Longest Day Golf Challenge 2012

Have you got the balls?

The toughest challenge in golf is back. Have you got what it takes to play 72 holes, hit 300 shots and walk 20 miles - all in one day? Take a shot and help people living with cancer at the same time.

In 2011, 335 teams took part in the challenge and more than £393,000 has so far been raised to help people living with cancer in the UK.

Getting involved is easy. All you need to do is organise a team of three or four players, register, decide on a date to play and start raising loads of money for Macmillan.

The draft summer start sheet will be published within the next couple of weeks and it will have allocated times based on last years master start sheet.
