What is the annual Longest Day Golf Challenge?

“The Longest Day is an endurance golf marathon designed to test your skill, strength and stamina,” the Cancer Council explains.

The challenge is separated into three areas and it is up to the participants to select which area would suit them best.
The Long Day Challenge – Consist of 36 holes (two rounds).
