Two pals are set to take on a golfing challenge for charity.
Adam Graham from Springholm and Darren Fortnum from Castle Douglas aim to play 100 holes in the space of one day.
And in the process they hope to provide a funding boost for the Doddie Weir Foundation and Prostate Cancer UK.
Adam said: “We decided we wanted to do this challenge because we both really wanted to raise some money by doing something we both loved.
“Darren has been playing golf for the last seven years and I’ve played for the last five years but we both enjoyed playing as a junior throughout school.
“I chose The Doddie Weir Foundation as rugby has been a love of mine since I was a young boy and I watched Doddie play for Scotland and in the borders with my dad.
“I met Doddie Weir three years ago at The Scottish Open and since then I’ve known I wanted to raise money for MND through the Doddie Weir Foundation to support and find a cure for MND.
“Darren chose Prostate Cancer UK because it affects so many men all over the country and has affected many friends and family close to him.”
The pair have been playing golf together for the last four years and the challenge will take place at Castle Douglas Golf Club on Saturday, June 11.
They’ll start at 4am and expect it to take around 14 hours to complete.
Anyone is welcome to join them for a hole or two – regardless of age or skill – for a small donation to charity.
