How many of you US golfers have played in the UK/Ireland? I was at Lahinch last summer and it was full of Amercians - good to see them too!

Get yourself over - play an old links, a very different game indeed!

i've made the trip--played a local public parkland track outside the telford area, but the big dog of the trip was making it out to Royal Liverpool - Hoylake 3 months before the Open Championship was there in July 2006.

safe to say i can't wait to make it back but will make it up to Scotland and over to Ireland too...

I played in 2007 in the Liverpool, Lake District area and plan to go back... when the exchange rate gets better. $8/gal gas, err... petrol. Ouch.

Wales looks like a good spot for golf - not as many well known courses, so less crowded and better value.

I love the speed of play over there. And for those who are going - not one course asked me for my USGA card to check my handicap.

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

Played Wentworth outside London a week ago and it was a very nice course. Probably a lot better when the flowers are all out. Some very odd food choices at the half way house...

      Day 242 4-19 correct hip/chest movement in backswing. Less hip turn more chest turn. Did a bit of wrist arch stuff as well.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      First round at Quail Ridge: 47 + 47 = 94 *Note: It was 25+ mph winds with gust in the 35+ mph. It was also around 58 degrees. I felt like I was out in Oregon. The greens were very firm.  Driver was decent. It didn't cause me an issues.  Irons were the biggest issue. Just low point control was lacking. Mostly on the chunky side. Also, my irons were routinely 20-30 yards shorter than normal. Even on holes with a cross wind, the ball was just dying. We played an extra 9 holes after the first 18, and the wind died down by then. I stepped into a 9 iron, and it came up 15 yards short. I have no clue what is going on. I should not be hitting 9 irons 140 yards when I am hitting my driver 300 to 310 yards.  Warmup didn't give me much confidence. I just kept shanking every other iron shot. I didn't shank an iron during the round. I just felt all out of sorts today. Coordinate felt off.  yea, I have no idea if I am purposely slowing down my swing to feel my downswing piece. Again, I hit a decent 9 iron and lost 15 yards of carry. I hope this is just an off day.
