Hitting a long and straight drive is challenging enough on the golf course, let alone when a moving car is your target, but Marcus Armitage managed it in spectacular style on his way to breaking a Guinness World Record.

The European Tour golfer, nicknamed 'the Bullet', was set the task of trying to break the record for the 'farthest golf shot caught in a moving car' during a recent challenge at Elvington Airfield, near York.

Former Formula 1 driver David Coulthard and golfer Jake Shepherd set the previous record back in 2012, with Armitage and BMW Touring Car Driver Paul O'Neill looking to better their distance of 273 yards.

O'Neill was driving a BMW M8 convertible down the runway and trying to catch Armitage's drives inside the vehicle, with the pair seeing several near-misses before finally reaching their record-breaking target.



Wow, what a weird record :lol: . But, congratulations to them: they seem extremely happy with their achievement!

Though, I have to wonder: is there some kind of technique to this, or is it just pure luck? And how many failed attempts did they have before they finally succeeded Rofl ???
