35-yar-old Kiwi Brad Luiten has smashed the precious world record for consecutive holes played over 12 hours by completing 237 holes. That’s 16 more than the previous record, reports News Now in New Zealand.

Mortgage broker Luiten is known as an avid marathoner who already owns the record for a 10k completed on crutches. The 11-handicap used just a 6-iron all day.

Luiten was inspired to break the record after a friend passed away last year, and was looking to raise awareness for those affected by bowel cancer.
