GOLFING ace Lee Westwood has donated new designer sports gear to an Edinburgh charity shop.
The former world number one gave to items to the British Heart Foundation shop on Shandwick Place, Edinburgh, on Monday after a clear-out.
More than 100 brand new items of golf wear from the sportsman, who lives in the city, are now on sale in the store.
The Antigua-brand items, including polo tops and T-shirts, would usually cost £50 each on the high street but are on sale in the shop at heavily discounted prices .
Janice Hogg, Shop Manager said: “We are absolutely delighted to have received such a generous and unique donation to our Shandwick Place Shop and that Lee has chosen to support the BHF.
This really does go to show the wealth and variety of items that our shops stock. We’re hoping that lots of golfing enthusiasts will pop down to the shop to see what we have to offer. Each purchase made will help in the fight against heart disease and mean the BHF can fund even more life saving heart research across the UK.”
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
