PGA Golf Tips from Jeremy Nicholls at South Staffs Golf Club Academy.....

Christmas Gift Guide For Golfers; As Christmas approaches, we look at some gift ideas to help you find the correct gift for the golfing family and friends on your Christmas list.

1. GOLF ACCESSORIES/ ATTIRE– The list can be endless here but good quality golf balls eg Srixon or Titleist are both popular brands and for the golfing attire a smart jumper is always a good idea, as well as a good quality waterproof top for those golfers who like to carry on playing through the winter.

2. GOLF CLUBS-When buying a golf club nowadays a lot of clubs are tailor made to suit the individual golfer (custom fitted). Whether its a driver, set of irons or a putter make sure relevant information about the individual you are buying for is given eg height, handicap and age of the golfer.

3. GOLF LESSONS – whether you’re a total beginner or an established golfer. A golf lesson can prove to be invaluable. A beginner learns the basic fundamentals of a correct golf swing which sets you on the right path to learning to play golf, or as an established player you can tweak your golf swing or work on other areas of your game that you wish to improve upon 4. GOLF RANGE FINDER-for the more serious golfer these always prove very popular as they give you the exact yardage from the tee or where your ball is lying on the fairway. This enables you to choose the correct club for the yardage given. I personally use the Bushnell range finder but the Garmin GPS wristwatch is also another suitable alternative.

I hope the above gives you some help in choosing a gift suitable to your budget for the golfer in your family.

I would finally like to wish you all “ A very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year” from everyone at Ledene Golf Centre and I look forward to seeing many of you practicing and playing golf at Ledene over the Christmas holidays.

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

Almost every year I wonder how December crept upon us so quickly and this year is no exception. No doubt our thoughts have already turned towards Christmas and New Year celebrations, bringing families and friends together for this special time of year. I always think that it is important that we take a moment to reflect, especially during such a busy time of year, and appreciate our community.

From Christmas light ceremonies and Christmas tree judging competition to Christmas carol services, Christmas carol singing, Christmas dinners, Christmas drinks and the signing of Christmas cards the life of an MP is never still at this time of year. Indeed, it is often far too easy to get lost amid the business and bustle of the season. However, returning to Codsall I am immediately reminded of that Christmas community spirit, where residents go that one step further to make another’s life easier.

I was honoured to recently be invited to visit volunteers from the South Staffordshire Local Village Transport scheme once again. The scheme is invaluable for residents who are without easy access to private or public transport. Getting around our rural constituency, especially during these cold and dark winter months can not only be very difficult but also very scary for those who have mobility issues, something as simple as going to the shops or getting to an important doctor’s appointment can be a huge obstacle to overcome.

The voluntary driving schemes are a vital service for many local residents and can provide them with that little bit of assistance that enables them to stay in their home. I would like to thank the many volunteers who give up their free time to provide this essential service in our community, without whom this excellent scheme would not exist.

The Local Village Transport scheme is just one of many volunteer organisations that I have had the privilege to visit over the last year. I can never express how grateful and proud I am that there are so many selfless groups and individuals here in Codsall and right across South Staffordshire who give up their time to help others in our village. I am especially reminded about this at Christmas time when I see friends, families, neighbours and communities come together to celebrate the festive season. I hope all Codsall residents have a very Merry Christmas and wish you all the best for the upcoming year.
