A new world record for the "fastest hole in golf by a team of four" has been broken in spectacular fashion.

France's team of Raphael Jacquelin, Alex Levy, Gregory Havret and Romain Wattel set a new world record of 34.8 seconds.

The challenge, which was taken up by two other teams from Spain and Denmark, requires a team of four to complete the hole from 500 yards in a relay.
