Golfers had a lucky escape after an out-of-control speedboat flew through the air and crashed into a bunker.
The Final Fling boat careered into the course at Loch Lomond, Dunbartonshire, after hitting rocks.
Its skipper was forced to jump into the water after waves from another vessel sent the speedboat off course.
Meanwhile, terrified golfers on shore were forced to run for cover. French tourists Claude Bieth and Catherine Guillet were enjoying a round of golf when the boat crashed.
Mr Bieth said: "The boat seemed to go in slow motion and came to a halt in the bunker. The motor kept going but it was stuck fast."
Clyde Coastguard launched a major search operation after the boat crashed on Sunday.
A club spokeswoman said: "Thankfully no one was hurt."
