After playing at Chisholm Park on Sunday, the Wellington pair teed off at Balmacewen yesterday, day No 354 in a venture which has taken them to 13 countries playing a different course each day.
The furthest north they played was the Brora course in northern Scotland, while Oreti Sands in Invercargill was the most southern course on their itinerary.
The idea was hatched when the pair visited Cape Kidnappers in August last year and they began the marathon by playing Kauri Cliffs on January 1.
They are playing for The First Tee charity which teaches disadvantaged children life skills, using golf as the conduit.
They admit that playing every day has improved their golf.
Patton has a handicap of six while Goldstein plays off eight.
The pair were joined at Balmacewen by another Wellingtonian, Bart De Vries, who met them in England in September and has played every day since.
The last round will be on December 31 and it is fitting it will be played at Cape Kidnappers.
Goldstein and Patton will then return to Wellington with no intention to return to their day jobs, as lawyers, but hoping to write a book on their travels.
It was a day for marathons in Dunedin yesterday as eight Canterbury golfers embarked on playing four courses in one day.
They began at Taieri at 5am, started at Balmacewen at 9am, played Chisholm Park at 1pm and began St Clair at 5.30pm, hoping to finish before dark.
