Guinness Book of World Records

Tomorrow Richard Lewis, one our members at the Four Seasons Resort and Club, will do something that no one else has ever done in golf.  He will have completed his 587th round of golf in 2010!  The Guinness Book of World Record is 586 rounds.  What makes this feat even more mind boggling is that he WALKED every one of those rounds.  The old record was set by someone riding in a cart. 
Richard has endured one of the worst winters in Dallas history as well as one of the hottest summers.  Sometimes playing up to 54 holes in a day, he's lost approximately 35 pounds.  Keeping score on every round, his handicap has fluctuated between a 3 and 8.  He's currently a 7. 
He's not stopping at 587.  Next week the 64 year old Lewis plans to play his 600th round.  His feat is a testament to literally putting your mind to doing something and then going ahead with it.  Richard Lewis, my hat's off to you.  You are truly a incredible human being!!
