Alex Meyers from Golf Digest actually went to Ridgefield, CT to play a round with Barry in mid-September. We are not sure how he first heard of the record breaking, but being a golfer he was instantly interested. The Ridgefield Golf Course helped me set up a round from London, because reaching Barry just doesn’t happen.
Barry had torn something in his rib/underarm that made his swing difficult, so he doesn’t like the tee shot captured in the video. He was using the “stress method” for injuries; Just keep stressing the area until it starts to feel better… usually within a month, or a hundred rounds, whichever comes first.
Thanks to Alex Meyers for not being too blatant about saying how crazy Barry is!!!
