 Dear Golfer,
Don't think that all the glory is going to the mighty Celtic Manor as it hosts the big one next month. The latest legacy for Wales was opened at Llanyrafon Municipal golf course, near Cwmbran. This is a chip and a putt from the Twenty Ten course where European and American teams will battle it out for the honours.
Where is Llanyrafon you may well ask ... well it has been significantly upgraded to provide an excellent facility for learning the game and with Ryder Cup Wales Legacy money it has new drainage, refurbished bunkers, practice nets, all weather tees and signage. The par three course is one of the busiest in Wales with more than 20,000 visitors a year and these improvements will help the course stay open in all winds and weather. In total the £2m Legacy Fund, financed by the Welsh Assembly Government as part of the successful bid, has helped to build over 200 new holes and 32 new chipping and putting greens. This is making golf accessible to all by providing new and improved high quality facilities for the 75,000 youngsters and over 25,000 adults introduced to the game, by Golf Development Wales.
It's great to see the Ryder Cup having such a positive effect on golf in Wales. Fingers crossed we will all be celebrating a big win come the 10th October...
Have a great month! |
