Ty Hafan
Recently Mr Captain, Julian, Ruth Morris and Mike Mahoney visited the Ty Hafan Hospice to present to them the money that was raised during the Charity Day held a few weeks ago. All of them had an enjoyable experience, they were able to see the brilliant facilities and all the hard work the staff do there day in day out.
After their visit they had an even bigger drive now to raise even more money next year! £3,383 was raised during this years Charity Day and a big ‘Thank You' goes out to everyone who supported the event either by playing golf, buying raffle tickets or even donating prizes - everything was greatly appreciated.
Over the last 20 years £49,799 has been raised by Llanwern Golf Club so again a 'BIG THANK YOU' to everyone for the support over the years and long may it continue into the future.

Winter Leagues
Last Sunday saw the start of the Cock O North and PM leagues. We were certainly blessed with the weather and long may that continue throughout the season. It was great to see everybody in high spirits filled with optimism for the 2016/ 17 competitions. Apart from the odd hangover, Sunday was pretty event free but I'm sure that will change as the season progresses. When it does we will ensure the events are well documented in the newsletter with people being named and shamed a priority!
To let members know who are not playing in the winter leagues the golf course is closed on Sunday mornings until 12.30 pm. Please also be aware that the 3rd tee is the official starting point on a Sunday.
It didn't disappoint
Apart from the comfortable 17-11 score line in the Americans' favour, the 2016 Ryder Cup didn't disappoint. From the USA's Friday morning whitewash to McIlroy and Reed's enthralling ding-dong encounter on Sunday, we were treated throughout the three days.
"I've never seen golf of this quality before"
"We are watching golf you can only dream about"
These were just a couple of plaudits from the commentators during Sunday's play, one of which was from Ryder Cup veteran and 2014 Captain Paul McGinley. The level of golf really was that good. Take Garcia and Mickelson's titanic battle for example; they were a combined 14-under-par for their round - that's a scintillating 58.
Pressure? What pressure?
In what can only be described as a cauldron of emotions, the atmosphere was on the edge all week. Fist-pumps, heckling and shushing aside, the players' ability to produce their best golf in that situation was amazing and is something we can all learn from.
The key to performing under pressure - whether that's the Ryder Cup or in our Monthly Medal - is to have a consistent pre-shot routine. It is probably one of the most overlooked parts of the game, but it really will help to keep you calm and focused no matter the situation.
What's your pre-shot routine?
