Scottish golfers are holding virtual tournaments which allow them to play rounds without leaving the house. 

Bellshill Golf Club is running the simulated competitions to raise money for NHS staff. 

To play, participants enter their handicap on a website and the results of the round are randomly calculated. 

The handicap is then subtracted and a winner is named. 

During a virtual round earlier this month, Bellshill Golf Club raised £160 for the NHS.  The next event will see players compete for the "Keep your Distance Strokeplay Medal“. 

Entry costs £3 for members, with 40% of the funds given to the winner and 60% to the NHS. 

Allan Saunders, club secretary, said:  "It's a fun competition and I think it keeps the guys' spirits up during these troubled times.

"Each member has to go through the motion of booking a tee time on the start sheet just as you normally do for a competition and pay the cost of taking part.

"So in that sense, it’s keeping members interested and we are posting daily via our members Facebook page.

"There’s a fair bit of banter and bragging rights on our social media, but the most important thing is the donation to NHS staff.

"It was our finance convenor that came up with the idea. He was inspired by indoor golf simulators and thought up a way of  allowing people to play golf without leaving the house."
