GOLF professional Jamie Cundy has success down to a tee after passing one of the sport's toughest qualifications.

Mr Cundy, who became advanced golf pro at Dudley Golf Club, Rowley Regis, seven weeks ago, has passed as a PGA Director of Golf after two years hard slog.

The final evidence submitted to the association amounted to a 65,000-word document and he is one of only four PGA members in the Midlands to have achieved the qualification.

The 45-year-old, who was at Edgbaston Golf Club for 17 years before setting up a golfing academy, said the course had helped him to focus his energies on something he loved doing.

β€œIt has made me a more organised professional and I have learnt many new procedures during the time,” he added.
