Greetings golfers,

Welcome to another edition of our action packed e-newsletter giving you all the latest news, reviews and Scottie’s Special promotions from Llanwern Golf Club, South Wales friendliest golf club.

Enjoy the read!

The 3 R's

Our greenkeepers undoubtedly have a tough job and they don't get praised enough for their amazing work ethic. Gareth, Richard, Scott and Keenan have a thankless task at the best of times with the unpredictable weather often impacting on their maintenance programme and their final course presentation that we all see when we turn up for a knock. We are politely asking you all can we implement the 3 R's into our course etiquette.

You may ask yourself 'well what are the 3 R's?' Let me explain: Repair, Replace & Rake.

Repair your golf ball marks on the green so we can keep the greens looking amazing and in top playable condition. Replace your divots and the grass that you have hit from the fairway and rough and finally Rake the sand (bunkers) after you have taken your shot. The course is in great shape for this time of year and we would like to keep it that way, thank you for your time.

Loads of new goodies in the shop

These last few weeks has seen plenty of new stock arriving in the form of balls, clubs, clothing & balls, including some lovely new Nike golf shoes as worn by our very own Pro Jack Davidson! Plenty more goodies have also landed and proving very popular this past week with the rain is the full Nike waterproof suit (trousers and jacket) for only £129!

Another new arrival are the new Volvik golf balls. Click here to take a look at these bad boys!

If you are looking to make a statement on the golf course then look no further than these brand new arrivals in the shop!

This week’s Scottie’s Specials are packages centred around keeping yourself warm! It is crucial to keep your body warm, especially your muscles for optimum performance and to prevent injuries.
