Holidaymaker drowns in lake on Spanish golf course
A British golfer has drowned after falling in a lake while trying to find a lost ball on a golf course in Spain.
Thomas Ross, 73, could not swim and tumbled into the water as he played the fifth hole at Dunas de Donana golf course in Almonte, Andalucia on Sunday.
He was pulled out of the lake but died shortly afterwards, reports the Daily Mail.
The 18-hole course is near Matalascanas beach, which is popular with British tourists.
Local news site HuelvaYa reports that Mr Ross, who was from Scotland had been on holiday with a group of friends at the nearby four-star Carabela Beach & Golf Hotel.
A Foreign Office spokesman said: "We can confirm the death of a British national in the Huelva area of Andalucia and are offering consular advice to their family."
