Miller has been accepted to play in the highly competitive Sussex Open Championship being staged at the Crawley-based club for the second year in succession.

Last year, Cottesmore's two professionals failed to make the cut and win through to the second day of the competition, organised by the Sussex Professional Golfers' Union and open to professional players and the county's best amateurs.

Miller, one of the top amateurs at the club, said: "When our director of golf Calum Callan, a former Sussex professional champion, missed the cut by one shot and assistant professional Chris Leppard missed by four shots it gave me the chance to have a joke at their expense.

"I told them it was embarrassing and, of course, they were not best pleased and said they would like to see me do better.

"Never one to refuse a challenge I agreed, entered the competition and have just heard that my application has been accepted, so there's no turning back now."
