These guys are incredible, even if you are not into golf, I am sure you will enjoy watching this. 
From You Tube:
Watch Formula 1™ legend David Coulthard and pro-golfer Jake Shepherd set a new world record – farthest golf shot caught in a moving car – with the help of the Mercedes–Benz SLS AMG Roadster. The car caught the ball 275 metres away from the tee.
The video below is a behind the scenes look at how they managed to achieve this, the stunt was verified by Guinness World Records.

Hi viveka,
Oh yes I agree, but they had a lot of fun.
Thanks!! I sent this to my Son a total car nut…and to my husband’s cousin…a total golf nut
Hi zannyro,
Sounds like they both will enjoy the videos. Thank You for passing on the post.
Regardless of their age, boys will be boys will be boys
Hi Laurie,
That is so very true.
Although some want to use this to jab men as if women would never do anything crazy or stupid, this was a good one. Of course, it begs to answer the question “WHY?” with “Because they can.” Good find Mags.
Hi Frank,
The guys put a lot of work into this and they did achieve there goal and they got the record. I am still amazed at how this was done.
It reminded me of my little labradoddle chasing a tennis ball. Except she’s cuter.
Hi Ronnie,
Oh yes much cuter.
So funny!
Hi Naomi,
It is fun to watch.
That was pretty cool to watch! Must have taken some practice!
Hi Michael,
I should imagine it would of taken a lot of practise to get this one right.
I have to go with Frank. Definitely a Because They Can kind of thing.
Doesn’t take away from it looking like a lot of fun though!
Hi El Guapo,
I think it would of been very hard to get this right, but good on them.
i am not a golf fan but this was amazing…brilliant shots
Hi Soma,
I’m don’t play golf either, but a car catching a golf ball is just unreal.
And a new sport is born! HA! I’ll have to show this to 37. He’ll get a big kick out of it!
Hi Linda,
It is just amazing how they did this, it would of taken a bit I feel to get it altogether.
I hope he enjoys the video.
Hi mags, second video is very good, capturing all, fun to watch.
Hi Indira,
I’m glad you enjoyed it.
Just amazing how they were able to catch the ball.
Yes Boys and their toys… I love it… I’m a boy at heart… just to old to attempt such things…
Hi bulldogsturf,
I thought the guys did a fantastic job working out how to this, and I’m sure they enjoyed every minute of it.
That I did… very good…
Awesome! Quite a catch
Hi tempo,
It was unbelievable to watch wasn’t it, just amazing how they did this.
At first I thought, ho hum. But when I watched the video, I realized how very impossible this was. Great job as always sharing the unique. Thanks
Hi Barb,
It is amazing to watch, I just couldn’t believe it when I saw the car catching the golf ball.
What an amazing stunt. It’s just so cool how they did the whole thing. I’m not a golf fan but today you made me one. Thanks.
Hi island traveler,
I also found it amazing when I first saw it, I just couldn’t believe the car caught the golf ball, it’s great that they got the world record for their effort.
It’s wonderful Mags. Perfect post to start my day.
Thank you for sharing this wonderful video.
Hi Arindam,
That’s great, I’m glad you enjoyed the videos.
It’s nearly bed time here.
That was pretty damn awesome
Hi poetryofamadman,
I totally agree.
Thank You for visiting and taking the time to comment.
Incredible! I love their smiles. They were having such fun there.
Hi adinparadise,
Oh I agree, you could tell they were really enjoying themselves, good on them.
I never want to watch golf but if it were anything like this, I think I definitely would =D
I hope you have a great weekend, my friend!!!!
Hi The Squishy Monster,
It really is a different type of golf.
You also have a great weekend.
I could not find your contact info (overlooked it?), so I will tell you here.
You have been nominated for an award. It will be on my post tomorrow.
Scott
Hi Scott,
Thank You very much, I am honored.
You are welcome. It is well-deserved.
Scott
I bet DC wouldn’t be game to try that in his own car!
Mind you, if the ball had gone through the windscreen, they could have made the video into a commercial for Autoglass!
Hi travelrat,
Oh yes it would of been a great commercial for Autoglass.
Great video clip mate , never seen this before but its a great piece of ingenuity
Thanks for sharing, off to check out your weekend jokes my friend
Cheers
Emu
Hi The Emu,
I agree, it is great, who could believe that this was even possible.
Has anybody else noticed that most of the weird stuff that Mags posts on her blog is done by men? Women seem to be generally more intelligent. Or busy running the country or something.
Hi Lady Marilyn,
It’s not all weird, only some of it.
The mermaid was a lady, so that was at least one post, but you may have a point.
I did say “most of the weird stuff”, not all of it, and I didn’t mean that everything that you post is weird. I phrased it very carefully. I knew that we had one female or two in there somewhere – the exception that proves the rule.
Awesome video Mags
Forwarding to some of our golf crazy friends!
Hi Madhu,
Glad you enjoyed it, just amazing how it was done, who would of thought such a thing was possible.
I hope your friends enjoy the video as well.
Obviously this is not easy and takes much precision. It’s amazing!
Hi Fergiemoto,
A lot of practise, but good on them for working it out.
I would say they tried this a zillion times before getting it right.
WOAH. AMAAAAAZZZZZIIING. I Love it!!!
Hi Selma,
Just incredible to think that this could be done at all at those speeds.
Absolutely genius … I aspire to greater golfing things having seen this. Brilliant!! If I hadn’t already had 3 glasses of chilled Pinot, I would be in my car and making my way to the Heathrow right now to try this on their runway.
Hi Golfmadchick,
It was all done very well, I agree, it would be a lot of laughs to give this a go.
