Gerry Wooster, 74, of Bradley, Wrexham collapsed last October on the fourth hole of Rhuddlan golf course.
Doctor Jamie Wainwright, a St Asaph based GP, was following in a party behind Mr Wooster and rushed to his aid. Emergency services made their way to the golf club within four minutes of the call. Once they had reached the club they decided that getting to Mr Wooster on foot would lose valuable seconds, which would be vital for his chance of survival.
Ken Cook, team leader of the Rhyl ambulance crew, packed his bags onto an awaiting golf buggy and used the vehicle to reach Mr Wooster.
He said: "When I arrived the patient was being resuscitate by a fellow golfer who just happened to be Dr Wainwright from Pen-Y-Bont surgery, St Asaph. Following further resuscitation and five shocks from the defibrillator, we managed to restart his heart."
The paramedic was quickly joined by member of the Rhyl ambulance crew, Tony Stephens and Sam Jones who negotiated their emergency vehicle across the fairway to reach Mr Wooster.
Mr Cook has remained in contact with Mr Wooster, who is a former captain of the club, throughout his recovery. He said: "Its just great to be able to see how well Gerry has recovered from his heart attack. It was very nice to see him here and see how much of a respected man he is at the club."
Mr Wooster has been a member of the 18 hole club since 1967. He gave an emotional thank-you to the team of paramedics who saved his life, but admitted that he could not stay away from his hobby, even if it was against doctors orders.
"I have played a few holes since October, but now I am getting around in a golf buggy instead of walking. It will take me time but I am getting around a bit better…I can still swing!"
