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!

    • That’s totally fair. I have my chipping issues which make my putter more playable in that situation. Really just confirming that while not optimal there comes a point where if you need to use a putter (for whatever reason) then the optimal mechanics breaks down. I know I’m a sample of one. 😂
    • Day 329 - 2025-08-26 Hit 24 balls before lessons and JEP Summer Session. With the MP-33. 🙂 Put an undersized grip on my VR Pro accidentally.
    • Well, that's not really a putt at that point. You could easily choose to putt that up the slope with a hybrid or something.
    • Day 15 (August 26).  I missed practice yesterday, but otherwise had a 14-day streak going into it.  Somehow, some of my posts for this appear in my profile but I can't seem to see them (I hope I didn't break any rules that would cause them to be removed).  I am hoping I'll be able to keep doing some practice while I'm out to regain the red text.  Context:  am on vacation, this week with friends.  What was today's actual practice? Today, a friend and I decided to go to TopGolf;  it was kind of like being at the range with someone else's clubs.  And that's ultimately how I was able to use it for practice:  I don't practice choosing a target, lining up to it, and then hitting often enough;  that's what this place seems to be about.  In any case, we were there for 90 minutes, I was hitting for maybe 35-40 minutes of that time, and I did pick a target each time.
    • Day 2 - (26 Aug 25) - Church men’s golf nine hole Captains choice.  Had grandson as part of our group - was a blast watching him drill the putts.  Love these no pressure sessions - great for going outside the norm on club selection.
