I've been going to Fred since about last September, massive improvement in my all-round game

Below is my experience of Fred, as per my post in another thread.


3) How much lessons have you had - did you even stick with a coach - how did you make that big breakthrough ?

Early days while improving i didn't take much lessons, though around 12yr old i got selected for GUI coaching by David Kinsella at weekend sessions which improved my basics. The only coach ive stuck to is Fred Twomey in Cork since 2006. He was responsible for me getting to another level regarding playing for ireland etc. In 2009 we sat down and looked at why id stood still for a few years, yes id won tournaments and played Interprovincials but there was something missing. We took a huge amount of stats for that year and looked at them in late 2009, it was obvious i was too one dimensional as i hit everything right to left, so was missing a lot of shots to the right under pressure (a result of not releasing the club).
We set about trying to neutralise my ball flight that winter, 2010 was a disaster golf wise.... no wins, didn't contend in any c ships but my ball was behaving so we stuck with it.
Then 2011 it just clicked, i was hitting the ball both ways at ease, i was also fitter that year more than any. My worst finish in any event that whole year was 7th, was unbeaten in Home internationals and Interprovincials- It was a year of such high confidence i genuinely felt unbeatable. So Fred Twomey basically turned me into the player i wanted to be.

A real gent,doesn't over complicate things and works with you rather than forcing his ideas on you.You won't regret going to Fred,I didn't!

went for my first lesson with Fred yesterday. absolutely delighted with it. the first coach that pointed out my problems and set up a plan of action rather than just giving me a quick fix. Can't wait to get working on the few drills I got off him and for next lesson. €40 for about 45-50 mins is great value to. Got a feeling that he's there to help you become golfer you want to be rather than make money for himself!

Havnt been to him in a good while now!! Just been working away on the few drills he gave me, although my handicap hasn't improved much my ball striking is so much better and so much more consistant, thinking of going back in next week or two for a quick look at things and one final push at getting to single figure before qualifying finishes!

Lesson booked for Saturday, one last push to reach single figures before qualifying finished!! Watch out in Fota Lads
