About Golf Marrowthon
It's a winning combination! Practise your swing with our 100 Hole Challenge and help us support the care and cure of patients living with these life-changing diseases. The 100 Hole Challenge is actually very achievable as the players have proved in our previous Golf Marrowthon events. You will have a lot of fun and be proud to become a member of the exclusive, elusive and elite '100 Hole Club'. To get around the course and play 100 holes, golfers use a golf cart or cruiser. Special speed rules apply to facilitate play, such as multiple balls being hit on certain holes. Fundraising The Marrowthon golfers raise funds by receiving pledges from sponsors to complete 100 holes in a single day. The golfers aim to raise at least $2,500 each in sponsorship. They can do this through our website by setting up their own fundraising web page and seeking donations online. All the money raised through pledges and sponsorship is passed directly to the LBF. Due to the efforts of every player and the support of our generous sponsors and volunteers, we know that we will all make a real difference to patients and families living with blood and bone marrow cancers. The LBF funds are used to provide personalised patient support programmes, education and information, and fund advocacy, awareness and research. Register Following the inaugural Marrowthon in February 2005, our 100 Hole Golf Marrowthon challenge is now an ongoing, annual event.
