A team of 12 amateur golfers will swing into action next month in an ambitious fundraising initiative.
They aim to play 18 rounds of golf across five countries in just six days, all in a bid to purchase three new Paragolfer all-terrain wheelchairs.
The team hopes to raise £80,000 to help more wheelchair users, or individuals with mobility issues, enjoy the game of golf.
Golf enthusiasts are keen to highlight how the Paragolfer wheelchair comes with a function that aids people to rise up and play golf.
During the course of their mission, the team will make a pitstop at The Beach Golf Course to interact with local heroes who have inspiring stories about how golf has positively impacted their lives.
The initiative, dubbed ‘Going The Extra Mile’, is a follow-up to Project 24, which was successful in procuring two Paragolfers currently in use at Walmley Golf Club and Roehampton Club.
The Golf Trust founder and ‘Going The Extra Mile’ challenger, Cae Menai-Davis, said: "We know how amazing golf is for people of all abilities.
"This challenge is going to be hard work, so we want people from Holyhead to come and cheer us on, tell us your story, see the Paragolfer and get involved in the fundraising.
"Golf is a sport for everyone and we want to show the world that it can be played anywhere and by anyone."
The team will begin their challenge from the home of The Golf Trust, The Shire London, on June 16.
They will pass through Holyhead on June 17, before culminating their journey at 'the home of golf', St Andrews, six days later.
They will play on different types of golf courses to show the accessibility and affordability of golf.
Members of the community who want to share their stories or want the team to meet a person during their journey can reach out to them via email at either nicole@medi8ltd.co.uk or charlotte@thegolftrust.com.
