Sean Thorburn completes Gailes Irvine charity golf challenge

An Ayrshire golfer has completed a remarkable endurance challenge at The Gailes in Irvine, raising money for local causes. Sean Thorburn, originally from Ayr, set out to hit a golf ball the full length of Scotland in a single day.

Starting at 6.30am on Wednesday, April 1, he struck a total of 2,338 balls over 15 hours, finishing late that evening. Despite fatigue and physical strain, he completed the challenge and raised £1,600, which will be shared between South Ayrshire Foodbank and Wheels in Motion in Ayr.
