Two years ago I was suffering a slow heart beat to a complete stop (for up to one minute). In June last year I was fitted with a "Pacemaker". Since then I feel like a new man , 10 years younger. I have returned to golf playing twice a week.

I hope to be a fund raiser for The BHF as a thank you for my recovery. Is there any one in South Lincolnshire who would like to join with me ?
