The Golf.Com World Amateur Championship is underway throughout the week at numerous Grand Strand golf courses. Over 3,000 golfers are competing this week including a 64 year old amateur golfer from Dallas named Richard Lewis. Lewis set a world record last year by playing 611 rounds of golf. Amazingly, he played every single round without using a cart. As Mark Haggard pointed out in his feature, it is ironic that Lewis is not allowed to walk during his stay on the Grand Strand.
Here is USA Today's article on the mark that made the Guinness Book of World Records:
