72 Holes, Four Ladies, One Big Reason! 💛⛳

The Long Haul Hackers Take on The Longest Day

72 holes. 4 rounds of golf. 1 very long day. And a cause that’s worth every single step!

Some people like to spend their days relaxing, putting their feet up and enjoying a quiet cuppa.

Not us!

We’ve decided that playing 18 holes of golf just isn’t enough. So, we’re taking on a whopping 72 holes in one day as part of the Cancer Council’s Longest Day Golf Challenge!

And just like that, the Long Haul Hackers were born!

Why Are We Doing This?

Cancer is something that has touched far too many lives. Whether it’s a family member, a friend, a workmate or someone from our golfing community, we all know someone whose world has been turned upside down by those six little letters.

We’ve seen the heartbreak, the courage, the determination and the incredible strength of people facing cancer.

And while we can’t take away their battles, we can do something to help.

That’s why we’re putting our golf clubs, our feet and probably our sanity to the test to raise much-needed funds for the Cancer Council.

Every dollar raised helps support cancer research, prevention programs and services for people affected by cancer.

Four Rounds of Golf… What Could Possibly Go Wrong?

Now, anyone who plays golf knows that 18 holes can be challenging enough.

There are the brilliant shots that make you feel like a professional, the putts that somehow miss from 30 centimetres, and those golf balls that mysteriously disappear into places they have absolutely no business being!

Now multiply all of that by FOUR!

We’re expecting plenty of laughs, a few questionable golf shots, some very tired legs and possibly a little bit of colourful language by the final round!

By hole 54, we may be questioning our life choices.

And by hole 72, we may need someone to carry us back to the clubhouse!

But through it all, we’ll be reminding ourselves why we’re doing this.

Because no matter how tough our day gets, it doesn’t compare to the challenges faced by people battling cancer.

It’s About More Than Golf

For us, this challenge is about friendship, teamwork, community and making a difference.

It’s about four ladies coming together, supporting each other and doing something extraordinary for a cause that matters.

There will be aching muscles, tired feet and probably a few moments when we wonder what on earth we signed up for.

But there will also be laughter, encouragement, determination and hopefully a wonderful sense of achievement when that final putt drops.

And if we can raise some money, spread awareness and have a few laughs along the way, then every single hole will be worth it.

How Can You Help?

You don’t need to play 72 holes to make a difference!

You can support the Long Haul Hackers by making a donation, buying a raffle ticket, sharing our fundraising efforts or simply cheering us on.

No donation is too small, and every bit of support means the world to us.

We know times are tough for many people, so even sharing our story is a wonderful way to help.

The Countdown Is On!

The clubs are ready, the determination is there, and the excitement is building.

Are we prepared for 72 holes?

Absolutely!

Will we still be saying that after 50 holes?

We’ll get back to you on that one! 😂

One thing is certain: we’re going to give this challenge everything we’ve got.

72 holes. Four ladies. One team. One very important cause.

Together, we can help make a difference, one swing at a time.

Wish us luck! We’re going to need it! 💛⛳

Playing for those we’ve lost, supporting those still fighting, and hoping for a future where cancer no longer steals the people we love
