Ultimate Night Golf: NY Man Pursues World Record with Flashlights and Glowing Golf Balls!

Kelechi Ezihie initially aspired to play for 24 hours to achieve a Guinness World Record but quickly discovered that a British golfer had already set the bar at 32 hours on a Norwegian course. This revelation came from his sister, sparking both surprise and resolve in Ezihie. Defying fatigue, rain, and sore feet, he pressed on to surpass Isaac Rowlands. “I take immense pride in being a world champion,” he expressed, reflecting on this rare opportunity he plans to share with future generations. With the support of friends wielding flashlights and glowing golf balls, the 27-year-old commenced his journey at Huntington Crescent Club around 6:30 p.m. Sunday, concluding after 5:30 a.m. Tuesday, completing an impressive 126 holes. Friends documented his endeavor for Guinness verification, adhering to the competition's rules for breaks. Kylie Galloway of Guinness noted that confirmation can take 12 to 15 weeks. Ezihie, who champions inclusivity in golf, is also committed to establishing a golf center in his native Nigeria.
