Speedgolf Australia
Golf Australia has established a Memorandum of Understanding with Speedgolf Australia to work mutually to grow golf participation.
With health benefits being a key driver for participation in sport, Speedgolf is a fun, fast, and fitness based alternative to traditional golf. The game involves playing a round of golf in the shortest time and in the lowest possible number of shots.
The sport is believed to have begun in the 1970's when a number of golfers began setting and chasing the world record. The current world record was established in 2005 when Christopher Smith shot a five under par 65 in 44 minutes and 6 seconds for a score of 109:06.
