A load of balls...

Four fashion conscious golfers will once again tee off to try and sink putts and pounds for two great causes close to their hearts...

Golf
  The four intrepid golfers will tee off for a great couple of causes once again...

A four man team from Irvine & Dreghorn Band will soon undertake a marathon Golf Challenge to help raise money for the band and their chosen charity of Alzheimer Scotland, by playing no less than 720 holes over three days.

Wearing the requisite terrible golf clothing the lads will aim to complete 40 rounds each: That's 720 holes, hitting 2880 golf shots towards the pin (hopefully).

A load of balls

They will also travel 835 miles to visit 10 courses — and perhaps cover just about the same distance again depending on the accuracy off the tee walking up and down various fairways looking for their balls!

It for a great couple of causes — so why not support the lads as they look to improve their handicaps.
