Diss junior golfer, James Biggs (16) has been selected to attend the Lee Westwood Academy at Stoke by Nayland on a two year programme.

The course, while focusing on all aspects of golf, including play and the business side of golf, also covers general academic subjects, giving a balanced education. James' good academic grades were a consideration in his selection.
