Opting for an approach that will be sadly familiar to many an aspiring golfer - the "close your eyes and hope for the best" technique - Princess Anne's daughter was seen slashing about in the snow at the Chivas Snow Golf Championship in St. Moritz.

Alongside a number of other celebrities, including champion jockey Frankie Dettori, Zara is competing in the unique "snow golf" tournament as part of a new sponsorship deal with the whiskey firm.

She said: "I'm really looking forward to attending the Chivas Snow Golf Championship - apparently the course is spectacular and very cool.

"I'm a novice golfer but I'm looking forward to a new challenge... and the odd snow golf lesson from the professionals.

Dettori clearly couldn't wait to get 'hands on' with Princess Anne's daughter as he grabbed the opportunity to give her a golf swing lesson.

The Chivas Regal tournament is set against the stunning mountain backdrop of St Moritz in Switzerland and has a field of over 75 competitors from 12 countries.

Not that Zara looks to be taking the competition that seriously.

In between digging holes in the snow as she tried to hit the golf ball, she took time out to aim a few well-aimed snowballs at the watching photographers.
