Golfers Aim for 1 Million Yards in 24 Hours | Leicester News

Nine golfers are tackling an insane 24-hour marathon to smash a world record—hitting one million yards straight, equivalent to driving from southern England to northern Scotland—all for Prostate Cancer UK. With no walking between shots, they’re using a high-tech simulator to track every two-hundred-yard swing, averaging one every 8-10 seconds. Taking turns in bursts of 5-10 minutes, they’ll pause hourly to reset the system, which maxes out at 500 shots. Keeping morale high? A masseuse and DJ are on hand. Golf influencer Rick Shiels is donating auction prizes to boost funds. If they hit their goal, they won’t stop—they’ll keep going. It’s a grueling, heart-pounding fundraiser with a serious mission: finding a cure.
