This will be an incredibly fun event, which will raise some serious bucks for Catalyst Partnerships. It is a way for golfers, both duffer and low handicapper alike, to rally support while doing something they will really enjoy - playing golf. When compared to a traditional golf tournament, golf marathons are more fun and substantially more profitable.

IMPORTANT DATES:
• ANNOUNCEMENT MEETING: Monday, March 7, 7pm. Hosted at Club Sport
• TEE-OFF MEETING: Tuesday, April 5, 7pm. Hosted at Club Sport
• IRONMAN GOLF MARATHON EVENT: Friday, May 20. Charbonneau Golf Club
DETAILS OF THE GAME:
Golfers will play 100 holes. No, we're not kidding. One hundred holes are very doable. Many golfers in past marathons have been able to play more than 100 holes. In fact, the record for a golf marathon is an amazing 409 holes in one day! Several changes in the format of the game are made to speed up the play...
• Every golfer has his own cart, and plays at his own speed.
• Golfers may hit multiple balls on par 3’s, and each ball counts as one hole played.
• We play "ready golf" with a maximum field of 48 golfers.
• No looking for lost balls, OB's etc. Merely drop another ball and keep hitting.
• Whenever your score on a hole reaches double bogey, pick up, score the hole as completed, and move on to the next hole.
• You may play any hole, or series of holes, in any order as many times as you want.
• On the green, any putt inside the leather is a "gimme."
• On Course games (ie Longest Drive and Closest-to-Pin) contests all-day long
WHAT'S IN IT FOR ME?
Besides a lot of fun and the satisfaction of helping Catalyst Partnerships in a big way, you will receive...
• Meals and continuous, nutritious refreshments
• Plenty of golf balls to smack away.
• The opportunity to earn some great prizes, depending on the amount of pledges that you have raised.
• A tax write-off for any donated funds. Catalyst Partnerships is a 501c3 non-profit organization.
• Make a BIG Difference and impact lives for Catalyst Partnerships. For more information please visit our web site catalyst-partnerships.com
OK, WHAT'S THE CATCH?
Well, there really isn't any catch. Each golfer who participates in the Golf Marathon will be required to do three things.
• Give a day to play golf at the golf course. Shotgun start right after breakfast.
• Sponsor yourself for at least $1 per hole. Your $100 donation is payable in advance and is tax deductible.
• Solicit sponsorships from business associates and friends with a goal of raising an additional $24 per hole...that amounts to $2,500 each golfer can raise for this most worthwhile cause. So, you can see with a field of 40 golfers, each raising $2,500, we could reach our goal of $100,000. WOW!
What if I don’t play golf?
No problem! You can sponsor a golfer and then solicit sponsors to match your pledge for that golfer with a goal of raising $2,500. You can still be a champion for Catalyst Partnerships.
OK, 'GIMME' THE DETAILS:
The Catalyst Partnerships IRONMAN Golf Marathon will be played on Friday, May 20th at the Charbonneau Golf Club with the location details to follow in upcoming newsletters. The Marathon will give you a very rare opportunity to play on a golf course, almost by yourself, and complete the equivalent of a month's worth of golf in one day! Our day's agenda will be something like this...
• Breakfast around sun up.
• Shot gun start.
• Flail away for at least 100 holes.
• Marathon stops when it either gets too dark to see, or the course staff runs us off.
• Go home, soak your muscles, and rub on some Ben Gay!
• Smile a lot - you've done a great thing today!
DID YOU SAY I COULD WIN SOME GREAT PRIZES?
Yep! All golfers/non-golfers who participate have a chance to reap the following....
• Golfing Prizes (Longest Drive & KP)– TBA
• Fundraising Prizes (Most Pledges & Most Sponsors)- TBA
