Golfers who took part in a fundraising golf tournament early this year will present a cheque to the University of Dundee’s Institute of Cardiovascular Research (TICR) tomorrow. The golf event organised by Bridge of Allan based, Executive Golf & Leisure raised £9,400 for the TICR campaign.

Graham Pook, managing director, Executive Golf and Leisure will join three other golfers, father and son partnership Michael and Richard Hally and Jim Patrick, president of the Dundee Rotary Club to hand over the cheque to TICR Chairman, Robert McLaren.

The TICR campaign is raising funds for a new Institute for Cardiovascular Research bringing together a team of specialists in five medical disciplines to enable detection and intervention of heart-related diseases at an earlier stage. The campaign has already raised £2.5m and is now in the final phase to raise the target of £3.5m.
