fastest round of golf on Saturday.

The contingent, organised by banker Wayne Dill, missed by nearly seven minutes the mark set in California on November 16, 1992, by a group of 35 golfers, who completed two rounds of a nine-hole course in nine minutes 39 seconds.

The band of locals could manage no better than 16 minutes -- the exact time wasn't available yesterday -- when they took to the undulating Ocean View course.
