16,800 Golf Balls

May 21, 2026 By Pam Pulizzi

Math is not my strength. Yet I think that 16,800 is a powerful number. That’s how many holes of golf have been completed by our marathon golfers over the past seven years.

Want more numbers? 58,800.  That’s approximately how many swings of a golf club have been taken by the golfers who competed in the marathons.  And that doesn’t even include putting!

2,016. That’s the number of hours our golfers have donated by giving up their day to help kids who need speech therapy. 

Over $200,000. That’s how much they have raised through their time, golf, and fundraising. 

We can’t thank them enough. We also thank their families and friends for supporting them and us in these incredible efforts! We are so lucky to be surrounded by all of you.
