Expecting to leave it all on the field, Ford is calling time on his turbulent golf career at the conclusion of the event, "This challenge is going to hurt my already ailed body." Joked Ford.
"My only inspiration will be raising money for such a worthy cause and doing some good with a game that I can happily say I enjoyed until 24th November 2013." He added.
Throughout his journey, Ford will be writing about the challenge, as well as recording a film to track his progress.
