PE Teacher Plays Fastest Ever Hole of Golf

With slow play still a big issue at golf clubs up and down the country, golfers may want to take a leaf out of Steve Jeffs' book.

A tardy 18 holes isn't often a problem for the PE Teacher, who recently broke the Guinness World Record for the fastest hole of golf ever played.

Because of Guinness's strict rulings, Steve had to carry every club that he used the full length of the 500-yard hole, meaning that he not only sprinted almost a third of a mile, but also had to shoulder a heavy golf bag.

It's a good job then that Steve is no stranger to getting through golf holes at breakneck speed.

The PE teacher is a member of the British Speedgolf association, for whom he is a "longtime ambassador", and regularly whips round 18 holes in under an hour.

He hopes that his record-breaking heroics will encourage others to get into speed golf and "show his students and daughter the importance of fitness".
