Mike Woodard completed a record-setting 38-hour golf marathon at Cartersville Country Club, starting Sunday evening and finishing Tuesday morning. The event raised over $180,000 for children's healthcare, reflecting Woodard's motivation to support a noble cause. The challenge involved playing through the night with glow balls, navigating sweltering temperatures, and requiring a walking-only format. Support from volunteers and friends helped him overcome physical and mental challenges throughout the attempt. Woodard's best score was a 78; however, the ultimate goal was fundraising rather than competitive play.
