CANBERRA (Reuters) - Plans to build the world's longest golf course, across 1,200 km (750 miles) of treeless desert, received a welcome boost on Wednesday when the Australian government offered seed funding for the venture.

The 18-hole course will stretch along the Eyre Highway which crosses the arid Nullarbor Plain in the south of the continent, with one hole placed in each town along the way, and one at a remote sheep farm.

Doughty golfers who tee off in the Western Australian mining town of Kalgoorlie will end their round in the South Australian south coast town of Ceduna, more than 1,200 km to the east.

Sounds to me like the idea of some LSD and amphetamine induced delusions, after a good suck with the Hoover, and some deep toilet ducking!

How many hours is that going to take in a golf cart?  I'm guessing carts will mandatory.   ;D  You'll need a range at each hole so you can loosen up again before playing it.
