IT was double delight for two North Wales Golf Club members at a recent awards ceremony.

Robin Hughes and Shauna Lyons scooped honours from the Welsh Golf Awards at the Celtic Manor Hotel for their outstanding work at the Llandudno facility.

Hughes won the Golf Development Wales PGA Professional of the Year, having had 10,000 people attend his sessions at the club and in the community.

There was further success in the form of Lyons, who collected the Volunteer of the Year award. She is junior club captain at the club and helps to run five junior sessions a week with players ranging from 4-17.

The ceremony was held in the Samuel Ryder Suite at the 2010 Clubhouse and was sponsored by One Golf Network, a marketing and distribution network for golf clubs.

Hughes, aged 28, said: “We had a lot of different groups, all totally different, and from that I got to work with the elite players at county level as well.

“I am starting to take this to other local golf courses, working with juniors, beginners and ladies.

“I will be fully qualified at the end of the year and want to have my own academy, I love teaching and feel as long as I can get people there then they will continue playing golf.”

Lyons, aged 17, added: “I did not expect this, I just do it because I enjoy it, it is one big family where I am so to get recognition shows what I am doing is good and helping golf develop further into the future.

“I started getting into it through my school, you have to do 30 hours through my PE course, so I was looking at golf as somewhere to do that.”
