100 holes…1 day…unbelievable fun!
It’s 100 holes of golf in 1 day and it can be a grueling task. It can also be one of the most rewarding days you’ll ever experience. It all starts with Breakfast before sunrise and ends with a fantastic dinner when you are finished. You are welcome to bring a Caddy for the day. Caddies can help raise pledges, drive the cart, tend the pin, but most of all keep you company as you make your way towards your goal of 100 holes. Not everyone will make it all 100 holes, but most will, and even though the muscles might be aching, the sense of accomplishment will make it all worthwhile. Not to mention, your efforts will have helped raise much needed money for your favorite charity!
There will also be prizes given to the top pledge gatherers and to the winners of the many on-course events!
There is no entry fee, but participants are encouraged to kick-off their pledge gathering success by sponsoring themselves for a minimum of $1 per hole. Participants are asked to set a pledge gathering goal of a minimum of $25 per hole. Sponsors can pledge any amount and it can be on a per hole basis or just a flat pledge. You will have your own “Player/Caddie/Participant” page that will tell your story of why you are participating in the event. Your page will include tools to help you raise pledges, allow you to enter your pledges online and track your progress towards your goal.
All of your meals and snacks for the day are FREE of charge, just bring your excitement and a good friend to caddy. You will also be provided with plenty of golf balls…just in case. Take on the challenge and register to play!
To register, click here and you will be directed to a search page to find the event you will be participating in. Once you are registered, your personal page will be created for you and you can begin gathering pledges.
