Nineteenth Hole

Fastest, Slowest, Longest and Fewest

Slowest Putter
According to Golf Magazine Bernhard langer is the slowest player in on the pro tour, with an average of 90 seconds per putt. So if you plan to play a round with Bernhard, count on adding almost an hour watching Bernhard Putt - assuming only two putts per green.

To quote Lanny Wadkins, who has been noted to play some of the fastest rounds on the Tour, "I've seen Turtles move faster than Bernhard">

Fastest Putter
So Bernhard is the slowest, who is the fastest? Well, John Daly steps up and putts in an average of 20 seconds.

Longest Ace
In required a downhill hole plus a major tailwind, but Bob Mitera recorded an ace a 444 yard hole at the Miracle Hill Country Club in Omaha, Nebraska in 1995.

Longest Double Eagle
Naval Officer Kevin Murray made a double-eagle on the 647 yard second hole at the Guam Navy golf Club in 1982.

Fewest Putts
Richard Stanwood (in 1976) and Ed Drysdale (in 1985) both share the record with 15 putts on an 18 hole course.
