What is the world record for hitting a golf ball?

The Longest televised putt in history is by short-game wizard Dave Pelz at Whistling Straits in the run-up to the 2004 PGA Championship. It was just over than 70 yards long.

In 1981, Wogan set the world record for the longest successful Golf putt ever televised, which was 33 yards (30.2m) at the Gleneagles golf course in a pro-celebrity TV programme on the BBC.
