Tributes to golf victim

TRIBUTES were paid to a mother of two who died after she was hit on the head by a golf ball while playing a practice match.

Charity volunteer Janet Llewellyn, who was 66 and lived in Balloch, Dunbartonshire, was injured at Strathendrick Golf Club, in Drymen, Stirlingshire, on October 1. She died the following day.

Cathy McGroarty, 79, who lives near Balloch and worked as a volunteer with Mrs Llewellyn at a shop at the Vale of Leven Hospital, said: “I can’t believe she passed away in such circumstances. It is a total freak accident.

“She was very good at work. She was always so active and full of life and a very nice person to know.”
