If You Are Into Golf,

and you want the ultimate bragging rights,

how about a completed card for a Nullarbor Links Certificate for playing “the World’s Longest Golf course” so how long is a golf course? I googled the answer and it was 'A regulation 18-hole golf course should be between 6,200 and 7,000 yards', and the Nullarbor Links? it is an 8-hole par-72 golf course that stretches along the Eyre Highway, from Kalgoorlie in Western Australia to Ceduna in South Australia, a huge 1,365 kilometres! so how did this happen? photograph Nullabor Links/Facebook, apparently legend has it that the course was created to give truck drivers something to do on this remote stretch of road, but according to several sources, it was just a wacky idea born over a few bottles of wine between two golf enthusiasts looking for a way to keep tourists along Eyre Highway in the area for longer. Their concept, to create the world’s longest golf course proved a huge hit, one that continues to grow in popularity, 

driving 1,365 kilometres along the Australian coast gives players the opportunity to experience Australian culture and attractions, and for many the competition alone is worth the time an effort, “We have receipts for about 17,000 that have actually paid to play by getting a scorecard, but we know and understand from feedback from the roadhouses that almost the same amount play but don’t pay,” Alf Caputo, manager of Nullabor Links, said, the average distance between holes is 66 kilometres, and the longest distance between two consecutive holes is about 200 kilometres, those who want bragging rights, can buy a a score card purchased in Kalgoorlie or Ceduna, and as mentioned above after presenting the a completed card you can claim a Nullarbor Links Certificate for playing “the World’s Longest Golf course” the video is nearly 20 minutes long, so a mug of coffee is a must, as for golf, I think I will just walk the course! unfortunately, because of the Covid19 pandemic, the border between Western and Southern Australia is closed, so the Nullabor Links course cannot be completed, however, management hopes to reopen the world’s longest golf course “as soon as possible”.
