Bishop Wins at Wokefield

Jim Bishop (5) gave the Gtour yet another maiden winner as he won the third major of the year after clinching the Golfbreaks.com trophy.

Europe's leading golf travel company supplied the prizes on the day and have also just released their Early Birdie offer where golf groups can save up to £400 on their 2011 golf break by booking during September.

Bishop had a stunning round of gross 73 playing off five, which included four birdies to post 39 points, good enough for a one point victory to take the title.

Yet again the Gtour provided a great days golf for everyone involved with good weather and some great score coming in from De Vere's Wokefield Park.

It was one of the best scoring days of the season so far and a lot of the players payed tribute to the mind coach session they all had before they went out from Adam Sprackling of SingleMindedgolf.com

It was the positve attitude that Gary Walker (4) found so helpful:

" I spoke to Adam about the problem areas in my game. He gave me some advice and also a routine to aid me. So with this new tool in my bag off I went, and boy did it work!! It is mind boggeling (excuse the pun) how much the mental side effects your game. "Today I'm going to be possitive" that was my key thought and each time I found myself in a position of some difficulty I kept reverting back to the aid that Adam gave me."

It certainly worked for Gary who posted his best score of the season of 38 points and best finish since winning the Srixon Masters back in May to finish third on a count back.

Another tour regular Jonathon Crickmore (14) came in with his highest placed finish this season sealing second place again with 38 points. It was a good weekend for both Walker and Crickmore who moved up the Order of Merit table and both into the top 10 with three events remaining.

Crickmore also credited Adam's coaching to his up turn in form:

"Very, very pleased to have found some form at last. I would put this down to Adams coaching in the morning and playing next to Paul Whiting whose swing and rhythm I tried to emulate on the day.

Really enjoyed the course and the time spent playing a practice round the previous day with Jon Harris helped my game on the day."

Sprackling himself was delighted with the way the players took on board his advice and the way they were interested in the metal side of the game:

"I was thrilled to have the opportunity to run a Mind Clinic for the Gtour. I really enjoyed meeting such a great group of players, all wanting to get the most out of their golf. I'm really pleased those of who attended got so much from it. 

I'm now looking forward to doing more clinics in the future. What struck me was how prepared everyone was to raise and actually address their mental challenges there and then. This hunger for real learning is rare and is a real tribute to the commitment that every GTour player has."

With the Order of Merit so tight everyone will want to be on top of their game going into the next event which is Saturday 18 September at De Vere Mottram Hall.

The tough demanding course will prove a great test for everyone on the day. Could we have another first time winner on tour? Look forward to seeing you all there.
