Welcome to another edition of the Steve Truman Golf newsletter from Llanwern, South Wales best members club! 

This week Scottie has been busy hob-nobbing with the stars and we tell you if your putter is right for you. We hope you enjoy the read.

Pros Day & Hog roast 

Only 2 days to go until our Annual Pros Day followed by a fantastic Hog Roast and entertainment. The golf is now full but tickets are still available for the hog roast and entertainment. If you are planning on staying for the evening and partying with us all (we hope most of you are!!!) then we strongly encourage you to purchase tickets for the hog roast to avoid disappointment. The hog will cater for 150 so when the tickets have gone they have gone!! 

Fingers crossed for some good weather and we hope it will be a success like last years America Day. 

Myself, Scottie, Rhiannon
and the rest of the team look forward to welcoming you on Saturday.

Coaching news 

How can we help your game? 

Last week we asked what this device was. 

Put simply this is a launch monitor for putters that can help us to match the correct putter to your individual putting style. 

An iPhone 6 slides into the cradle then clips onto the putter shaft just below the grip. The PING app then works by computing consistency over a series of five putts where your stroke type, impact angle and tempo are measured, displayed and stored for every putt. 

As you can see in the picture, putters are all balanced differently. Some are face balanced and some hang toe down. Our job is to match up the correct putter style to your individual stroke. 

"The iPING app allows us to analyse your putting stroke more closely than ever. It works like a launch monitor for putters by measuring key aspects of your stroke to improve your consistency. It helps us fit you with the correct putter and besides that, it's a lot of fun to use and has several other features." 

The iPING app analyzes and displays your consistency onscreen using three criteria: stroke type (determined by how much the putter face rotates during the forward stroke); impact angle (the putter's face angle at impact, relative to address); and tempo (a measure of the duration of the backswing relative to the forward swing). 


   

   

The iPING Fit feature matches you with the PING putter models that fits your stroke type. Matching your putter to your stroke type is the key to greater consistency and lower scores. 

As putting accounts for around 40% of total shots in a round it could be a smart move to pop in store and find out how we can help you with your putting. We look forward to giving you a demonstration.

Scot's Celebrity Weekend 

Stars from the worlds of sport, showbiz and Llanwern Golf Club (Scottie!!) once again visited the Celtic Manor for a weekend of fun and frolics for the Celebrity Cup. 

Scot was invited to coach in the tented village and it looks like he had a blast. Introducing golf to people and ensuring they play with a smile on their face will soon be one of Scots major strengths. 

Scot was also proudly flying the Llanwern flag telling everybody about our fantastic course and facilities we have just down the road.
