GREENSIDE BUNKERS After last months chip/run article we will finish with the short game section by looking at how to help you get out of a greenside bunker.

1. Take up your position in the bunker, settle yourself in the sand and then flex your knees to give yourself a good solid base (make sure the ball position is in line with the left heel).

2. Position your body alignment (shoulders, hips and feet) slightly to the left of your intended target.

3. Open the clubface and then take your normal grip.

4. The club will follow the line of the body, creating a feeling of an out to in swing path.

5. As you make your backswing, hinge your wrists so that you create a steep angle of attack.

6. In the downswing make sure you hit an inch behind the ball and let the bounce of the club glide through the sand and that will enable the club to lift the ball into the air.

7. After the club has made contact with the ball in the sand, keep the club head moving along its path. (Don’t let the club head decelerate) REMEMBER: DO NOT GROUND YOUR CLUB BEFORE YOU PLAY YOUR SHOT AS THIS WILL INCUR A PENALTY.

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

As summer comes to an end we can scarcely believe that it is already time to dust off the pencil cases and lunch boxes and send our children back to school. One of the most important building blocks of any successful society is in my opinion education. To some extent our education defines us, liberates us and allows us to become anything that we want to be.

As both a parent and a Member of Parliament, a key priority of mine is campaigning for fairer funding for our schools in South Staffordshire. Our schools currently receive some of the lowest levels of funding per pupil in England. This is wrong and I think it is time that we make changes to the way funding is allocated.

The unfair funding system for schools has seen children from South Staffordshire lose out for far too long. Currently pupils in Codsall and across South Staffordshire currently receive ÂŁ515.75 less than a pupil in Wolverhampton.

I have launched a petition across the constituency in support of a new national funding formula which will deliver a fairer deal for children in Codsall. I will present the petition it in Parliament later in the year together with MPs from up and down the country. It is vital that we bring it home to ministers that parents want a fair deal for their children, based on need rather than where they happen to live.

I think that it is disgraceful that schools in South Staffordshire receive less funding per pupil than schools in neighbouring areas like Wolverhampton, Walsall and Dudley. In my view this lacks rationale and is blatantly unfair. I support schools with a higher number of pupils from disadvantaged backgrounds gaining additional funding to help bridge the attainment gap, but this should not be done merely on the basis of postcode.

We are so fortunate that are children are taught by such wonderful here in Codsall and they deserve a fair funding formula. I encourage all of my constituents to support my campaign and sign my petition to right this injustice in our schools so our children can have the brightest future as they possibly can and more importantly the future that they deserve.
