My story

Barry, Thomas, Cameron & Finn's Big Golf Race for Prostate Cancer UK

On 31st July 2026, four golfers from two generations will be taking on a challenge that is far bigger than any of us have attempted before.

Myself, Barry Heron, alongside my good friend Thomas Hughes, his son Cameron (16) and my son Finn (11), will be taking on The Big Golf Race at Kirkintilloch Golf Club, playing an incredible 72 holes of golf in a single day to raise money for Prostate Cancer UK.

We'll be teeing off at approximately 7:00am and aiming to complete four full rounds of golf before the sun goes down. For most golfers, 18 holes is enough of a challenge. Four rounds in one day is a completely different test of endurance, concentration, determination and, in our case, patience!

Given our handicaps and occasional ability to make golf look far more difficult than it should be (the dads especially – the boys are actually pretty good!), this is certainly no small feat.

But we're doing it for a cause that affects so many families across the UK.

Prostate cancer exists in every golf club.

In the UK, 1 in 8 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer during their lifetime, yet it remains the only major cancer without a national screening programme. Too many men are diagnosed too late, when treatment options can be more limited.

It shouldn't be this way.

That's why we're taking on The Big Golf Race. Every pound raised helps fund vital research into prostate cancer, helping to improve diagnosis, treatment and ultimately save lives.

Our goal is to raise £750 for this fantastic charity, and we would be incredibly grateful for any support you can give. Whether it's a small donation, sharing our page, or simply encouraging us as we tackle our 72-hole marathon, every contribution makes a difference.

Thank you for supporting us and helping Prostate Cancer UK continue its life-changing work.

Now all that's left is for us to find enough golf balls, enough energy, and hopefully enough good shots to get around 72 holes!

Thank you for your support.
