Amazing golf shot

A Guinness World Record for the farthest golf shot caught in a moving car was set by the former Formula One driver David Coulthard and professional golfer Jake Shepherd. Shepherd hit a golf ball at 178mph into the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Roadster, which was moving at a speed of 120mph when it caught the ball 275 meters away from the tee. The extraordinary film shows the exact moment when David Coulthard caught the speeding golf ball between the seats of the SLS AMG Roadster. The amazing feat was not only caught on camera, but also independently verified by a Guinness World Record adjudicator who confirmed the unbelievable achievement secured the title of farthest golf shot caught in a moving car.
