The challenge is to successfully complete a golf marathon - four rounds of golf, or 72 holes - in one day to raise funds for New Zealanders facing cancer. 72 sound like too much? Try our new two-round 'half marathon' option, that's 36 holes.
You choose the day, the course, and the team - or play solo if you prefer. The longest day of the year is Saturday 21 December 2024, but you can play any day in December or January that suits you.
