Macmillan Longest Day Golf Challenge

[Holty]

Just stumbled upon this - a longest day golf challenge - 72 holes in one day.

I'm going to try and get a team together for this, and wanted to share the link in case anyone else wanted to do similar.

Think a fair few here do it/have done it. I would like to give it a crack one year, where i live i reckon we could play 4 different courses in a day too! Good luck to anyone doing it this year!!

I'm doing it. Logistics all sorted, just the small matter of raising a respectable sum for the cause.

Which 4 courses you playing?

Have you set up a just giving page?

I'm thinking about doing it. Do you have to pay to enter?

I think it's team of 4 and you commit to raise £250 + in sponsorship.

We are playing our home course four times with a 4:30am start. I think for the extra challenge we're playing from the back tees adding 2000 playing yards to our day (6529 yards per round), although this is TBC.

Not sure when we go live with the fundraising bit. If people would like to donate I can post up the JustGiving page when it is ready.

As I'm not a member of a club and therefore will have to pay green fees I don't think I'd be able to afford it. Shame as I could easily get at least £750 from sponsers.

 

[Big_Rick78]

And only one if the local clubs I've rang have heard of it. And they want £100 for the day!!

I'm sponsoring my Lady Captain on this

Big_Rick - I'm taking part in this and we are not members of clubs....we have gone to a selected club and they have done us a great deal and are even supplying stuff for us....Speak to them first

 

[glynntaylor]

Rick - You defo want to speak to the club.....Where we are playing there letting us play all four rounds for free....

 

[Big_Rick78]

Managed to find somewhere that will do it for £22 each for the day.

Anyone think GM should get involved, maybe invite 4 or 8 forum members to a top course for the day.

Done it last year.

Played 4 different courses ardeer,irvine bogside,west kilbride and largs.

Teed off at 5 am and finished around 9pm.

Reckon i would do it again. I also went to work the next day lol

We never played 3 off the tee etc we just dropped a ball up there to keep things moving

Anyone in the south (Southampton to Brighton) fancy doing this? The guys I've been trying to talk into it aren't up for it :-(
