What is the Big Golf Race?

The Big Golf Race isn’t your typical round on the course—it’s a big day out where every swing makes a real difference. Your 36, 72, or ultimate 100-hole challenge will be driving crucial change for men affected by prostate cancer.

Each pound you raise will help blaze a trail to a future where every man is invited for regular, accurate tests to catch prostate cancer early enough for a cure. We’re closer than ever, but it’s your skill and determination that will help us go the distance and change the game for men.

Until we reach that goal, your time on the course will raise awareness of the most common cancer in men.  Every swing, every round, and every moment with friends will spark conversations and encourage men to check their risk today—so they can find prostate cancer early enough to be cured.

If you can go the distance, we can too.

Meet Freddie & Barry

Barry Plummer and Freddie Hughes are two golfers who are backing The Big Golf Race this summer.

Golf Monthly writer Barry is going the distance this summer after his dad was successfully treated for the most common cancer in men, while Freddie is hoping that The Big Golf Race will help men to know their prostate cancer risk factors after his dad was diagnosed late, meaning his cancer had spread.

“It's something you never think is going to happen to you or your family,” Freddie said.

“The money that I've raised I hope just makes a a small difference in the the research and the testing, and to help get the message out there.”

Barry said: “Luckily my dad has gone through treatment and came out the other side, and we’re very fortunate that’s the case. We know that’s down to the hard work and research of organisations like Prostate Cancer UK, and I’m glad to have played a part by taking on The Big Golf Race.”

If you can go the distance, we can too.
