George Evans, an apprentice greenkeeper from the Black Country, completed a gruelling 100-hole challenge for Prostate Cancer UK alongside colleague Sean Gill.
The pair set off at 4.30am and spent more than 14 hours on the course at Stourbridge Golf Club.
Mr Evans said: “I’ve been aware of the impact of prostate cancer from an early age and wanted to do something to help.
“A lot of my time is spent playing golf or tending to the fairways, so I thought why not put the two together and complete the biggest charity challenge of my life.
“Fortunately, my colleague Sean was happy to take part so we both signed up for the Big Golf Race.”
Over the course of the day, the duo completed more than 60,000 steps, covered 42 miles and took 400 shots each to complete the challenge.
Mr Evans said it was a test of endurance, but the cause made it all worthwhile.
He said: “It was tough, I’m not going to lie.
“The physical exertion is something else and we even had to contend with our golf buggy, with clubs, rolling into one of the bunkers.
“Still, it was all worthwhile when you look at the fact we’ve nearly raised £2,000.
“A lot of people say they want to help, but we are really pleased to have risen to the challenge.
“Anyone who has played golf will tell you how hard it is to complete one round.”

The fundraiser drew support from local businesses, including Kendrick Homes, whose financial controller Mikesh Jivan-Patel praised the effort.
Mr Jivan-Patel said: “The firm and our staff really got behind the challenge by donating generously to the cause and supporting him on the day and welcoming them on to the 18th for the fifth time, eventually putting the final ball after 14 hours of non-stop golf.
“As a business, we are massive believers in supporting local people who are raising money for causes close to our collective hearts.”
Prostate cancer affects one in eight men during their lifetime and is the only major cancer without a national screening programme.
