Breaking world records in the game of golf doesn’t have to mean getting the lowest score or hitting the longest drive. To prove that point Jonathan and Cathie Weaver made it their goal to break the world record for most rounds played in a year. Between the dates of April 1st and March 31st the Weaver’s have traveled around North America and have played 18 or 36 holes at each stop. Jonathan, 43 and Cathie, 47 traveled in a 36 foot Winnebago and a trailer for their clubs and belongings for the year and paid for all of their own expenses included all greens fees and travel. The Weavers are not only out to break the world record but also want to give a large donation to the Ronald McDonald House, giving the charity all of their proceeds.

So far the Weavers have collected over $500,000 to donate to Ronald McDonald House which is mostly made up from contributions from golf courses, golf clubs from Warrior Custom Golf, and donations from Karbon Golf a golf shirt manufacturer. The trip is still in progress and the Weavers plan to play 437 rounds, which as of now looks like will surpass the record. They will have played in 12 states and 9 Canadian providences and have traveled in their Winnebago over 36,000 miles.

Jonathan and Cathie are obviously both avid golfers and dreamed about taking this trip when they were retired however with the turn of the economy Cathie lost her job and Jonathan being self employed decided what better time than the present! With over 400 rounds of golf under their belt Cathie a handicap of 16 has scored one hole in one on a course in Alabama. Hopefully before their trip is over, Jonathan will be able to match Cathie accomplishment and score an ace for himself!
