Scott and Redgrave team up for charity

Actor Dougray Scott and and Olympic rowing hero Sir Steve Redgrave have teamed up to play golf for charity.

The pair have played 72 holes of golf at four courses in one day to raise money for a number of UK charities.

They began playing at 0500 BST on Tuesday morning at Skibo Castle, where Madonna and Guy Ritchie were wed. Unfortunately they were forced to abandon plans to play at St Andrews in Fife because of fog.

Last year's event, which featured Vinnie Jones and veteran musician Rick Wakeman, raised almost £150,000.
