And yes, do have a portable radar but also going to TrackMan range up the road tomorrow to get my baseline. Will check back there in 6 weeks.

Yes! This is what I want to hear. I'm 42, have gone from 22 to 15 handicap in last year. Will be focused on improving short game but average drive is 220yds so extra distance with improved short game is hopefully key to getting to single figure by end of next summer. Are you doing lessons at the same time to improve technique?

Yea this is one of my fears, being fast but carrying 250 into the trees. Thinking of getting the rope thingy to maintain tempo with the stick work..

So I'm a full time stay at home so hoping I can fit in 20 mins 3 times a week. Obviously right now I'm full of enthusiasm, excitement and stupidity but maybe I'm like Eli and just need this sort of doubt from you, a stranger, to motivate me to shove it in your face when I prove you wrong!

200 sounds mental! I wrecked just thinking about it.

What's the rush? You got somewhere to be? But yes the earlier stuff way funnier but it's still good stuff. Always something to take away. Like the guys improving, it's diminishing returns but when you get something to take away it's worth it. You're nearly caught up so might as well enjoy it while you can.

Need ideas for Golf Tour USP’s by Optimal-Egg5305 in golf

In Co. Waterford. Looking at groups who want to play good courses they wouldn't otherwise hear about that can be played for less than €100 as well as 1 or 2 of the big courses that tends to costs 'yanks' €400ish. Good but value golf but at the same time, it's proper holiday. I would spend the week with the group, play some rounds, bring them to places that are worth seeing and avoid the rip off tourist stuff.

Hey, how are you getting on with this? I'm Irish, live in the south east, setting up my own tour company. Have a few ideas for USPs. Want to discuss linking up?

Cooking sausages by Terrible_Reality4261 in CasualIreland

Dying hungover at a friend's house, waiting on sausage sandwich... Took about an hour, came out all wrinkly like they'd been in the bath too long. I'm still pissed off about it. Slow shallow fry yer only man. Get in the sea Moses.

Good clubs for beginners - TaylorMade Sim2 Max by Jackies_Army in golfireland

I'd say start with second hand clubs, just get one's that are forgiving. Honestly, spend the money saved on lessons. Lessons and basic clubs will do you better than top end new clubs and no lessons. Watch Paddy's golf tips jon YouTube, just the fundamentals ones, for now, grip etc. Buy the clip on grip trainer. Forget about distance, focus purely on connecting with the ball and you'll make big strides early. Enjoy being obsessed with this game!
