About Golf Marathon
Fundraising Process
Golfers fundraise on behalf of Greek InterVarsity while playing 100 holes in roughly 10 hours of golf. These golfers are the heros of the day, with many fundraising over $50 per hole ($5,000 total) toward Greek InterVarsity’s mission. Upon registering, golfers begin fundraising through their own networks, sharing why they’re participating and how others can help by sponsoring them. Each golfer has their own donation account set up through InterVarsity and a direct link so they can share it easily.
Funding Goals
At the start of the fundraising sprint, each Golfer sets a goal of how many scholarships they want to raise for Greek Conference.

Event Information
Playing 100 Holes
It takes more than skill to complete 100 holes in one day – a steady pace is essential to keeping everyone on track to completing the event in one day! That’s 5 1/2 rounds, each with various challenges and play styles. Volunteers and caddies will encourage your pace throughout the day and will also provide snacks, beverages, and your lunch for the day on the course so that you don’t need to slow down.
Golf Marathon Schedule
The event will begin at 7:00 AM and will continue until around sundown, culminating in an awards banquet. Breakfast, lunch and snacks are provided throughout the day.

Rounds of Play
Each team will begin on a different hole to start the event. From there, each team will play however many holes necessary to get back to Hole #1. After completing these holes using normal rules, the following rounds will feature both standard event formats like best ball and scramble and unique rounds that will be revealed the day of the event!
Competition
While aiming for a low score is always important, prizes will be awarded in multiple categories - top fundraisers, low scores, and other fun challenges on the course. And you’ll be paired up with a Greek InterVarsity campus, so not only can you win prizes for yourself, but you can win scholarship money for your campus to help get students to Greek Conference!
