2025 Longest Day of Golf

December & summer is approaching and from a golf point of view, it means one thing to me and my colleagues in the Australian Golf Team – the Longest Day of Golf.

In simple terms, the Longest Day of Golf sees golfers all over Australia playing 36, 54 or 72 holes on a preferred December day to raise funds for Cancer Council prevention programs and bio-medical research for and early detection of skin cancer – a major health issue in Australia and one which is directly relevant to golfers.

Every dollar raised within a State and Territory stays with the respective Cancer Council in that State and Territory. The 2024 Longest Day of Golf raised an impressive $2.5 million through 4000 golfers undertaking the challenge across all parts of Australia.

Our 2025 challenge will be 72-holes at the Frankston Golf Club in South-Eastern Melbourne on Monday 22 December beginning at 6.30am as part of an ‘Australian Golf Team’ created for the day.

I know we all get asked for support to all sorts of different things, but if you're able to donate, we'd naturally be most appreciative. All donations over $2 are tax-deductible.

In 2025, Longest Day challenges will also be recognised when taking place at pitch and putt facilities, mini-golf courses and golf simulator centres. 

All golf is golf and this Longest Day feature meets key themes emerging from the Australian Golf Strategy process, particularly the purpose to ‘inspire & support more Australians to play more golf’.

Regardless of the challenge, the Longest Day encompass all the great things we love about golf - playing our sport and taking on the game’s many skill challenges, spending quality time with family and friends and enjoying the wonderful places to play that golf offers. Plus raising funds for a worthy and relevant cause to golf.

I’ve been doing the Longest Day since 2016 and it’s a lot of fun – best thing I’ve done in golf. 

If you’d like to do the Longest Day and create your own team – it’s easy. Simply visit www.longestday.org.au and follow the steps.

Thanks in consideration and have a great Spring & Summer of Golf in the lead-up to Christmas.
