There was a slowdown of sorts, when he had
to follow a men’s retiree league and women’s
walking league, but he finished by 1:30 and
was on the road to Indiana for his final 18 holes.
Markland arrived at the final stop on this golfing
adventure, Cold Springs Resort near Angola,
Indiana, just after 3:00 PM. His brother, Skip
lives in the area and accompanied Pat on his
final 18 holes.
With six hours of sunlight left, his only worry
now was simply running out of energy to
complete the marathon.
Markland said,“54 holes of golf in one day for a
66-year-old is just about the maximum.”
Indeed, even a man half his age would be
feeling the effects of that much golf in one day.
Markland began the day at Tamaron Country
Club at 6:45 AM, he ended his 54-hole, three-
state quest at exactly 6:45 PM.
Twelve hours of golf and travel - that is one for
the record books.
Of the day Markland said,
“Time ended up being the least of my concerns.
There was still plenty of daylight remaining to
play more golf, but my body was telling me I
was through for the day.”
He also was appreciative of the help he received
from all of the golf courses and well-wishers
that helped him complete his dream.
Well Played, Sir!
