20/20 update
So two weeks in how’s it been going???
Due to changes in diet ( cutting out s**t food) and getting to the gym at least 4 times a week, I’m down 4.4 LBs or 2 Kgs. Which is a nice start but also probably the easiest part, once I was willing to change the eating habits.

Since 2009, there has been no new golf course designed in Ireland. Not one*
Now, however, Curracloe Links is in development in the south east (Wexford), where Fry & Straka are creating something unique.
* St Patrick's opened in 2021, but it was built on the site of two former golf courses

I’ve definitely found a lot of excuses not to stick or start this, So why not say it out loud and give myself an extra push.
With playing less golf in recent years the old use it or lose it phase comes to mind not swinging the club enough and while I wasn’t very long I’ve definitely gotten shorter

Fault / Fix ⬇️
The biggest faults in my swing come from poor set up habits, this has led to me playing with early extension and a bit of a chicken wing through the ball.
