PGA Golf Tips from Jeremy Nicholls at Ledene Golf Centre.....

Getting more out of your sand wedge A lot of people think a sand wedge is just for bunker shots. When in fact it is a useful club for pitch shots around the green.

Utilise the 56°/58° of loft especially when attempting to get over a bunker or hazard and you want the ball to land softly.

With a sand wedge the harder you swing the higher the ball will go which helps the ball to stop quicker. This will mean you can land the ball closer to your intended target.

Try this and hopefully these tricky shots will not appear so daunting.

Café Ledene now open DAILY from 9:00am Monday – Saturday and from 10:00am Sunday ALL WELCOME - Golfers and non-Golfers Hot and Cold Food and Drinks served daily in beautiful picturesque setting

A Word From Gavin Williamson...............

Commuting can often be one of the most frustrating parts of the day, especially for those who are currently using the trains running through South Staffordshire to get to and from work. Having commuted to Westminster from my home in Codsall, I have experienced the extremely uncomfortable journey that many have to deal with twice a day.

After calling for action, I recently met with representatives from London Midland to urge them to look into the issue of overcrowding on our trains. I have also been contacted by a number of unsatisfied commuters who are concerned with the lack of parking at Codsall Station and the increasing capacity of peak time trains heading towards Birmingham and Wolverhampton.

Across the West Midlands there has been significant growth in passenger numbers. Last year there were 45,3000 passenger journeys through Birmingham train stations in the afternoon peak hours of 4-7pm up from 40,5000 in 2014.

Nationwide, rail journeys have doubled in the last 20 years, the growth in passenger demand in the West Midlands is even faster than the national average.

Although the Department of Transport have since insisted any new franchise for London Midland which will affect this line and the line serving Codsall, Landywood and Bilbrook to increase capacity by more than 30%, London Midland currently deploys all available train units during peak times. This is becoming a more serious problem as time goes by and I pushed London Midland for further action on this during our meeting.

Overcrowding on our trains is not a new issue for commuters in Codsall. The service, especially at peak time trains, is grossly inadequate. It is clear that from the level of demand, the service needs serious improvement. Codsall residents deserve a better service than the one they are currently receiving and I will continue to push both organisations until a solution is found.

On upcoming events, I am very much looking forward to celebrating Easter in South Staffordshire. I always relish the opportunity of being able to spend time visiting our fantastic community groups and local businesses. It is always wonderful to be able to learn more about businesses in Codsall and I am always so pleased to hear about the ways that both businesses and community organisations are benefitting our local area.
