Record for most holes played in one day?

Answer 1

Dear Mr. Miles,

On August 24,1937 my father Wilson Darlington Morris, son of Wilson Clark Morris of whom the science building at Central Missouri State University is named, played a marathon Golf game to see how many holes he could play in a single day. My father played with a companion who collapsed in the afternoon but attested the holes and score. Members of the club, and later caddies sent out by the Chamber of Commerce, began caddying and continued keeping score for my dad. The whole event was covered in an article the next day in the Daily Star Journal of Warrensurg, written by a young golf club member, journalist and member of the staff of the paper, James C. Kirkpatrick, who progressed on to serving twenty years as Secretary of State of Missouri. It turned out that, when it got too dark to play any more golf, my father had played one hundres and forty-seven holes with a score thirty-three under par.

Is there any way of obtaining a copy of the article, I would love to be able to show my children?

Thank you for your attention,

Dennis J. Morris, M.D.
