A 'Girls' Golfing Gig' was held at 'The Ash'.
Eight girls (pictured above) arrived for the gig, all eager to play on a fine, fairly breezy afternoon. First off the tee, were Ffion Evans (Newport Links) with Laura Evans (Glyn Abbey), who played 12 holes, from the ladies' tees.
Ffion edged in front of Laura, by just two points. Both girls had good drives off the first tee and some great putts were seen on the 6th green, too!
The second group had Kasumi Tran (Tenby), Lauren Hughes (Machynys) and newcomer Lucy Powell (Ashburnham) playing a shorter 6-hole fun competition from the 150-yard markers.
They were observed playing a variety of good shots on the fairways and greens.
In the last group, Lucy Anthony (Tenby), Megan Thomas (Carmarthen) and Beca Morgan (Ashburnham) also played some really good shots on the fairways and especially the 6th green.
Beca and Lucy remarked that they had improved by seven shots each from the previous Friday!
Megan Thomas (Carmarthen) emerged as the winner. Lucy Powell (Ashburnham) came third with 33 shots and the runner-up was Kasumi Tran (Tenby) with 27 shots.
Organiser Andrea Martin said: "There has been a definite improvement in all the girls' golf, from the end of last year's season, so we hope it will continue! A big thank you to all the adults, who helped with the groups and photographer Olivia Martin."

Former Gower MP Gareth Wardell the guest speaker at Llanelli Rotary Club

Image
Former Gower MP Gareth Wardell was the guest speaker at the weekly meeting of Llanelli Rotary Club held at the Stradey Park Hotel. Mr Wardell gave an illuminating address, weaving comparisons between his job as a politician and his late father's job as a Tumble barber. It was an amusing, highly-entertaining and thought-provoking address. Mr Wardell, now 69, won the Gower constituency seat in a Parliamentary by-election in 1982. The Labour MP held the seat until his retirement in 1997. He now works as a public affairs consultant in Wales. Mr Wardell's Parliamentary term was largely in opposition to Margaret Thatcher's Conservative Government. But his did make a significant contribution by being the youngest MP to chair the Welsh Affairs Select Committee. Mr Wardell recognised that in the 'fame stakes' he may have played second fiddle to his father, Jack, who was one of the UK's oldest barbers and who cut and styled hair for almost 80 years. Jac

Ammanford-based Lauryn Davey is making a major mark in the world of Welsh athletics. At just 16, she is the best all-round athlete of her age in Wales. She's chalking up Welsh championship victories and has been honoured by her club, the Carmarthen Harriers. Lauryn's been earmarked as a future international star, but knows the road to the big championships is difficult, demanding and expensive.
