A Golfer Set a New World Record by Hitting a 300-Yard Drive . . . and Landed It in a Moving Car

 

The marketing department for Mercedes-Benz just set a weird record to get us all excited about the new SLS AMG Roadster . . . which is a convertible and costs about $200,000.

 

 

--They got a British golfer named Jake Shepherd to drive golf balls down a runway . . . while a race car driver tried to catch them at 120 miles an hour.

 

 

--They managed to do it on a drive that went 300 yards, which makes it the new Guinness World Record for farthest golf shot caught by a moving car.

 

 

(--Search for "Golf Ball vs. Mercedes-Benz Roadster."  The successful attempt starts at 1:09, and he catches it at 1:19.)
