HI! My name is Andrew and as you can tell I am from Ireland. I'm currently 20 years old and have been playing golf for about 5 or 6 years. I have (generally) been improving all the time and currently play off 11. I've visited these forums a few times over the last while and eventually decided to sign up. There is some really good discussion. I made a deal with my dad that if i can get to single figures before he gets off 28 I can get custom fit for a new set of clubs, so it's nice to have a good goal to work towards. If I get a chance I'll take some videos of my swing for the my swing thread to hear what ideas everyone has (is an iPhone video enough for that or does the quality need to be higher?)

Looking forward to the conversations!

Welcome to TST, I'm sure you'll enjoy your time here.  Just a few weeks ago I toured along the west of Ireland, from Ballyliffin to Waterville, and had a great time.

I ha a read through the thread actually. Sounded like a great trip! Haven't played a huge amount over that side of the country, however I have played Enniscrone. It must have been the nicest day they have ever had, not a breath of wind. Resulted in one of my best rounds ever, although i was playing off a much higher handicap. I pretty much exclusively play on the South side of Dublin and almost all of the rounds are Inter-club matches. I'm glad you enjoyed the trip across and hopefully will return!

      Awesome. We were originally going to play Quail Ridge but ended up moving some things around and are going to do the following when we go in May Day 1 Tobacco Road Day 2 Southern Pines and Pine Needles Day 3 Tot Hill Farm There are a couple good course vlog/matches on YouTube at Southern Pines, it looks awesome.

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I got two trips lined up this year.  First, Pinehurst next month. Qual Ridge, Mid Pins, Southern Pines 😁, Mid South, Talamore. I am looking forward to playing Southern Pines since it got redone.  Second, a trip to eastern Wisconsin in early August. Whistling Straights, Blackwolf Run, Erin Hills.

      3 Wood Shafts

      By saevel25 · Posted

      You are probably doing the right thing in having more fairway woods or hybrids in your bag than irons. Just easier to maximize ball speed for you swing speed to get the proper gaps.  A driver is teed up, so you have more leeway there. The 7-wood is probably more optimized for carry for you. A slower swing speed needs higher launch and spin to keep the ball in the air. With the 3-wood, it probably launches too low with not enough spin to keep it in the air.  If you are not going to go get lessons, or do some sort of swing speed training, go get fitted for clubs. Clearly your mix-match of equipment is not optimized.

      Can Somebody Explain to Me Why Lie Angle Balanced Putters Are Important?

      By saevel25 · Posted

      32 putts are average for a single digit handicap golfer. Limiting three putting is the biggest task. Speed control is the most important aspect of putting. Probably the 2nd most important is aim.  The putter is going to rotate open a bit on the backstroke. It might stay square to the arc of the putting stroke, but that does mean the face opens up a bit on the backstroke when measured against where the face is oriented at address. Go get a putter lesson as well.

      Keep us up to date with your findings, please.  I'm not looking for a putter, but I'm sure you're not alone in your venture to get the putts rolling better.
