We Played Six Golf Courses In One Day!

We Played Six Golf Courses In One Day!

Feels like a hy rock and I reckon 2 hours push polo is drenched with sweat. 48 years old. I played five rounds of golf. Just hit it 330 yards into a green. I deserve some sort of like MBE or something. Basically the happiness of my entire life depends on how my golf is going. Where is it? [Music] Yeah, big brother. [Music] Morning, VOD. You’re recording. It’s 10 to 4. It’s still dark. We’re in the middle of a heat wave and we picked the charity day when it’s raining. So, it’s not the best to start. [Applause] It’s not a good start, is it? No. I must have spent an hour of precious sleep time last night trying to sort figure out what you do here. How do you make it go? Oh, the bed. What are you doing? You can’t you can’t got no choice. We decided to play 100 holes at different courses. Get choice. Right. First hole. 108 holes to go. We’re at Heading Golf Club. We’ve worked out. It’s going to be 6* 6 half,000 yards, which is something like 39,000 steps, which works out about marathons worth of walking. We’ve got 18 hours, including getting between the golf clubs to play those six rounds of golf, which is approximately how much daylight there is. We better get cracking. You got nothing to add. Ow. Right, everyone else? You have actually just I think you just broken my broken finger. Oh god. God. Right. So the plan is we could have done this at one venue. We thought it going to be way more interesting to do it in different ones. is also going to make it harder because the little bits of traveling are really going to cost us our I think we have started heading golf club which from here we’re going to go to Morttown which is kind of makes slightly less geographical sense than it would have been going to San third and then we’re going to go to Old Woodley my home club and then we’re going to go along Wington Lane and we’re going to play at Moral Allison and then we’re going to finish up at Scarough. which is right next to our office and also handily nearest to my house. Uh so we play at six different courses all within I think four or five miles of each other which I think shows you how just how much golf there is. The trolley’s like got kind of main character syndrome in this video. Scary strikes making me quite anxious actually. How good is this golf course by the way? 5 or something. 536 reckon we feed off at 420 in the game where we get Yeah. been played for around 16 minutes in our first nine holes under 100k level by the way. I think I’m five over. It’s good enough for that. Don’t mind [Music] me. You got five rounds left. I’m not doing it. Prostate’s fine. Raise the money. We don’t actually have to do it. You said I’ll be fine. You did. [Music] down. Your mouth’s better than the average golfer. You will [Music] go golf shot. [Music] So, we’re now at Morttown. What do you know about Morttown? Um, hosted the Ryder Cup. What year? 1907. 1867. I think it ends with a seven. 1929. It’s not a seven. Anyway, Alison McKenzie’s second course. He was the captain and secretary here. And at Orley. Yeah. [Music] Never saw it. Where is it? Let’s go. We are seven holes in the second day. The first mention of being tired has been said, not by me. I um ged myself up on the drive in here and I kept saying to myself in my head, don’t tell yourself you’re tired today cuz then it’s just a downward spiral. Anyway, Tom said he’s tired. I feel okay. I’d like to get some breakfast. I’d like to stop hooping my driver right because it’s making the walk a bit longer. Other than that, feel pretty positive. [Music] So, when the uh the men of Mortown decided that they wanted to build a golf course and they wanted to use McKenzie, they didn’t have enough money to build an entire golf course. What they decided to do was pay him to build a prototype hole this longer h and then they brought along investors to say this is let’s crack on and build a profile. So this is 10 years ago and it is still an exception for golf has become many world I guess you call it now. [Music] So, we’re just trying to have a look at strategy for which course we head to next. We’ve all kind of been very flexible when we can arrive. The initial plan was to do Sand. However, with it being a Wednesday midweek stable, feel like it’d be quite a social time for the members to rock up for the morning round. The last thing we want is to get held up this early. So, we may do all woodliness potentially, which might just be quieter. Either way, would really like a bacon sandwich. We’re good. This is good. We’re going to be off here at 4. [Music] Oh, I’m terrible with Stop