Hello golfers, 

Wow, what a weekend...

 

Derek Pugh Club Championships

Last weekend we hosted the annual Derek Pugh Club Championships played over two days. This is one of the most anticipated weekends of the season and it certainly didn't disappoint. Firstly we had a record entry on day one with 191 competitors playing. This was at 99% capacity which is an incredible effort from our great members. Day two also saw a very healthy entry of 170 competitors who all enjoyed the event and also the great condition the course was in, particularly the greens. 

Congratulations to all winners and also to Jack Davidson who was up to his old tricks on the Sunday!

Jack secured another career achievement and one he has wanted for a long time, shooting an impressive 63 (7 under par) in the 2nd round of the Men's Club Championship. 

This means that Jack has set a fantastic New Course Record, and I'm sure it will be the first of many. Looking through the score card it looked like a very impressive round to watch, especially with a start of 4 birdies! 

Speaking to Jack's playing partners and the groups following Jack, he was on another level on Sunday. 

All we can say is a huge congratulations from myself, Scot, Rhi, all of the staff and, of course, all of our members.

Nearest The Pin Special - The Golf Theatre

On Saturday we hosted a Nearest The Pin tournament in our state of the art Golf Theatre. It was extremely well-supported and it was great to see so many members enjoying the first class facility we have here at Llanwern. 

The eventual winner was one of the last players to have a go and long time member Phil Rees with an awesome shot to just over one foot, winning a dozen Titleist Pro V1's. He can be seen here in the pic kissing his newly custom fitted Callaway Apex irons, proving Custom fit irons really do work!

Perks Of The Job!

I often remind myself how lucky I am to be able to do a job that I love. And last week certainly reinforced that. 

A Tour winning Professional that I coach invited me for a round on the Celtic Manor 2010 course and we had a great day. 

It is very useful for me as a coach to see how players perform on the golf course, not just on the lesson tee. You can learn so much from this exercise and often learn a lot on why players are unable to take their driving range game to the course. 

If you struggle to play as well on the course as you do in practice then perhaps this could be the solution.
