WGN's John Williams Attempts World Record


WGN/Chicago's midday guy, John Williams will attempt to break the world record for the fastest round of golf this Saturday. Dubbing the event "King John & His Royal Court's Speed Golf World Record Challenge," Williams has assembled a team of around 100 listeners to help with the attempt, which will play out in a speed golf relay format.

Golfers will be assigned locations along the course based upon their best club and will hit the ball to each other in progression. The current record is 7 minutes, 56 seconds. Williams joked, "It's not just a world record we're going after. It's a stupid world record, so that's a natural for us. I think of this more as an excuse to have a beer by 9 a.m."
