Jimmy McGhie has won the Mackenzie Taylor Memorial Golf Cup for the comedians' team.

It was the eighth year of the golf tournament that pits comedians against industry professionals at the Edinburgh Fringe.

Taking place at Duddingston Golf Course, the popular course that nestles in the shadows on Arthur's Seat, the annual cup remembers comedian Mackenzie Taylor. A regular at the Edinburgh Fringe, Taylor tragically took his own life in November 2010. This tournament is a way of highlighting mental health issues amongst performers and the wider world.

This year's the comedians' team comprised of Carl Donnelly, Jimmy McGhie, Alistair Barrie and Dominic Holland whilst the industry were represented by promoters Mick Perrin and Richard Bucknall and journalist Bruce Dessau.
