GOLF pro Gary Martin is a man on a mission - he wants to see more members of the fairer sex on the fairways.

Gary, 26, who is assistant pro at Silkstone Golf Club, said: "I am trying more than ever to make golf more accessible and introducing the social side of the game to ladies with low cost coaching and free wine afterwards to encourage them to have a laugh and make new friends."

It's working too - for the first of his lessons with wine to follow, Gary had 34 ladies sign up.
