Australian Golf Team complete 2024 Longest Day of Golf
The Australian Golf Team has successfully completed its 72-hole 2024 Longest Day of Golf challenge at Frankston Golf Club on Thursday 19 December. So far, the team has raised over $3k for cancer prevention and biomedical research programs for Cancer Council Victoria.
Sincere thanks to all our collective donors for supporting this worthy and relevant cause to both our sport and society in general. The contributions are genuinely appreciated.
We were fortunate to have a glorious Melbourne summer day with a mid 20's temperature, clear blue skies and a gentle breeze throughout. Perfect golf conditions for the best on-course day of the year.
It was a day full of good and indifferent golf (no such thing as bad golf - only challenge is to get better) but far more importantly lots of fun, chat, story swapping and support for each other. Gets better every year. Thanks to a great team and especially Brian Hill for his invaluable support across the day coordinating food and water/sports drinks.
Among 15 players that competed across the day, we also welcomed two new 72-hole players this year in Danielle Knowles and Patrick Taylor. They joined Vanessa Lionello, Kavisha Di-Pietro, Sally Peers, Harry King and me (David Greenhill) who played the four rounds.
It was also great to have so many players visiting Frankston to play sections of the day including Chris Elliot, Damien de Bohun, Brad James, David Stein, Juliet Austin, Charlie Reid, Andrew Poppins and Chris King.
Special thanks to Frankston Golf Club, especially President Ross Eddy and the fantastic membership that fully support the team undertaking the Longest Day at this beautiful bushland course.Â
The venue is truly spectacular, and the encouragement given by members to the team throughout the day warmly welcomed.
Finally, well done to the team for a wonderful day - twelve months to work some more on our golf games and stamina (me especially) so we can do it all over again. Roll on 2025.
