Lottie's experience...
Llanwern’s young rising girlie got chosen to represent Wales in the quadrangular squad in Spain. Lottie Raymond who is already in the Wales Golf set up flew out on February 20th to the PGA Catalunya (classed as the Augusta of Europe) with the squad. Lottie had a full week of Practice rounds, Strategy meetings and coaching along with our Nations which included Scotland, Ireland and Holland before playing each other in the team matches. A great experience for Young Lottie who puts a lot of time and effort into her game which is certainly paying off. Keep up the good work Lotts, I’m sure 2020 will be a great year for you!

Until then have a great remainder if the week and a fantastic weekend (if it don’t bloody rain)! |
Last week we revealed a remarkable statistic regarding the number of golfers playing grips that are over a year old, but what impact does that actually have on your game? Well, we decided to do some digging... |
 | | Tension whilst gripping |
Grips are made from rubber and are prone to wear and tear, just like the tyres on your car. When they become worn, your grips will lose tackiness and your hands will start to slip during the swing, resulting in poorer shots.
The thing is, you’ll likely overcompensate by holding on to your clubs too tight, creating more tension and stiffness during the swing.
|
 | | Limited time offer in-store now |
We know it sounds all doom and gloom, but it does make a huge difference to your game. That's why we're running this promotion at Llanwern Golf Club, so you can experience the benefits of a new grip first hand.
There’s no catch, just pop by the shop before your next round to take advantage. |
