ROYAL Troon Golf Club made a donation to the stroke unit at the Crosshouse Hospital.

Following a charity golf event with Troon Portland and Troon Ladies, the three clubs played 18 holes over the Royal Troon Golf Club.

Each club had a chosen beneficiary and Royal Troon decided to donate their £1000 to the Acute Stroke Unit (ASU).

Andrew Power, Club Captain of Royal Troon, said: “We chose to donate to the Acute Stroke Unit as three of our members were in this unit over the last year and are all now recovering well.

"The word from them is that they got the best of care and were delighted we chose to donate to the unit.”

Senior Charge Nurse, Christine Sommerville, added: “We are very grateful to Royal Troon for choosing the Acute Stroke Unit as their charity.

“We are delighted to hear the members are recovering well and that they had a positive experience in the ASU. On behalf of the ASU team, a big thank you.

"This generous donation will support patients’ experience within the stroke unit.”
