Four-person disc-golf team clocks a hole in 44.31 seconds
What happened
UPI’s Odd News filing dated 9 September 2026 reports that David Rush, with teammates Travis Davidson, Anders, and Oliver, claimed a Guinness World Records mark for the fastest hole of disc golf by a team of four: 44.31 seconds. The attempt ran at Mallard Park in Idaho after 60 tries on a PDGA-length hole of at least 200 meters. Humor stays on the timer, the four-person throw chain, and the park badge — not a lifestyle sermon and not a civic speech.
Odd news here is a countable gag with a source URL. Forty-four-point-three-one seconds from tee to basket with four throwers is the whole package. Sixty attempts underlines that the stamp was earned, not lucked into on the first toss. Cartoon athletes only — never portraits of living people. Bright fairway greens and disc oranges. White gutters. Keep politics out of the fairway.
A reclaim-or-new-title board also has clean props: four discs in flight, a stopwatch, a basket chain, and a Mallard Park sign. That is the strip. Readers get the four names, the 44.31-second stamp, the 60-attempt grind, the Idaho park, and the PDGA distance floor of 200 meters or longer. Keep the UPI URL on the page so the receipt travels with the gag.
Why it matters
Guinness-adjacent oddities work when the number is the punchline. A sub-45-second team hole on a regulation-length fairway is the joke with a dated wire behind it. This desk files the timer and the attempt count, skips the sermon, and leaves the comics bright.
Conclusion
Rush, Davidson, Anders, and Oliver finished a PDGA-length disc-golf hole in 44.31 seconds at Mallard Park, Idaho, after 60 attempts, per UPI’s Sept. 9 Odd News. Source: https://www.upi.com/Odd_News/2026/09/09/Guinness-World-Records-David-Rush-disc-golf/8671788975951/
