    I started my set today with a Wilson 3 and 5 wood today from McGuirks, getting a bag, driver and irons hopefully early in the week. Went to the driving range in Leopardstown just after and I found the 5 wood to be quite manageable for me (beginner with a small bit of pitch and putt over the years). The 3 wood I was struggling with but hopefully many more visits to the range to come.
    I'm pretty much in the same position as you ( used to go to the driving range regular and P&P over the last 6mths) but I've gotten out for 4 games of golf since I started a few weeks back.

    I find the 3W hard to hit now aswell even though I used to hit it well at the driving range,the 5w I can hit fairly well still.

    Adverts.ie has some great deals on it for irons and all other golfing gear. I got my Cleaveland Hi Bore 5wood and golf trolley off it:)

    Ah nice,I have the Wilson Staff 1200 GE effect set so they should be similar and I find them good when I connect right,envious of the driver though. I'm going to test a few in the next few weeks to see if I have the right type for myself.

    Best of luck with your first round:)

    With huge thanks to charlieIRL, today I now have my first full set of clubs. Wilson Staff Di9 irons and a TaylorMade R9 driver to go with the woods I got yesterday and a putter I've had from pitch and putt. All sitting nicely in a Callaway bag :)

    I've seen him hitting those irons, they should have been decommished with the amount of trouble they brought :)

    Only messing, welcome to golf Dr. and fair play Charlie... Hope he roped you into the Boards Golf Society while he was at it.

    Bought a 58 degree Nike VR wedge. Marked down from 75 to 50 in Halpenny. Never liked the sand wedge that I got with my Nike VR cavity set so have wanted to replace it since day one. This wedge is more muscleback than cavity back and feels way less clunky than the old one.

    With the way you were hitting those irons on the range tonight you are going to have many happy rounds of golf. Best of luck and will definitely see you for a few rounds.

    I tried a pair of ecco shoes on before and I have to say I haven't ever worn anything as comfortable, the only reason I didnt buy them was due to the one I wanted not being in.

    It's the first time for me to own a pair of these type that you can wear in the club house. I have always been a full golf shoe person. I am truly converted. Totally water proof too.

    Impulse buy on Saturday morning as I walked passed the shop in the Spawell, can't go wrong for €50 (RRP €60 but I have the loyalty card with Carr golf)

    Edit: I suppose it could go wrong :) but it seems sturdy enough

    Got a call today from the company in the UK to say they were out of stock of the putter I ordered & so was Odyessy. They then offers a free upgrade to this one, which I happily accepted! Fair play to them as they could have easily just offered a refund.

    Nice customer service. Have you used them much before this? If yes, how have you found them in general?

    I am a lefty myself and hadn't come across the site until today so might be useful in the future.

    I think they are pushing it with the Left Handed Polo Shirt though :pac:

    No, it was my first time using them. He rang first thing this morning as I only ordered it on-line last night. Very chatty & knowledgeable about the product. He said he got approval for the upgrade before phoning.

    I did notice the left hand shirts alright. It's a bit like buying a left hand drive motor bike!

    I also noticed they do left handed training aids which always seem to be only for the righties.

    Wow!! That is exactly the putter type I am after, well the metallic one, rather than the black one. Plus right handed. It'll be a couple of weeks before I can get it, I presume they are in shops in Ireland?

    I have to say after using the newly delivered putter today, it is the best putter I have ever used in my life. The weight, feel, look, grip is just perfect. Even let a few righties use it on the practice green & they were all very impressed.

    picked up one of these three or so weeks ago, its a Adams DHY proto, more a driving Iron than a hybrid, as I found I couldn't control the flight of my hybrid to much so I wanted something that had a lower ball flight with more control, and this thing does exactly that!!! low bombs and easy to shape. have it fitted with a UST Mamiya VTS stiff shaft.

    Picked up a Taylormade R9 460 9.5 for €60 out of MCGuirks 2nd hand and a set of second hand 3-PW like new R11 Irons.

    Tested alot of the newer irons but the R11's feel like they'll keep me going for years compared to the others.

    Around that time of year where I clear the money in my golf account in the club. Another shockingly profitable year with loads more clubs and stuff bought without me dropping a penny. Today I am fairly chuffed, cause I got something I'd never buy with my own cash.

    A Scotty Cameron Select putter. I'm putting lovely this year with my Taylor Made Ghost, but said ****it I'd get one anyway, they hold a good resale value. Same putter as my Da so having used it a few times for a mess, know I'm buying something I can definitly use.

    Threw the change on my account onto a pair of Footjoy Sport ( I think their called) shoes aswell ;) Early christmas for me, and the club account drained for another year :D (Close to €670 made this year)

    Not around I'm afraid. You'll do well to get in by dark, no? Have fun anyway. Rathsallagh or The European Club beckon this weekend I reckon, the local likely to be on temporary greens.
