| Balloch pub punters raise cash for charities during golf day |
|
Generous golfers swung into action to help out two families who recently lost loved ones. Regulars at The Dog House pub in Balloch raised £1100 at their 12th annual golf open, which was staged at Ross Priory Golf Course, near Loch Lomond, a fortnight ago. Organiser Andy Clarke, manager of the popular Balloch Road pub, was delighted that half of the cash raised was gifted to Janice Gauslin, wife of the late Billy Gauslin, who was a loved regular at the Doghouse and a founder of the golf open back in 1998. The other half went to the family of Balloch boy Alastair Grace, who recently died just after his 18th birthday. Alastair had battled bravely against cerebral palsy and sadly died of a brain tumour. Andy said: “This was the very least we could do to help both families at such a difficult time. It was great to see so many people turn out and dig deep to help causes in the local community – and despite the sad news, and torrential weather, all involved were in good spirits.
