Accepting the challenge of a friend to pot 108 holes in the game of golf, Beatrice High School golf coach Dick Stuart, middle school teacher Ben Essam and golf pro Joel Brueggemann made a record of sorts by playing 110 holes, a bit more than the original goal.

When their friend Jim Edwards said it was impossible to play six rounds of golf in one day, the trio decided to start at 5:45 a.m. and finished two more than six rounds of 18 holes at 9:15 p.m. The first few holes were literally played in the morning fog.

AP quotes Stuart as saying, "One hundred ten seemed like a good number. We thought 110 sounded better than 108." For the six rounds, Brueggemann shot 431, one under par of 432, which is six rounds on the par-72 course. His best round was a 68 on the fourth round.

Also, Stuart shot 446, and Essam 494. They finished just a few holes short of a world record unknowingly. Robb James of Canada played 851 holes at Victoria Golf Course at Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, over 24 hours on June 21-22, 2004.

The most holes played in 24 hours of walking is 401 by Australian Ian Colston at Bendigo Golf Club, Victoria, Australia, on Nov. 27-28, 1971.
