They might not be playing the full 18 holes but how many days do you think you could play 18 holes in a row ?

Golfweek recently featured Ken Norton who played golf every day for a year, he actually enjoyed it so much he played 600 rounds in 365 days!

Shuionland China Golf Challenge

The Shuionland China Golf Challenge started on the 10th October and is a 7 day, 7 city, 8 course challenge taking place between Liang Wenchong, Lee Westwood, Rory McIlroy and Ian Poulter but with only a few holes played at each course.

Poulter had led after day 2 and the first 4 holes at 1 under with Wenchong and Westwood 1 shot behind on level par.

McIlroy was 4 over having found the water on both holes on the opening day.

Things didn't get much better for McIlroy on day 3 carding a triple bogey on day 3 to be 6 over after 8 holes.

At the end of day 3 Liang Wenchong currently leads by 1 having played 2 holes at both Topwin Golf & Country Club & Jade Island International Club. Wenchong holed out for an eagle on the first hole of the day to move one ahead of Poulter and cancel out his overnight lead.

Despite finding water on the 2nd hole of the day and carding a bogey to drop a shot Poulter ensured a birdied in the final hole of the day on the par 3 at Jade Island to finish 1 under and 1 shot behind local hero Wenchong. Lee Westwood is 3 shots back at +1.

Day 4 sees the players travel to Red Flag Valley.
