A BUNGAY schoolgirl has been helped to perfect her golfing swing by one of the world's top players.
Laura Wood, 11, took up the sport just after Christmas after being inspired by her father who plays regularly.
But when her grandfather entered her for a competition in a national newspaper she never imagined she would win the chance to be tutored by Lee Westwood.
The Bungay Middle School pupil was one of 14 winners invited to attend his golfing academy to receive specialist training from his team of experts, as well as himself.

Her mum Sara said: “They took her through some coaching and training and she got lots of freebies. Lee came down personally on the Wednesday. She had her photo taken with him and he handed out certificates.
“She loved it, it was a really good experience for her and hopefully she will go on to be as good as him.”
