GOLFING ace Lee Westwood has donated new designer sports gear to an Edinburgh charity shop.

The former world number one gave to items to the British Heart Foundation shop on Shandwick Place, Edinburgh, on Monday after a clear-out.

More than 100 brand new items of golf wear from the sportsman, who lives in the city, are now on sale in the store.

The Antigua-brand items, including polo tops and T-shirts, would usually cost £50 each on the high street but are on sale in the shop at heavily discounted prices .

Janice Hogg, Shop Manager said: “We are absolutely delighted to have received such a generous and unique donation to our Shandwick Place Shop and that Lee has chosen to support the BHF.

This really does go to show the wealth and variety of items that our shops stock. We’re hoping that lots of golfing enthusiasts will pop down to the shop to see what we have to offer. Each purchase made will help in the fight against heart disease and mean the BHF can fund even more life saving heart research across the UK.”
