June 20, 2016: The two enterprising corporate golfers are at it again. The duo, if you remember, trekked around Ahmedabad last year playing 10 different courses in June last year. Siddharth Naik and Brijesh Patel started Monday wanting to play as much golf as physically possible around the Kalhaar Greens in Ahmedabad. They set a furious pace, striking soon as the first rays of Sun hit the lush green course. The duo completed playing 262 holes of alternative shots golf in just 9 hours 42 minutes and 35 seconds to establish a new record.

The duo completed their third round of the morning, playing alternative shots and using golf carts for mobility, at 0741hrs.

By 0821hrs they had completed their fourth round of the day. With 72 holes done they were just getting started, moving their target up from 270 to 300 holes for the day.

Naik and Patel got through 18 holes in just 37mins and 24secs, for the fastest round yet. As they march back and forth on the course, Golfing Indian will update you through the day.

It is a mammoth effort and a marathon task. But Siddharth and Brijesh are clearly made in steel and it will be an exciting story to chase today. Stay with us.

Midway through the day, we hear both Naik and Patel are doing rather well. They are beating the clock by a handsome hour, as they race from one hole to the next. Last we ticked, they completed ten rounds of golf and going strong.

Here are some pictures from the action on the course –

We are just beyond lunch hour and the team is going as strong as they can. A dozen rounds are in their bags now and they are ahead on the shot clock by an hour. If they can keep their energies flowing they are well on pace to crack past 300 holes today. It promises to be a massive day of record breaking golf by Naik and Patel.
