A hole-in-one and a day of friendly competition helped raise £15,000 for a cardiac charity.
The funds were raised during Heartbeat’s annual charity golf day, held at South Winchester Golf Club and sponsored by Pangea Insurance.
The event brought together supporters, businesses, and golf enthusiasts for a day of fundraising on the green.
Mark Ind, CEO at Heartbeat, said: "We are absolutely delighted to have raised such an impressive amount through this year's golf day.
"Every pound raised will help us continue supporting cardiac patients and their families, as well as funding vital projects that improve heart care across our region.
"It was fantastic to see so many people enjoying a wonderful day of golf while supporting such an important cause.
"We are especially grateful to our headline sponsor, Pangea Insurance, whose generosity and commitment were instrumental in making the event such a success.
