In a blinding blizzard on a country road a late model sedan crashes through a guardrail and flips an estimated 22 times down a 500-foot embankment landing upside down in a small creek.

Seventeen hours later a woman walking her dog along that road sees the car and phones 911.

Soon a fire truck, a Medic One aid car, and two sheriff cars are dispatched to the scene and begin what they assume is a recovery mission. No one could survive that crash.

Meanwhile, a small crowd of onlookers gathers around the guardrail and watch as two firemen shimmy down the snowy embankment and survey the crashed car lying half submerged in the cold water of the creek.

A tow truck pulls into position to haul the vehicle up and out of the gully. The firemen are at the car checking it out. One fireman shouts to the other, “Hey, we’ve got a body here.” Pinned underneath the car is David “Ogie” Ogron. The firemen check the situation and realize they’ll need to lift the car to get the body out. 

Just as one of the firemen goes to check the pulse on the body, Ogie’s hand moves and his faint voice whispers, “Help me...help me...”.

The fireman leaps up, “He’s alive! Jesus Christ, this guy’s alive! Get the medics down here!” The medics race to Ogie’s side as the firemen hook the tow truck’s wench to the car and begin to lift it up off of Ogie’s shattered body.

He spent two weeks in the hospital recovering from his injuries and hypothermia. When he left the hospital he was flat broke, homeless, addicted to pain killers, and his only mode of transportation were his two feet.

And so he walked ten miles to the nearest Home Depot where, without shame, he shared with the manager his desperate situation, and his mission to set a Guinness World Record.  Somehow his passion and commitment to his mission touched the manager’s heart and Home Depot donated supplies so Ogie could build a shack to live in.

Ogie built that small shack across the street from a golf driving range and lived in that tiny shelter for two years. He made $10 an hour as the maintenance man for the driving range and practiced his marathon golf striking skill day and night. The record he planned to set was the Guinness World Record for the most golf balls hit in a 24-hour period.

In 2005, after two years of training, Ogie called a friend at CBS in Kansas City and explained his mission to be the world’s fastest golfer. She wrote a press release and sent it out over the wires – and the calls started coming in.

The response was heartening. But while the local news began to feature Ogie’s determined story on the evening news and in the local papers, Guinness didn’t accept the event as difficult enough to qualify as one of its world record feats. But Ogie never lost sight of his goal to set the 24-hour Guinness World record and never gave up.

He persisted with the officials at Guinness in London, doing everything in his power to convince them that indeed, hitting golf balls for 24-hours straight was worthy of a Guinness World record.
