	WIN A ROUND WITH WOLSTENHOLME We have teamed up with MacWet Gloves to offer one very lucky reader the chance to play a round of golf at The Belfry’s Brabazon course with Gary Wolstenhiolme. Wolstenholme famously beat Tiger Woods in a crucial Walker Cup match in 1995 and had an amazing amateur career. Wolstenholme finally turned pro in 2010 and joined the European Seniors Tour. He won an event almost immediately and has had another great year in 2011. And you could line up against him over the awesome Brabazon course. The winner will also receive a pair of MacWet Gloves, as will five runners-up!
	CONTROL YOUR BALL BETTER Understand why your ball behaves in the way it does. If you know why your ball bends right or left you can adjust your swing or simply account for that shot shape. Once you have cracked the different club paths and impact positions you should be able to adjust so that you can control how your ball flies. Today’s Golfer Elite coach Adrian Fryer covers clubpaths, the slice, the pull, the pull-hook, the block, the hook, the push slice, the draw and the fade. Read this and start getting to grips with your ball flight…
	TG TAKES ON FREDDIE FLINTOFF Freddie Flintoff has been keeping himself pretty busy since he retired from cricket in 2099. He has appeared on all sorts of TV shows and he has also taken up golf.
