A Word From Your MP Often when I read the newspapers it seems that there are some stories that interest the media and politicians more than everybody else. One such example that occupied minds in Westminster and secured metres of column inches in print was the Government reshuffle which is also known as snakes and ladders.

Watching this chain of events unfold was fascinating and I have to say that the atmosphere was electric. There were MPs huddled in corners and stories flying everywhere most likely circulated by Members and journalists themselves. The only person who really knows what is going on is the Prime Minister himself. He confides in close advisers but until the reshuffle is complete I think even they aren’t truly sure what is going on.

On the day itself it quickly became apparent that Members invited to visit the Prime Minister in his office in the Commons were in line for the sack and those required to cross the road to Downing Street were in line for promotion. For many it is a time of make or break.

The days afterwards are slightly awkward as you are not sure whether to commiserate or congratulate colleagues. It was a sorry time for those who lost their jobs despite obviously working hard but on the other hand it was good to see others getting recognition for work put in over the years. Entertaining stories also start to emerge of Ministers who tried to resign but emerged with promotion and ministers due for promotion who discovered there were no posts remaining. Only in Westminster could these situations occur.

On a personal note as a Parliamentary Private Secretary I was pleased to hear that I would be moving from supporting the Northern Ireland Office to the Department for Transport. In Patrick McLoughlin, it is great to be supporting someone who started his working life as a miner in Cannock, is married to a girl from South Staffordshire, and who has gone on to be recognised as Secretary of State.To contact me call 01902 701479 or 0207 219 7150

Tips from Your Local PGA Pro This month we are going to be covering the short game. When around the greens it is always good to have a variation of shots, so we will be looking at the pitch shot and the chip and run shots.

Pitch Shots 1.At the address position make sure the weight of your body is favouring the left side to a ratio of 60/40, which will enable you to create a descending angle with the club into the ball .

2.With the ball placed in the middle of slightly narrower stance than you would use for your longer shots and the feet position open to your intended target. Looking down the hands should be positioned ahead of the ball, with the shaft of the club leaning slightly left towards the target. Its important to maintain this angle both in the backswing and particularly in the downswing as your hands lead the club back down to the ball, trusting the loft of your club to get the ball airborne.

3.Finally a thought about the rhythm of your swing when playing this shot. Try to keep the pace in the downswing the same as it was in the backswing. Do not decelerate at impact as this can lead to all types of poor shots, including catching the turf before the ball or thinning the ball along the ground.

Hopefully these 3 key points will help make your pitch shots more consistent and please note on just how important the set-up is to be able to execute the pitch shot correctly. However if confidence is still lacking in pitching the ball up in the air and if you have a clear path to the green then you could consider playing a chip and run shot which requires a much shorter swing.

Chip and Run Shots 1.Try to visualise the shot in your mind, a good rule is to look to carry the ball a third of the way to the hole and let it roll the remaining two-thirds to the hole.

2.Using a 6,7 or 8 iron, make sure the stance is narrow with the ball positioned towards the back of the stance and the weight of the body leaning slightly to the left and your arms hanging down from your shoulders. Adopt the stroke you would use with a putter, take the club back with the stroke being controlled by your shoulders and arms.

3.Make sure the wrists stay firm during the shot and the hands stay ahead of the clubface. One final thought, when practicing your short game don’t always put the ball on a perfect lie because when playing on the golf course especially during the winter months the ball can often run into a poor lie around the greens.

Your confidence will improve immensely out on the course if you practice short game shots from poor lies around the green.
