🏌️♂️🍻 Heads Up, Swansea! Pennard Golf Club is in the spotlight after some lively, booze-fuelled antics have folks buzzing. This 130-year-old gem, nestled in the scenic Gower, is eyeing a licence to keep the drinks flowing for non-members until 11:30pm. But not everyone’s keen on the idea!
🍻 Four locals aren’t exactly jumping for joy, claiming the club’s boozy vibes have already spilled over the public line, with some claiming to witness tipsy drivers and noisy shenanigans. Concerns are growing over events turning into rowdy affairs with loud music and cheeky golfing challenges that might endanger unsuspecting passers-by.
🚗 The club’s application has got neighbours talking, with some worried it might shift from its golfing roots to resemble more of a public watering hole. Dr. Rees, an objector living 400m away, isn’t thrilled with the idea, pointing out that Gower isn’t the bustling Wind Street.
🎤 But don’t fret just yet! Pennard Golf Club is reassuring everyone that they’re all about responsible fun. Club vice-president Timothy Jones assures us the club is committed to being a good neighbour, highlighting their efforts to balance growth with peace. Efforts include early closing times in winter, marshals on the green, and vigilant bar staff ensuring underage patrons don’t get served.
📹 With CCTV keeping a watchful eye over the club’s area and a marshal on the ground, it’s clear they’re keeping tabs on the fun factor. Club manager Ceri Llewellyn is even proposing a direct line to staff for residents seeking some evening peace.
⚖️ As the local council mulls over the decision, the community waits to see if the laid-back golf haven will keep its cool or open the doors to a new after-hours adventure. Stay tuned for updates! ⏳
