He effectively ran a full marathon in five hours and 52 minutes, and incredibly finished his rounds just one over par.
McMaster, who is ranked number one in Australia and number nine worldwide for Speedgolf, undertook The Longest Day challenge on the local course on Monday, December 9.
Speedgolf is a variation of golf that combines the elements of running and golf - the objective is to complete the course in the fewest possible number of strokes and the fastest time possible.
McMaster combines his expertise in golf with a passion for running, excelling in competitions that integrate speed and precision, such as the recent Speedgolf World Championships in Japan, where he finished 22nd individually and 10th in the team event.
McMaster is also involved in promoting Speedgolf in Australia.
He spearheaded the revival of the sport post-COVID disruptions and will oversee the upcoming Speedgolf Australian Open at Tocumwal in May 2025.
He actively encourages newcomers to try Speedgolf, hosting weekly meet-ups at the club.
The Longest Day is the ultimate golf challenge designed to test your skill, strength, and stamina.
Participants are challenged to complete 72 holes of golf in a single day while raising vital funds for Cancer Council’s research, prevention and support services.
McMaster has proved there are virtually no rules when it comes to The Longest Day; it’s all about getting involved and raising money.
