A band of cheeky mini golfers believe they have beaten the world record for the most people playing the sport completely naked.

A group of 47 men and women shed their clothes and had a crack at a 36-par course in Sydney on Sunday, smashing the previous record of 30.

Teed up by the Young Nudists of Australia, the event was held away from the public gaze in a bid to challenge the stereotype that nudists are old and grey.

The event was organised by the Young Nudists of Australia to challenge the stereotype that all nudists are old and grey

And their daring effort is now being submitted to official Guinness World Record adjudicators in the hope of becoming official.

Organiser Matt, 32, would only reveal his first name but said the game had 'challenged stereotypes'.

'I think the older, beach style events are tacky and worn,' he said. 'But my generation responds to social media driven, gimmicky events like this.'

'The atmosphere was very jovial, there was lots of cheering and psych-out's. The course was pretty magnificent too.'

Matt, an organizer of the event, said the group wanted to 'challenge stereotypes' and do away with the 'older, beach style events'

Attendees were aged between 18 and 40 and were 70 per cent male and 30 per cent female

Staring and unsolicited cameras were forbidden at the world record attempt, while towels were compulsory for hygenic reasons

Media worker Matt, from Sydney, said attendees were aged between 18 and 40 and were 70 per cent male and 30 per cent female.

Staring and unsolicited cameras were forbidden at the world record attempt, while towels were compulsory for hygenic reasons.

Matt said he was initially drawn to the sense of freedom from nudism, but that it later become a thread in his social life.

'I was always drawn to the sense of freedom,' Matt said. 'It's very liberating. You learn to embrace yourself and be more comfortable in your body.'

But the nudists were clearly having a grand old time sans threads, happily posing for the camera with some well-placed props

Matt said he was initially drawn to the sense of freedom from nudism and revealed it helped him overcome body image issues

'Some people who get involved have body image issues, and it's a great way to overcome that.'

'That's certainly something I have gotten out of it – but it's also a great way to meet new people.'

But Matt still believes Australia has a long way to go when it comes to getting starkers.

'They call Australia the laidback country, but we can actually be quite prudish. I'm not sure nudism will ever be mainstream here.'
