AUCHTERDERRAN Golf Club said it has been successful in its application to "save the pub life".

It's an initiative run by the brewers of Budweiser and invites locals to keep their local going by buying, for example, a gift card.

The beer company gives the pub double the money and the punter can spend their gift card there when it re-opens.

A number of hostelries have joined the scheme and that now includes the golf club.

A spokesperson explained: "Basically what we are asking members to do or anyone else who wishes to help the club is to visit http://www.savepublife.com and make a donation of up to £100 to Auchterderran Golf and Country Club.

"This donation will be immediately given to the club and will be available to be used as a voucher once social distancing rules are lifted.

"The voucher can be redeemed for drink and food at the club.

"Best thing is that Budweiser will match your donation in cash therefore bringing in valuable finance to the club.

"Donations can be made by non members as well so you can bring your friends along for a drink as well."
