COFFS Harbour Golf Club’s players have spent a day on the greens for a worthy cause in a true display of golfing stamina.

The club hosted The Longest Day, an all-day golfing event to help raise money for Cancer Council’s research, prevention, and support services.

Players could take part in either The Longest Day (72 holes), The Longer Day (54 holes), or The Long Day (36 holes).

The Longest Day is an endurance golf marathon designed to test your skill, strength, and stamina.

The challenge is to successfully complete your chosen number of holes from dawn to dusk and raise funds for Cancer Council’s research, prevention, and support services.

Coffs Harbour Golf Club’s Brandon Connor was one of the magnificent seven players who took part in The Longest Day of 72 holes and the marathon day of golf.

While many players may not have partaken in 72 holes of golf in one day, it was the club pro’s fifth time he had taken part in The Longest Day, as he gave an insight into how he prepared for the big day of golf.

“I make sure I load up on food, and tape up my heels to stop blisters,” he said.

“We teed off at 5.15am, and it normally takes twelve hours, and you just keep a good steady pace.

“A couple of friends I went to school with are cancer survivors, so it’s the least I can do.”

Jana Rothacker took part in her first Longest Day, an event which was close to her heart.

“Both of my grandmothers had breast cancer, and it’s for such a great cause, and I love playing golf so why not.”

Coffs Harbour Golf Club is one of 217 clubs across Australia to take part in the event which has raised over $2.2 million for the Cancer Council.

The Coffs Harbour Golf Club had raised over $4000 during this year’s Longest Day.
