59 分钟Hello and welcome to another episode of No Such Thing as a Fish,
a weekly podcast coming to you from four undisclosed locations in the UK.
My name is Dan Schreiber, I am sitting here with James Harkin,
Anna Tyshinski and Andrew Hunter Murray and once again we have gathered round the microphones with our four favourite facts from the last seven days and in no particular order,
here we go.
Starting with fact number one, and that's my fact this week,
my fact is that the world's longest golf putt took 26 seconds for the ball to reach the hole.
In that time, it covered a distance of over nine miles.
So Dan,
I've just done some calculations just before we came on and I reckon that means they must have hit the ball at about just over 1200 miles per hour.
And is that good James?
Well I've just been watching the open just before we came on as well and Bryson Deshambeau who most people think hits it the hardest and fastest of anyone can hit it at a maximum of 140 miles an hour,
so what the fuck's going on?
Okay, so yes, you are correct in your calculation but incorrect in how this record was set.
This was set aboard Concorde.
Oh, come on.
Yeah, so.
Cheat.
It is a cheat.
I was talking to our good buddy Jason Haseley and this came up in conversation.
