Ashburnham to welcome PGA members

The Ashburnham Championship Links golf course in Pembrey is playing its part in a revival of the South Wales PGA, Professional Golfers' Association.
Adam Constable, twice winner of the Young Welsh Professional Championship, is behind the project.
The Cardiff assistant is organising a series of medals events for the early part of this year.
"We are delighted to be playing our part in this revival," said Ashburnham club manager Huw Morgan.
"It's great to see the professionals from different clubs in Wales getting together and playing quality courses."
The first event is at Ashburnham Golf Club on February 6 (tee-off from 10.30-11.30am), followed by a visit to Tenby on February 20 (10.48am-noon) and Cardiff on March 7 (10-11am).
Constable, who is seeking entries from Welsh PGA members, said: “I am waiting for conformation of venues for two other fixtures. The last strokeplay event is likely to be the championship in early April and there will also be a qualifier for the Graham Poor Matchplay.”

Spotlight on charity golfers

Charity golfers in the spotlight - http://www.thisissouthwales.co.uk/Golfers-drive-causes-forward/story-13861194-detail/story.html

Golfers who were in the swing to raise money for charity have benefited five organisations.
The Burry Port Charity Fund held their sixth annual charity golf day to raise money for community-based groups.
The event, which was held in August at the Ashburnham Golf Club, attracted 27 teams and raised almost £3,000 for the cause.
The beneficiaries this year were Burry Port AFC Juniors, Burry Port RFC Juniors, Ashburnham Golf Club Juniors, Burry Port Town Band and the Burry Port Male Voice Choir.
TAD Builders were presented with the Christian Ford Memorial Trophy.
Charity organiser Peter Lawlor said: "This year's benefactors were selected by virtue of the current economic situation and the enforced council cutbacks. They each received cheques up to the value of £500."
He said the money was to help people who donate their spare time freely for the benefit of others and, though not specifically to introduce more junior members, this was a consideration.
Mr Lawlor said: "The RFC, AFC and Ash were to use the money to introduce the next generation of young members and to help with travelling costs where needed.
"The town band suggested that they would look to purchase instruments specifically for junior members.
"The choir are celebrating 50 years and would like to use it to assist with publicity and support."
The Burry Port Charity Fund has been raising cash for various good causes since 2008.
Over the years, it has helped tee up around £12,000 for organisations in the area.
