THE World trickshot champion will be on hand at the Ladies' English Open in October to add something a little different to proceedings.

Paul Barrington is due to perform for an hour a day on the driving range during the tournament at Chart Hills Golf Club in Biddenden.

He won the inaugral World Trickshot Championship at Celtic Manor in Wales last August and is ready to entertain the crowds.

The 36-year-old said: "People love the trickshot shows. They are light-hearted, a lot of fun and a great spectacle for anyone who watches them. It's something a little different, and that appeals.

"It's great to be attached to a major tour event, and it's nice to support the Ladies' English Open. Hopefully, the show will also encourage more people to come and watch some of the best girls around.

Barrington's repertoire includes driving off bricks, hitting balls through the smallest of gaps between pieces of wood and driving balls 300 yards with a putter.

David Walls, sales and marketing director of the Leaderboard Group, the owners of Chart Hills, said: "He's got a great reputation for putting on a fantastic show. The display of seemingly impossible stunts is sure to be a real crowd-pleaser."

The tournament will be held from October 6 - 8.
