How the challenge works

Planning your day

Recruit a team|

You need three or four players to qualify for the prizes, although single golfers and pairs can also take part. Remember to choose people you get on well with – you will have to spend all day together!

Register

Make sure your form contains a captain name, additional player names and a team name along with contact details. Once you've signed up, we'll send you your guidelines for the ultimate day of golf, a scorecard, sponsorship forms - in short, everything you need to make your day one to remember.

Choose a date 

Pick a date for your event carefully. The light should be good enough from mid May until late August, but we recommend June or July. Remember the official longest day this is Thursday 21 June 2012. 

Book your golf session 

Contact your local club and book your tee times. Why not really go to town and play four different courses? And don't forget to mention that you're raising money for Macmillan. Your club might reduce their green fees, or throw in a free bacon butty! 

Set up an online sponsorship page 

Justgiving.com lets friends and colleagues sponsor you from anywhere in the world. The money will go straight into our account without you having to chase anyone up for donations. Set up your page on the Longest Day Golf Justgiving page|.  

Spread the word 

It sounds obvious, but ask everyone you know to sponsor you or help out on the day. Also, encourage all the golfers you know to follow your shining example and enter a team.

Scoring

• Calculate your best two Stableford scores per hole (including full handicap allowance). Then work out your final score for each of your four rounds.
• Complete your team scorecard including your team name, captain's name, reference number, scores for each of your four rounds and the total amount of sponsorship you have raised (Your scores will be combined with your fundraising total to calculate your final total).
• Send your scores and sponsorship money to us pronto. We must receive them by Monday 3 September 2012 in order for you to qualify for prizes.

Thank you to our sponsors
