The news coming out of Portsmouth does nothing for the image of golf as a young, dynamic and zestful sport. Rowland's Castle Golf Club has become one of the first in Britain to make that pressure putt or that long uphill trudge to the green all the more safer.

It has become the first of 26 clubs in Britain to install a Lifepak 500 automated external defibrillator. Yes, if you are feeling a little sluggish or your heart needs that extra kick, why not give it a blast of electrons from the Lifepak 500. Easy to use and simple to operate just stick it on your chest, well away from the irons and zap!
