<\/a><\/p>\nPenrith golfer Matt Newton has successfully broken the Guinness World Record for the most holes of golf played in 24 hours, completing an astonishing 810 holes at X-Golf Penrith over the weekend.<\/p>\n
Matt surpassed the previous official record of 756 holes (equivalent to 42 complete 18-hole courses) and retired his clubs triumphantly after just 22 hours of continuous swinging.<\/p>\n
The marathon effort was held as part of X-Golf Australia\u2019s annual Starlight Swing charity month, a nationwide campaign dedicated to granting life-changing wishes for seriously ill children through the Starlight Children\u2019s Foundation.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen you see what Starlight does\u2014the happiness they bring to kids doing it tough\u2014it hits you,\u201d Matt commented. \u201cThis is a cause very close to our hearts, so every swing and every blister was worth it!\u201d<\/p>\n

Matt\u2019s attempt, held at X-Golf Penrith (55-61 York Road), was kept energized by the lively support of the western Sydney community. X-Golf\u2019s Peter Nolan, who knows firsthand the value of such support following his own chemotherapy for Hodgkin\u2019s Lymphoma in 2014, praised the effort.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s truly rewarding to see our team\u2019s dedication to making an impact like this. Matt\u2019s feat goes right to the heart of what X-Golf stands for\u2014community, courage and making a change,\u201d Nolan stated.<\/p>\n
The X-Golf community has so far raised over $3,000 towards the $37,500 goal, and Matt is calling on local businesses and the community to continue supporting the Starlight Swing fundraiser following his record-breaking achievement.<\/p>\n
