~TFC’s Alfie Smith, Darren Barton, and James Hope conquer 15 hours of golf to support Macmillan Cancer Support~
Three staff members from TFC Limited endured a marathon 15 hour non-stop golf challenge on the 20th of June to raise vital funds for Macmillan cancer patients. The team covered 30 miles and 57,000 steps in 4 rounds of golf to successfully complete the ˜Longest Golf Day Challenge™ held at the East Sussex National golf course near Uckfield, East Sussex.
A global initiative, the Macmillan Longest Day Challenge invites golfers to play four full rounds in a single day and is so-called because it usually takes place on the longest day of the year, however, the TFC team had the small disadvantage of playing one day ahead of the summer solstice; with slightly less daylight available. Despite this, the team played incredibly well and only managed to lose a couple of balls in the process.
