Westhill GC pro George Bruce presents 

defibrillator to club at end of Testimonial Year

By COLIN FARQUHARSON

The testimonial year of Aberdeenshire's Westhill Golf Club professional George Bruce reached a climax at the annual prizegiving night (Sat, Nov 28) when George presented a debfibrillator to club captain Doug Gold.

Said Morvan Sherrett of the Testimonial Organising Committee:

"It was always intended that part of the proceeds raised from the events marking George Bruce's long service to the club and its members during the season would go to a charity of George's choice.

"Following the Bernard Gallacher incident, when he collapsed at a function in Aberdeen,  George felt it would be appropriate to donate a defibrillator to the club. It was sourced through the lucky2BHere charity (www.Lucky2BHere.org) who also provide free training for all club staff."

Club Captain Doug Gold said "It was a typically generous gesture from George to want to give something back to the club, and the defibrillator will be something that hopefully won't have to be used, but will be available for the benefit of all".
