Is the world's longest golf hole in Michigan another WWII victory?

Golfing Michiganer had a nice find when he saw that Joe Gibbs, owner of Chocolay Down Golf Course in Marquette, Mich., is setting to build the world’s largest golf hole – a par 6 that will measure 1,007 yards, plus have room to grow should anyone challenge the record.

The previous longest hole is in Sano, Japan, which apparently sent Gibbs off on some type of delayed patriotic spree.

“I don’t mean to start World War III over this, but the World War II veterans like the fact that we’re beating the Japs again,” said Gibbs, whose course is set to open next spring. “It’s going to make a nice amount of publicity for America. This is America! We beat’em once, and we’ll beat ‘em again.”
