Their trolley and bags are still a very good price though. County Golf is still my go to. They won't deliver to Ireland directly anymore but I always went through AddressPal anyway. You will pay VAT through AddressPal since January but I bought a full Adidas Waterproof set for less than €100 all in, paid something like €12 in VAT on it. I got stung for VAT & customs on one order but that was due to An Post mis valuing the stuff, I claimed off them, took ages but got a refund eventually. They're selling last years kit usually but that makes no difference to me. Aside from there I've heard Clubhouse Golf is very good too. I've found the Irish sites to be ridiculously overpriced for clothes for some reason.

You also mentioned that you were stung with customs charges as well, was that just in error? Thanks for any help on this - the prices there are very competitive so I’m just trying to work out what the catch might be and calculate the total cost.

Less than 200yd drives will make Headfort New a long round for anyone, they probably should have tried the senior tees for pace of play but considering we're just back I'll hold the anger inside for a few weeks haha

There was a society not much better ahead of them. But the two lads hadn't hit a drive more than about 180 yards all day and are waiting for the green to clear on a short 320 yard Par 4 before teeing off. Or waiting for lads to clear the green when they are 250 yards out, absolute madness. We were at 4 hours after 13holes so skipped 14,15,16 and played 17 & 18. On 18 behind one of the society groups. Par 5 with water to consider on your second shot. Fella eventually puts his seventh shot into the water. Look not a big deal, but every shot was leave the bag 10 yards away from the ball, out with the rangefinder, back to the bag, standing miles behind the ball lining up the shot, 4 practice swings. Duff it 20 yards. Repeat. Couldn't hack that every week. I don't mind playing with people who aren't good (I'm one of them sure) but just be quick.
