VIDEO: Guy catches record number of wedge shots with baseball glove

FOLLOW: iHEART | TUNEIN


It seems practically anything can be considered a Guinness World Record, including, apparently, using a baseball glove to catch wedges hit from a set distance.

Lukas Korff recently tried to break a new Guinness World Record for catching the most golf balls hit toward him from a distance of 100 meters. Korff had a minute to do it.

Spoiler Alert: Korff gets there, catching seven of nine wedges hit to him to set the record. He gets off to a great start, catching the first four before misjudging the distance on the fifth shot. He then gets three more before the last ball, which goes long of the green. Korff impressively goes backwards into a bunker, remains standing and nearly catches the ball.

Congrats?
