    Hi all,
    Would anybody be aware of a PGA approved golf pro who is available to give tuition during 9 or 18 holes? Location is North County Dublin.
    I see GUI Academy have morning tuition session, lunch and 18 holes with the PGA tutor after for €179 in Carton House, its on the gui.ie website.
    Thanks in advance.

    You could try Krishna in Hollywood Lkes or Sid Baldwin who used to be pro there and I've used a few years ago. Sid worked out of Lusk or Airport ranges but I'm sure could get you out on a course too.

    Don't see why any Club Pro wouldn't make himself available if you are willing to dig deep in the pockets!

    Just had a look at that and it looks like excellent value. I would be interested to know tough how many students per Pro on the actual round..If it's one on one then it sounds like a great deal..3 or 4 students per Pro might not be so good though

    I'm a member in Carton, the green fee is €75 during summer so the cost of lunch and a pro with you for day is only 100 quid

    On course lessons are expensive. If you want to benchmark
    Barry Power will do a two hour 9 hole lesson at Portmarnock Links
    for €300. Includes green fee so may be open to negotiation if you got a slot at a reduced green fee rate.

    Geoff Loughrey in Roganstown is a bit cheaper than that!

    the lads at elm green do it
    walking around the course with arnold might take a few days though - suggest you bring some ear plugs as well

    Hi, new to posting but i dont know have you heard of Joe Murray, he's affiliated with Hollystown, he's excellent IMO. Very easy to talk to, has a new video swing monitor and does offers on 9 holes and im sure he'll put the two together for ya. Not sure how much but would be fairly competitive, worth a look.

    Joe has done wonders for a friend of mine, I see the results every week , he turned my friend into a fairly competent player from some one who has no natural talent for the game.
