You’ll have the option to play two golf balls per hole with preferred lies and count both towards your tally.

Each golfer will have an assigned golf cart and starting hole. This is to help with initial distribution of players over 36 holes. After your first hole, you may scatter as you please.

Holes are not necessarily played in sequence. You might find a three-hole circuit to play for a series of rotations, and then wander off to another hole.

You’ll have the option to play two golf balls per hole with preferred lies and count both towards your tally. Putts "inside the leather" are gimmies.

Note about the official scorecard: It contains over 100 boxes. There’s no need to keep track of which hole you’ve played. Instead, you’ll write a -1 for a birdie, 0 for a par, +1 for bogey, and so on. Pick up once you’ve achieved a double bogey.

After you’ve filled in the 100th box, you’re done! Congrats!

Individual participants ages 26 and older are expected to raise at least $3,000 each.

• Next, most participants will choose ‘As an Individual’ to register. Only choose ‘As a Team’ if instructed to by your beneficiary organization’s event lead (for Camp Casco, this is Erin Stern: erin@campcasco.org).

• You will then hit the plus button and click the green box to ‘Reserve Your Spot’ on your preferred day to play – either Thursday 6/6 or Friday 6/7.

• Enter your information to complete the registration form.

Step-by-step instructions to set up your fundraising page:

• Go to the top right “Go To” button next to your profile picture and click on Fundraising page.

• Click on “manage’ on the top right.

• First, add a photo to your page. It is proven that adding a photo gives the fundraiser better results. Click “upload” to browse and get a new photo from your computer/phone. Insert and crop the photo, if necessary. Make sure to save changes!

• Next, when back at the Details page, set a new URL to personalize your fundraising page. (This will give you the ability to share the URL much easier on social sites and via text) Pick a new name for your URL (https://give.classy.org/yournewpagename) To ensure that this has worked, copy and paste the URL into a new page to make sure it responds to the change.

• Now, set your new goal. The minimum amount to raise for this event is $3,000 for individual participants, $1,500 for junior participants, and $1,000 for virtual participants, but we welcome and encourage attendees to strive to raise as much as they can. Enter your new amount and hit save.

• On the details page, you can also update the header name and page headline if you would like

• With these updates complete, now hit the next tab titled ‘Story’. This is where you will personalize why you are participating in the GFC Golf Marathon. You can add videos, photos, and text to let your donors know why this cause is so important to you. For those fundraising for a beneficiary other than Golf Fights Cancer, make sure you note in your story that ‘100% of donations made to my fundraising efforts will be distributed to ‘name of participating org’. Once you work on the page and perfect it, click save. Great work!
