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!
