The 19th Hole!

Great news this week is that everybody's favourite hole has re-opened!

Llanwern's famous barman, Peter Malpas has been brought back to the fore to serve you what has been described by a few members as 'The Best Pint They Have EVER Had'!

I have to say, I had a cheeky pint on Monday evening after work and they are not far wrong. I'm sure a lot of you will be re-hydrating after your round this weekend.

All we ask you please respect the rules and have a great time.

New Stock Alert - Nike have landed

Just landed in the store are some beauties from Nike. We don't expect these to hang around long so be quick.

Wearing this doesn't guarantee you will play great but at least you will look good!

We are trialing Nike at the minute and if the demand is there we will be looking to get a lot more stock in.

Pop in and take a look and remember our Price Promise to ensure you are also getting great value for money.

We look forward to seeing you in the shop soon.

What's in the Box?

Lots of lovely new Llanwern Crested Polo shirts is what's in the box!

These literally just arrived as I was writing the newsletter. I am biased but it is a lovely collection to choose from and the crested polos are as little as £25 each as part of a multibuy deal.

Golf on Tour

Tiger returns!

Tiger Woods made his return to golf at The Memorial Tournament, playing at a Jack Nicklaus-designed course alongside Rory McIlroy and Brooks Koepka. That’s pretty cool!

Muirfield Village, better known as Jack’s Place, proved to be a brutal beast. 3-over was enough to make the cut and even-par enough for a share of 10th, with even the world’s best notching double and triple bogeys.

Jon Rahm became just the second Spaniard in history, behind Seve Ballesteros, to become World No.1 after a convincing victory in Ohio. Despite going +5 on Sunday’s back-nine, Rahm cruised to a three-stroke win.

Rahm’s final score of -9 will not jump off the page of PGA Tour winners, but numbers could never tell the story of just how much Jack’s Place demanded.

Gapping: How, what & why?

How well do you know each club in your bag? Perhaps more importantly, how well do you know your entire set? Your clubs are not individual tools, so it's always useful to look at them as a set to identify any problematic areas.

We’ve all taken out the wrong club from time to time and found ourselves hitting far too long or too short. The frustration is unrivalled!

By coming for a gapping session, you'll leave with the knowledge of how far each club in your bag actually travels. Wave goodbye to the plus or minus 10-yard guesses!

This sort of knowledge will fill you with confidence that you have the right club in your hand, whether laying-up off the tee or attacking a flag.

A good side note of coming for a gapping session is that we will find any yardages that you don't have covered, as well as any clubs that go the same distance - a real waste!

Spikeless comfort on the course

You simply cannot beat a hot summer day on the golf course. Of course, if you want to soak up the sun whilst strolling the fairways, you’ll need to feel comfortable underfoot.

FootJoy's Contour Casual golf shoes

Comfort is arguably the most important factor to consider when buying new golf shoes - we are walking for over four miles after all!

The FootJoy Contour Casual and FJ Flex spikeless golf shoes are two of the best shoes that tick this box.

FootJoy's FJ Flex golf shoes

In addition to comfort, their spikeless outsoles offer fantastic grip whilst you're hitting shots and allow you to wear them away from the course too.

Visit the pro shop for a first-hand look or browse the full range on our website below.

Video of the Week

We've gone back through the vault and found this fantastic video from The European Tour that dates back a few years. We all know how far technology has come in recent times, but can a robot beat one of the best golfers on the planet? Well, watch this week's video to find out!

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