Pro's news

Here we go again...

Lockdown take 2! We hope you and your families are all safe and well as we enter into our second major lockdown. Let’s hope it is only two weeks this time and we can get you all back on the golf course very soon.

If any members or customers need anything during the next couple of weeks please do get in contact and we will do anything we can to help out in any way possible. Even if it is just a chat on the phone we are here to help.

These past 6 months have certainly made us look at life a little differently and made us realise what is really important.

Our family, friends and extended golfing family at the club have all come together to make this whole strange experience a little less stressful getting through it together.

Being part of the Llanwern golfing family is special for so many reasons and this whole (damn Covid!) situation has highlighted it more than ever.

We will get through this if we help and support each other when it is needed the most. Please do your bit by supporting local shops and restaurants (when open again!) because it really does make a difference.

Being a small business owner myself the support form yourselves is essential for us to continue in business and we are so grateful always for your support.

So… let’s make the most of the next two weeks, set some goals, get plenty of exercise, learn a new skill, read a book, try not to eat and drink too much and make the most of it!

Stay safe, and see you all in a couple of weeks,

Steve, Scottie and Daf x

Golf on Tour

Hot streaks continue

Tyrrell Hatton followed up his impressive BMW PGA Championship win with a T3 on the PGA Tour over the weekend - not bad after a late dash across the pond following his Wentworth triumph! In Europe, Aaron Rai has finished first, second and third over his last four events.

Both men appear to have unlocked something in their game over recent weeks. Confidence? Rhythm? Swing changes? Sometimes, small changes can go a long way.

Our expertise means we can help you make that change to improve your game, no matter how big or small. So, click the button below to speak to us about a part of your game that you'd like to get better at.

Treat your feet

Some cynics (or golfers having a bad round) often say ‘Golf is a good walk spoiled’. In our opinion, golf only makes that walk better! Either way, if the walk must be spoiled then it should be by errant tee shots and three-putts, not by uncomfortable shoes.

Under Armour HOVR Drive GTX golf shoes

Well, apparently Under Armour feels the same way. Their lightweight HOVR foam midsole cushions your feet and supports your heel with every step. When you’re walking 18 holes, this cushioning feels like a real blessing.

You'll find this comfort across the brand's range, including the ever-popular HOVR Drive model. These are also made with a combination of a breathable Clarino upper and Gore-Tex waterproof protection, making them ideal for winter golf!

Bounce made simple

You’ll often hear golf commentators say “the bounce is your friend” but what is ‘bounce’ on a wedge? Well, it refers to the angle of the leading edge and plays an important role in how your wedge interacts with the turf through impact.

As the image shows above, the higher the wedge bounce the more the leading edge is off the ground and pointing upwards.

But how does this help you? Well, having the correct bounce for the course conditions and your swing type will offer additional forgiveness and promote a better strike, which is something that we can talk you through more in-store.

One thing we will say is that getting the correct bounce - as well as grind and loft - on any new wedges is really important.

This is where we can help. We can talk you through the options available within Callaway's Mack Daddy 5 RAW range and ensure you walk away with a wedge system that is designed to help you get up-and-down more often.
