Family-run golf centre left underwater in flooding weeks after being hit by lightning

A golf centre as been submerged as chaotic weather has swept over Wales. It comes after months of uncertainty for the business, which is now reaching breaking point.

Hensol Golf Academy in Cowbridge has experienced problem after problem recently, with no phone lines, and no internet for over a month. The only way they can make phone calls is by ringing people on WhatsApp when they are on the site.

This came after lightning struck the site on Black Friday, leaving them completely disconnected and costing them thousands of pounds to try and sort out. And now they are facing a flooded golf driving range after the nearby River Ely burst its banks, and there is no telling how long they are going to be impacted for.
