A large picture featuring the head of Russian president Vladimir Putin has appeared on a target at a North Herefordshire driving range.

Grove Golf and Bowl is raising money for the DEC Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal by asking golfers to "knock some sense" into Putin.

The club near Leominster has redesigned the targets on its driving range to feature the face of the Russian leader.

10% of all driving range takings will go to the DEC appeal and any donation received will be doubled by the UK Government.