doing that. I’ve got a broken finger. [Music] Oh my god. Paul was supposed to check with Sam what the crack was there at 10:00. Didn’t do that. We turned up there at 10:00 and the crack was called from Meageddon and there were people everywhere. So, we’ve now had to come to our Woodley. Well, we don’t know what we’re going to be faced with, but we know the people here and they’re lovely. I’m sure they’ll let us through my So currently 10:29 and we’re in the third fairway at all Woodway and so we need to be clean off somewhere else at midday. So we’ve got 2 hours 30 minutes to get finished at one of England’s hardest inland golf course and then somewhere else. Sound very dear to it. concern is trolley is dying and it’s quite a heavy piece of not ideal having a uh trolley where the battery’s broken I don’t think is a lot of fun at the furthest point away from the car park whilst it’s a great bit of kit really heavy doesn’t bode well I do have a spare battery in the car so I just need to get through this bit tea time slot 1:00 isn’t it so if we keep going this rate we’re going to be off here by 10 actually have a lunch break this way. What are we now? Hole 13, 14. All the members and visitors have been unbelievable. The batteries died on this, so we’re having to play quite quick to try and get out of everyone’s way. Um, they’re now absolutely knackered. My polo is drenched with sweat. Why does he keep it in driver? Why does he not just an iron down the middle? [Music] [Music] I don’t I think this think this whole thing might have been a bad idea. Oh my not right with my right leg. Hello. Don’t Don’t do that thing. Right. Third round done. Now off to do the fourth round, which is usually how it works. That was rapid, right? We’ve just played 18 holes of some of the hardest heat and golf in the country in Ireland. Feels like a hy rock in I reckon two hours push. The people the people of our Woodley have absolutely done us proud there. It was like the Red Sea parting of credit to our flag man who ran ahead and said, “Please can they play through food, please?” Well negotiated, Bob. People’s prostates. You’ve all got a prostate. So this is round four of six. We’ve had several different rrooings. We had to go to Oldly. Now we’ve come to Smile. They’ve got 27 holes. Thankfully, we’re only going to play 18 of them. This is Robert Trent Jones only uh UK design built in the 70s. Uh I think it was mainly done by a guy called Ron Kirby on truth who also did most of the work at Old Head in Sale. It’s totally different from any of the north other North leads golf which is predominantly England and most and most of it Mackenzie’s had a hand in. This is more much more American in style big rolling hills. Really the sort of thing you want to be playing for your fourth round of the day. Think we might be on a few tight hamstrings from the finish. We need to get going. Just going to gra on track. If anyone’s ever done any like running any description whenever you do half whatever you spend your whole time just doing maths in your head right 80 miles 5 km whatever this goes that’s what today’s ridiculous so we’ve effectively got three hours for each golf course and transportation the next in total And we’ve done a two we’ve done two lots of 2 hour 32 rounds at the um sport just played old me in 2 hours 7 minutes believe it or not. So we’ve now got we reckon 9 hours almost exactly daylight left before close play. So if we can keep going at a 2 and 1 half hour round that is excellent. We should be fine. We both go a little bit delirious. You big brother. You know, like I always say, the goal of the 30 says bad spot. He’s doing the accents. Usually on these long trips, it’s the last couple of hours when he starts doing accents. I usually put my AirPods in. I didn’t bring my AirPods today. So bad. Bye. So bad. Got to walk. What? That’s a big uh big roller coaster of a place out of the way. Right, we’ve had yet another re reroute. No dice at uh start off. So we can now come back to Samour which is supposed to be our second course of the day is now our fifth course of the day. Right half start. Despite me just patting it down the fairway. I boxed a putt. This this round could be the one or it could break the fine line. Going to crush it on this green head. Oh yeah, that’s red, man. How come check me out? Get up there. Come on. Yeah, boy. Get me boy. Oh, it’s on. 48 years old. I played five rounds of golf. Just hit it 330 yards into the liver green. I deserve some sort of like MBA or something. This is five balls in two. quite describe to you how amazing the greens have been everywhere. [Music] Boy, speaking of