. Like Barry Gibbons, who walked 878 rounds in one year. Or we get an update about a golfer we already knew about, like Arlene McKitrick, who has now won 116 club championships across 12 clubs.

On the eve of our 75th anniversary, Golf Digest is triple-checking the scorecard of our recordbook to make sure it is current. Have you, or someone you know, achieved something truly singular on a golf course? Let us know by sending a detailed email to gdsocial@golfdigest.com. As always, we’ll confirm by phoning playing partners, pro shops and cross-referencing against our archive. If it holds up, you could be featured in our upcoming celebration.

There’s an interpretation of quantam mechanics, incorporating the theory of many worlds across space-time, that posits that anything that can happen, will happen. But that’s probably too much to be thinking about over a golf shot. Just make a good shoulder turn.
