A team of four disc golfers has achieved an impressive World Records title by completing a disc golf hole in just 44.31 seconds, following dozens of unsuccessful attempts.
Record-breaking enthusiast David Rush, who has achieved more than 200 World Records titles, teamed up with his friend Travis Davidson and Davidson’s sons, Anders and Oliver, to attempt the record for the fastest hole of disc golf by a team of four.
Under World Records guidelines, the disc golf hole used for the attempt was required to measure at least 200 metres. The team therefore selected a suitable PDGA-certified hole at Mallard Park in Idaho. Success did not come easily. The foursome made dozens of attempts throughout the day, with various efforts falling short of the required performance.
Finally, on their 60th attempt, everything came together. Rush began with a strong opening drive before Travis followed with another effective throw. Oliver continued moving the disc toward the target, while Anders delivered a crucial throw that placed it close to the basket. Rush then sprinted uphill to retrieve the disc and successfully put it into the basket, completing the hole in a remarkable 44.31 seconds.
The achievement required more than throwing accuracy. Each member needed to be positioned strategically along the course so that the disc could move quickly from one player to another. Speed, coordination, accurate throws and precise timing were all essential to completing the 200-metre-plus hole within record time.
After 59 unsuccessful attempts, the team’s persistence was finally rewarded when their 60th run produced the record-breaking performance.The accomplishment adds another World Records title to David Rush’s extensive collection while also highlighting the teamwork of Travis, Anders and Oliver Davidson. Their 44.31-second disc golf hole demonstrates how persistence, coordination and athletic ability can combine to turn repeated failures into a world record achievement.
