40-Hour Golf Marathon Raises $300K to Fight Trafficking

Bruce Deel and Nate Green just spent nearly two full days on a Georgia golf course, and every swing mattered for survivors of sex trafficking.

The founders of Men Opposing Sex Trafficking (MOST) completed 40 hours, 22 minutes, and 5 seconds of continuous golf at Fields Ferry Golf Club in Calhoun, Georgia. Green sank the final putt as supporters cheered, securing the organization's fifth world record.

The rules were brutal. For every hour of play, they earned just five minutes of rest. The pair initially planned six-hour golf sessions to bank 30-minute breaks, but exhaustion forced them to switch to four-hour blocks with 20-minute rests.

Around the 18-hour mark, Deel hit a wall. His body screamed to stop, and doubt crept in about finishing the challenge.

That's when his wife showed up and walked every hole beside him for the next 21 hours. Community members and volunteers gathered at the course throughout the marathon, offering encouragement when the golfers needed it most.

The grueling effort paid off with $300,000 raised so far for MOST's mission to educate men about sex trafficking and support efforts to end sexual exploitation. The organization believes engaging men is key to stopping demand and creating lasting change.

The Ripple Effect

This golf marathon marks MOST's fifth world record, following previous achievements in softball, basketball, kickball, and dodgeball. Together, these extreme athletic fundraisers have generated roughly $2 million for anti-trafficking work.

Each record attempt does more than raise money. It sparks conversations about an issue many people prefer to ignore, bringing awareness to communities across Georgia and beyond.

The funds support direct intervention programs, education initiatives, and resources for survivors rebuilding their lives after trauma. Every dollar represents another step toward freedom for those trapped in exploitation.

What started as one man's vision has grown into a movement of supporters willing to push their limits for others, one world record at a time.
