Last month, I talked about developing flight-to-roll ratios around the greens. For your chipping clubs, you need to know how much of the shot is in the air and how much is on the ground. Then you can pick…

NO MORE CHUNKS AND SKULLS
An easy chipping fix with David Leadbetter
There are many reasons golfers struggle when chipping, but it's often the result of a breakdown of the wrist positions through impact. As the clubhead approaches the ball, the wrist of the trail arm flips and the wrist…
TOUR TECHNIQUE
Four shots to groove with your fairway wood
It's fairly common for golfers to limit their use of fairway woods to second shots on par 5s and tee shots on long par 3s. They might use them only a few times a round. That's a shame, because fairway woods are useful…

The resurrection of Moyvalley Golf club over the last eight years is placing the club on a much more secure footing after a few years of uncertainty and temporary relocation to Rathcore Golf Club. The club which opened in 2007 has had its peaks and troughs but finally seems to be on a steady upward curve and their latest appointment can only be seen as a shrewd one. Last Monday Daniel O’Connor was announced as the new Head Professional of the Kildare Club after he returned home following a successful stint in Canada as a golf…

After a thoroughly enjoyable stint in Wicklow, I returned to the sunny southeast, specifically Faithlegg Hotel and Golf Club in Waterford. I had heard great things about the golf course which won the Golfers Guide to Ireland Parkland award for Munster 2020 so I thought to myself, why not take a spin down the M9 and check it out. The hotel is located just down the road from the Waterford Harbour and is steeped in history with many of the rooms portraying a story about the estate upon which it stands. My timekeeping left a lot to be desired as…
