Golfers from Dartmouth Golf and Country Club took part in their first fund raising event of the year, but not on the golf course but in a nearby swimming pool at the Dartmouth Leisure Centre.

The early starters were in the water by 6am and their efforts brought £1,200 for this year's club charity, Children's Hospice South West.

Father and daughter Mark and Megan Lord are this year's Dartmouth Winter Mixed Knockout champions.

They clinched the Valiant Cup when Megan holes the vital putt on the final green against Chris and Brian Mushens.
