A sudden heart attack while golfing: What would you do?

The sun is shining. There are rolling hills of green grass as far as the eye can see.

What a beautiful day for a game of golf. Lots of sun, fun, and laughs.

You’re at the fifth hole. Your friend raises their club but never makes the swing. Collapsing to the grass, it looks like they’re unconscious and not breathing. You’re not sure though because your friend landed face down on their stomach.

Now what do you do? There are precious seconds to make the right decisions.
