A Scottish girl got a real treat when a former Ryder Cup star rewarded her entrepreneurial spirit by giving her a set of custom-made golf clubs.
14–year old Jasmin Bouverie had set up a stall outside her North Berwick home, which overlooks the West Links course, and was selling lemonade and brownies to raise money for a new set of clubs.
Former Ryder Cup star Ronan Rafferty, who was taking part in the Prostate Cancer UK Scottish Senior Open at Archerfield Links, initially handed over £20 to Jasmin.

Cassie Bouverie, Jasmin’s mum, explained: “He gave her £20 for his lemonade and brownie, then announced on second thoughts he would give her a new set of golf clubs!”
“We never really thought it would happen but, true to his word, the clubs later arrived.”
A new set of Golphin clubs arrived last week, and Cassie said everyone was thrilled.
She added: “We couldn’t quite believe the whole story when Jasmin came screeching into the house announcing she had met this man called Ronan and he was going to give her clubs.
“It is an incredible gesture from Ronan.”
We say nice work Ronan. What a gent!
