Hi ,

Welcome to our August issue of your territory newsletter! We will keep you up to date on all jnjg’s latest news, events and golfing tips.

What a great few months of golf. The State Championships were again great to be apart of and watching the future champions of our game put their abilities to the test against the best from across the country and across the ditch. Well done to all competitors who took part in this event.

This month's tip is about what you take away from watching videos, reading magazines and even listening to a lesson happening on the range while you are practicing. Too often I hear players trying something they saw on television, on the internet or something they read in a magazine. The tips that are given out are very generalised. Drills are usually placed in magazines to help a specific problem. Too often I see pepole working on drills they have seen for a swing that does not require that drill. 

Always remember that the best advice is from your local PGA Member or Community Coach. 

Good luck and happy golfing.

Nowra Junior Open

A wet course greeted the competitors for the 2015 Nowra Junior Open. This was the first time the Nowra Golf Club has held a Junior Open for over 30 years. It was great to see the whole community rally behind the event making it a huge success.
