Golf coach midlands

    Hi all

    I've recently moved down to mullingar and I'm looking to start with a new coach as I wasn't really happy with my old one and think this would be a good time to change. I'm just wondering if anyone has any good experiences with coaches down here or has anyone they could recommend? I would particularly like to hear from lower handicap golfers as i play off +1 and would be interested to hear some feedback.

    Anyone got any opinions in the midlands area! Wouldn't mind getting a few lessons myself soon . . (within an hour from the Athlone area is good for me, cheers)

    Mel Flanagan and his son Melvin Flanagan give lessons at the Mount Temple range outside Athlone.

    I get lessons with Melvin from time to time and am happy with his approach. He's not too technical and uses video which I find helpful.

    PM me if you want a contact number.
