Prostate Cancer is now the most commonly diagnosed cancer in the UK, killing one man every 45 minutes in the UK. That's the same time it takes to play three holes of golf.That's why I'm golfing the distance and taking on The Big Golf Race, to keep men in the game for longer. The money raised by this challenge will help fund research into life-saving treatments for prostate cancer and provide practical support to men and their families.

Playing 4 rounds of 18 holes may sound easy, but this is the equivalent of walking a marathon and with my handicap, hitting the ball over 400 times. Starting at 06:00am, myself and 3 friends will play until 22:00.
