Welcome to the very first edition of The Dudley Herald

This year The Dudley Open moves into the world of online publishing with this brand new publication, featuring all the news, reviews and gossip surrounding the tour.

With extensive images and even high definition video, it's the place to be.

We've even got our own agony aunt to dish out advice where needed.

There's a classified ads section where you can probably pick up a bargain, and for 2011 we've re-introduced an even higher tech version of the Dudley Open Swing Analyser!

 

Dear Flo

I am a regular golfer and quite a good one (I like to think). I watch Sky Sports to get tips from the pros and play every weekend. But my biggest problem is my annual golfing tournament. The guys see me as the life and soul of the party, always ready with a joke and a laugh. But inside the story is different: I am constantly sad and upset. I have been trying to win this tournament for so long, I seem to get so close… but bottle it at the last minute. Do you think I should stop playing and admit defeat, or carry on hoping…..and joking.

B, Midlothian

Dear B

You poor chap! What must it be like to have kept all that despair bottled up inside you for all these years? It's hard, I know, but don't stop believing. Wean yourself off Sky Sports, stick to uplifting shows of how the underdog can win respect (Glee and Ugly Betty are my personal favourites) and always carry hope in your heart. And you'll never walk alone. Embrace life, believe in your golf, and most importantly believe in yourself. Because you're worth it.
