The Fighting Hunger Games is a “longest day of golf event” in which 36 golf warriors will each play 100 holes of golf in one day. Each participant will have their own cart. There will be 18 twosomes teeing off in a shotgun format at 7:00 AM. Based on our history with this event, it will take 9-10 hours to complete in ideal weather conditions.
Format

Format

There will be one, two-person team per hole. The idea is to play “hurry-up” golf, so hit away when ready. Three-foot gimmies will help speed up play. Golfers will play 5 complete rounds plus 10 holes. Let faster players play through. Don’t spend any time looking for lost balls.

Weather

We play, rain or shine.

Opponent

The elements and sunset.
