2024 Golf Marathon

It’s that time of the year again! Our golf marathon season is right around the corner and we are anxious to get started.

What is Our Golf Marathon

The golf marathon is First Tee – West Michigan’s biggest fundraiser of the year! Every year, we host our marathons at both private and public courses across West Michigan, raising money for our students on scholarship so more kids & teens in West Michigan can access our program for free.

How Does it Work

Marathoners raise money by receiving pledges from their friends, family, coworkers, etc. Pledges can either come in flat donations or other incentives like number of holes played, eagles, birdies, pars, and sometimes ace’s. On the day of the marathon, golfers play as many holes they can in one day and try to raise as much money as they can depending on pledges received. For example, if a marathoner is worth $6 a hole and play 108 holes, they’ve raised $648.

Fundraising Information

We ask marathoners to raise at least $2,000. Don’t worry! We’ll help you along the way by giving you tips, best practices, and other resources to help you reach that goal. You don’t have to worry about collecting money, we’ll provide you a link you share with your network so they can pledge directly to you!
