Martin Furlong was awarded the Druids Glen Irish Independent Golf Personality for the month of June in 2002. Martin received the reward for completing 217 holes of golf in an incredible 24-houres on his home course.
On the 27th of May 2001, Martin Furlong played a 130-hole marathon around Castle Barna he said "I wanted to set a record here and to earn a few bob for the Offaly Hospice," to my way of thinking there must be an easier way of doing it. Martin is 60-years of age and playing off 15 walked every hole and completed his marathon in 16 hours and 25 minutes. The amazing thing is he "only" set out to play 100-holes. Well, done Martin.

91 years young Paddy Mulldowney had a hole-in-one on the 158 m "Castle" 5th, index 8, in the Millennium year. Maybe there is hope for the rest of us who have never had one!
