"Preparing for the ' Most
Birdies in 12 Hours
' record required stamina, skill and
most importantly mental fortitude," said Sandeman.
"It has been very exciting to set this record
in Barbados and on a course which has meant so much to me
since I was a child. I'd also like to thank the golf community
in Barbados for so generously supporting me and the Sandy
Lane Charitable Trust."
" Sandy
Lane
and the Country Club Course were very pleased
to be a part of Mr. Sandeman's World Record for the Most
Birdies in 12 Hours
," said Sandy Lane General Manager
Robert Logan. "But most importantly, we are thrilled that
he chose to use this opportunity to give back to the children
of Barbados through Sunshine Village."
Sandeman, a pro golfer who now resides in
Barbados, first played Sandy Lane's course at age 10. While
he did not play competitive golf from 2006 to the beginning
of 2009 due to a hand injury, he realized in March 2009 that
there was no previous record for "The Most Birdies in a Day"
and sent a proposal into Guinness World Records to recommend
the new category.
Sandeman dedicated the end of 2009 to training
for the feat.
Golf officials from the Barbados Golf Association
were on hand during his 12-hour session, as was a cameraman
to record his achievement.
Offering 45 holes, Sandy
Lane
's Country Club and Green Monkey courses were
designed by Tom Fazio.
