Anup Singh Shatters World Record: Juggles Golf Ball for 12 Kilometers
Anup Singh, a seasoned golfer, and certified coach made history on Tuesday by clinching a remarkable world record at the renowned Karma Lakelands estate in Gurugram. Singh, who boasts a rich history in golf, set an extraordinary benchmark by achieving “the farthest distance travelled while controlling a golf ball.”
In a feat that left spectators in awe, Anup Singh walked a staggering 12,000 meters, equivalent to 12 kilometers, while deftly juggling a golf ball using only a golf club. What makes this achievement even more remarkable is that Singh managed to accomplish this incredible feat without ever dropping the ball. His performance was met with thunderous applause and cheers from the Karma Lakelands estate’s members and officials who were present to witness this historic moment.
Singh’s journey to this world record was a culmination of years of dedication and relentless practice.