I think it’s remarkable to me basically the happiness of my entire life depends on how my health go. It just so happens I’ve whacked a few driver streets and I just over I just keep playing keep playing till it breaks but then I’ll never go up again. Like some sort of immovable like force, aren’t we? It’s like we just come s barreling up and people like yeah yeah whatever like on you go else. That is a rocket man. How would you hit it like that? Honestly it just sounds different. Yes. Oh, love that. Love that. You love to see that. Come on. Let’s zoom up here. Oh, that’s so disappointing. [Music] Five to go. It’s good, isn’t it? Enjoy that. [Music] This is it. Made it. Round six. Uh, we’re at Scarcraftoft and we’re holding up the whole course again. Really want to hit a good shot. The miss is way better, right? Isn’t it don’t think the holes are big enough here and I don’t think it work either. Why is that? [Applause] That’s interesting because he’s that is his like however many holes of the day but he’s swinging with freedom playing quickly and that’s what I think have been a big thing today is that long games I think it’s shown me that you should try and trust your instincts a bit more. I think generally speaking with both our watches or zap the flag and then hit the first one that’s come to mind basically been right all the time. It’s been proper privilege and very interesting to play all these courses all these northeast courses in your row back to back and sort of done it in pretty odd circumstances and I’ve played them all a lot before over the years and do forget and learn new things. I do think lead is like massively overlooked tourist destination. We’ve only been able to do this at separate quarters because they are all so close. It can’t be more than four or five miles. They’re so close together. All 16 quarters have just been an unbelievable nick. I can’t believe the speed of the greens in the places we played. So it’s genuinely somewhere that I think more more golf resorts visits because you then got like proper night life in Heaven and all the rest of it. So it is they are epic golf cottage. [Music] Basically, you have to try and play like 90 days to get you up or done. [Laughter] Yeah. [Applause] Thank you. Jamie made my day up being so kind. Why are people so kind? I’m not. It was like the best thing ever. Round of applause. So for context, we’ve both finished up in the hole very differently. I plotted my way up through the trees and Tom’s made a birdie. And as Tom’s finished the hole, got a lovely round of applause from a dozen people. But they weren’t They weren’t applauding my birdie, they were applauding our efforts. Yeah. Yeah, that’s what I mean. But it’s the timing that was that last p. And then they’ve kindly bought us all a drink to finish. So the captain of Scarcraft Golf Club has just sort of welcomed us in and bought us a drink and everyone slaps on the back and I think that’s been a big thing today, hasn’t it? That everywhere we’ve been, we’ve played through, we must have played through 25 groups across the six courses and everyone’s just been unbelievably accommodating. Yeah. And we couldn’t have done it without the courtesy of the six courses in North Le which are heading the Mtown Scarcraftoft Samour and my own club or Woodley which has been uh kind in itself. And then we couldn’t have done it without our sponsors. So Taylor made and Adidas who provided us with clothes and kit and Stuart Golf who provided us with absolutely amazing remote control trolley uh which I definitely might use again actually. Um, and all these things are only possible if people like Holly come and help us and people like uh our cameraman um Chris um we can’t create the content. You can’t do stuff like this without everybody uh helping you out. So, it’s been very heartwarming day, hasn’t it? It has. Good for the soul, but not good for the feet. Not good for the feet.

NCG’s Tom Irwin and Tom Bullough take on an epic challenge to play 108 holes in one day, in aid of Prostate Cancer UK.

Starting at 4:30am and playing until the last seconds of daylight, both Toms played six rounds of golf, the equivalent to walking a marathon across six of Leeds’ best golf courses.

The epic challenge sees the pair take on Headingley, Moortown, Alwoodley, Moor Allerton, Sand Moor and Scarcroft golf clubs all in the same day.

However, this isn’t just about golf – it’s about raising awareness and support for Prostate Cancer UK, a disease that affects 1 in 8 men every year in the UK.

Supported by TaylorMade, Stewart Golf, Adidas, Dynamic Golf, and all six courses that are featured in the video.
