A golf club has raised over £3,000 for Midlands Air Ambulance.

Ravenmeadow and Perdiswell Park Golf Club in Worcester hosted its Annual Golf Day in July, which saw over 80 members and guests competing for the prestigious Captain's Day Cup for a good cause.

All proceeds went towards the charity, which is reliant on donations as it receives no government funding.

The total sum of £3,000, the most ever raised at the event, was reached not just through the swinging of clubs, but also thanks to a charity raffle and auction afterwards in the clubhouse.

Golfers had their skills tested over 18 holes with extra challenges such as nearest the flag on the par three's, but also penalty hazards in the form of numerous bunkers on the course.

Club captain, Malcolm Dainty, said: "I'm absolutely delighted with the amount raised for my chosen charity this year, Midlands Air Ambulance.

"Members at Ravenmeadow are well known for their generosity and support for local charities but they've excelled themselves this year raising £3,000, the most ever.

"It was great to be able to combine a fun day of golf while supporting such a worthwhile cause.

"We all hope we'll never need to use their services, but they are there for us if we ever do.

"It was great to be able to combine a fun day of golf while supporting such a worth-while cause.

"Many thanks to all who contributed, particularly the club owners, Angela and James Leaver."
