Peterborough junior golfer goes the distance in 54-hole prostate cancer fundraiser
"Completing 54 holes in one day was tough, but it's nothing compared to the challenges faced by those battling cancer”
Zack Treliving, an aspiring 15-year-old junior golfer from Peterborough, has successfully completed a grueling 54-hole golf endurance challenge to raise vital funds for Prostate Cancer UK.
The marathon challenge took place at Orton Meadows Golf Course, where Zack learned the game. He played three full 18-hole rounds back-to-back in a single day with his close friend Jack Woodbine, who he frequently plays golf with. The feat required hours of intense physical exertion, walking several miles, and maintaining elite-level focus throughout.
Zack is a rising name in the regional golf community, currently playing off an exceptional handicap of 4.1. He chose to channel his passion for the sport into a meaningful cause, raising both awareness and crucial funds to support families affected by prostate cancer and fund research into early screening.
"Completing 54 holes in one day was tough, but it's nothing compared to the challenges faced by those battling cancer," said Zack. "I wanted to use my love for golf to make a real difference."
