THE founder of a Cornish indoor golf venue and his son will be taking part in a 24-hour challenge to raise money for Children’s Hospice South West (CHSW).

Dan O’Shaughnessy, and his son Henry, will swing clubs for a full day and night at OSH Golf in Bugle, near St Austell, as part of their ‘golfathon’ challenge.

From 8am on Saturday, November 14, the duo will being their non-stop marathon to help children with life-limiting conditions, as well as helping to supporting their families across the region.

Members of the public are welcome to visit the venue at Rockhill Business Park to cheer the father and son team on, as well as book a session in another bay and play alongside them.

Every penny from bookings will also be donated to the hospice, helping Dan and Henry in their attempt to achieve their fundraising target of £1,000.

Ahead of the 24-hour event, Dan said: “Me and Henry are going to be in the bay for 24 hours raising money for CHSW. We would love it if you can get behind the great work that these guys are doing to make a difference to children’s lives.

“You don’t have to book, you can simple come down and cheer us on. We’d welcome people coming in and playing with us, as well as helping and supporting the charity. We’re probably going to need a lot of encouragement throughout the day.

“When you visit us, you can drop money in the tins that are located around the venue, or you can book out another bay on the day that we’re playing. We’ll donate all of the proceeds from bookings to the hospice.
