THE WORLD'S FASTEST GOLFER DAVID 'OGIE' OGRON SHATTERS THE GUINNESS WORLD RECORD ON CHINA CENTRAL TELEVISION
David "Ogie" Ogron, The World's Fastest Golfer, who previously broke world records on Late Night with David Letterman and CBS's The Early Show, was awarded a gold metal and will be listed in the 2008 Guinness Book of World Records for hitting 143 golf balls, in one-minute and 47 seconds, during his live performance on China Central Television, in Beijing, on December 21, 2006.
Ogie travels the globe, breaking world records for charity. Others have tried to beat his record, including pro golfer Brad Faxon, NBA athlete John Salley, NFL quarterback Carson Palmer and St. Louis Cardinals' Mark McGwire - Ogie remains undefeated.
He will soon set out on a tour with the Guinness World Records Primetime TV Show, breaking his records around the world. Also in his schedule, he is heading to the Las Vegas Motor Speedway to perform at the UAW-NASCAR Daimler Chrysler 400, on March 12, 2007.
Ogie is the only person in history to hold two Guinness World Records and four World Records in ball-striking at the same time, including the most golf balls hit in one-minute, one-hour and 24-hours. He has established the Miracle Golf Tour, in the pursuit of hitting 1 million golf balls for various charities. His tour is a tribute to his father, who passed away from cancer. Ogie has since worked in conjunction with various National charities.
Together with his partner Scott "Speedy" McKinney, Ogie has had hundreds of appearances over the past 4 years, gathering support worldwide. In May 2006, Ogie performed on Late Night with David Letterman, reaching millions of viewers as he set the record for the most golf balls hit in a 30-minute span (1,064).
Two weeks later, Ogie had his second performance on CBS's The Early Show, shattering his record from 83 to 94 balls hit in one-minute. He is scheduled for a third appearance on CBS's The Early Show in June 2007.
