Time Flies

Exactly a year and 3 days ago Jack Davidson was teeing it up representing GB & I against America in the Walker Cup putting himself and Llanwern on the international stage. His professionalism and dedication to the game of golf is outstanding not only on the course but off it as well. Jack holds Llanwern very close to his heart and we as staff and members would like to thank you Jack for the continued great work you have done in your first season as a Professional and how proud we all are of you.

Keep up the great work Jacko.

Course news

Tee work

Due to the adverse weather conditions over the summer months the tee boxes like all other courses have suffered.

Gareth and his team have made the decision to carry out renovation work on the tee boxes as soon as possible to take advantage of the warm and wet weather in September.

The renovation work will consist of: Overseeding, Fertilizing and Hollow Coring.

To guarantee no disruption to the planned renovation and accelerate the healing process several yellow and red tee boxes have been moved onto the winter mats. The white tee boxes will remain on the tees.

Gareth and his team appreciate your cooperation with this mater.

Finals weekend results

Last weekend saw 3 finals being played and from what I can gather some great golf was played.

Rob Williams, who is having a fantastic season, narrowly beat Dai ‘The Ledge’ Lee in the very tough conditions to win the Captain’s Prize.

Gareth Pardue beat Chris Abako in the Rabbits Cup and Chris Harries beat Jo Waite in a closely fought final in the Ladies Club Championship. Well done to all finalists.

Congratulations are in order!

I would like to say a massive congratulations to client and friend Carol Peterson on winning the Audi National finals last week at Bowood park. Carol now goes onto the Audi World Finals being held in Austria and no expense at all is being spared by Audi!

Carol is being chauffeur-driven to Heathrow in a limo (probably an Audi one!) and flying first class to Austria for four days to compete against competitors from as far afield as Australia all expenses paid.

Well done Carol I am proud of you and we wish you the very best of luck in Austria.

Course Pics

One of our members Lee Peterson has caught some cracking early morning pics of the course recently. If you have any pics we would love to see them.

You can either post them on our social media or email them into us here.

Titleist Speed Project arriving soon

As the name suggests, Titleist's new metalwoods are all about speed and distance. If you're an avid watcher of golf on TV, you may have seen some of the world's best golfers - Justin Thomas, Jordan Spieth and Adam Scott to name a few - using the new TS woods from Titleist over the past few months. Well, we're delighted to announce they'll be landing in-store this month so that you can add some distance to your game. If you want to be one of the first to try them, get in touch via the button below.

In your sight

Sightlines on putters might seem like a nice design, but they are there for a reason as they help you aim your putts more accurately, and help you centre the ball on your putter. But with so many different styles, it can be hard to know which one will aid you the most.

It’s up to you
If you’re a fan of the classic blade putters, why not try Cleveland’s Huntington Beach 1 model?

Striking the centre of the ball is made simple with a single sightline on the blade’s cavity. You’ll also have a more consistent roll with your putts, thanks to the precision milled face that is a key feature on Cleveland's putters.

Something different
Alternatively, if you prefer a more modern look, try out Cleveland’s TFI 2135 Satin Rho putter.

The raised sightline on this range of putters helps you to align the putter more easily, regardless of where your eyes are over the ball. Another great feature is the contrasting white sightline on a black backdrop, resulting in improved focus every time.

Having a ball

When you’re watching the pros you’ll often see them hitting shots with amazing distance off the tee, along with plenty of spin from around the green. The way they strike the ball helps achieve this, but the ball itself is a crucial component of their game.

New: 2018 Srixon Soft Feel

Here are two great options worth trying for a round or two. The new Srixon Soft Feel has been designed for players wanting to hit the ball further with more control, but without paying a premium price tag.

New: 2018 Srixon UltiSoft

The updated UltiSoft ball combines soft feel and extreme distance at an affordable price. It's ideal for players with mid-to-low swing speeds, who are seeking great feel around the greens, a higher launch and maximum distance off the tee.

We hope you enjoyed the newsletter and have a great weekend. Steve and the shop team.
