Like plenty of avid golfers Steven Dashevsky had always dreamt of playing golf around the world, taking on some of the best courses and seeing some spectacular sights. Then, when he hit 50, he took things to an altogether different level when his competitive nature took over. Along with his good friend and professional, Nick Solski, he had the idea of eclipsing the world record to play a round of golf on six continents.
"Unless you are competing seriously, you are just hitting the ball around and you are just a tourist. Whereas here it was the only feasible golf-related sporting record that I could reasonably beat while achieving my dream of going around the world and doing something that nobody else has done," explained the financier Dashevsky, who was born in Kharkov in Ukraine and now resides in London.
