Divers were called in to retrieve a golfer's watch and wedding ring after his bag, clubs and trolley plunged into a lake during a gust of wind.
Alan Neill was playing the final hole at the Ryder Cup 2010 course at Celtic Manor in Newport at the time.
The 39-year-old from Gloucester watched as the wind blew the trolley down a bank and into the lake.
The bag was saved, but the valuables were lost. But a team of divers found them using underwater metal detectors.
Mr Neill, a financial controller, used a bunker rake to retrieve his golf bag, minus the trolley and several irons, out of the lake.
He found his mobile phone but a £1,500 watch and his wedding ring were nowhere to be seen.
