World Long Drive champion Martin Borgmeier tries to hit 459 balls over 300 yards in ONE hour!

In the latest challenge organised by the DP World Tour, World Long Drive champion Martin Borgmeier was set the task of trying to break the Guinness World Records TM title for the most drives over 300 yards in one hour.

Armed with a Callaway PARADYM driver, Borgmeier had 60 minutes to hit as many drives over the 300-yard line as possible. 

The number to beat was 459, set in 2016 by Lynn Ray (USA) at the Riverwalk Golf Club in San Diego, California, USA.

Filmed on 27th March at London Golf Club, a European Tour Destination and Callaway partner venue, Borgmeier was pushed to his physical and mental limits as he tried to keep up the pace of hitting one 300 yard drive every 7.8 seconds.

Assisted by his friend Jacob in the teeing up of the ball, the pair worked together for 60 mins straight with every drive being counted by the Guinness World Records TM adjudicator and team of spotters.

With cold and wet conditions on the day, the elements were working against the pair, but would Borgmeier have the stamina as well as the strength to set a new Guinness World Record?
