    Ah! That's the mvp advice. Cheers. Might try to do something a bit more accessible.

        My appointment today in the helix was 16. 10, I rocked up at 9.30 and was done in less than 20 minutes, no bother about the times. I had an appointment already in the afternoon and got a mate to ask that it'd be OK when he had his appointment yesterday.

          Have a look at this: https://www.tgw.com/golf-guide/what-is-swing-weight/

          Also read up on shaft SST Puring, FLO and Spine alignment (spining) and find out if these services are provided in the price. I had FLO done on a set of my irons and the difference is quite noticeable as I played with them before and after the process. Much better dispersion after.
          I just know that the shafts made me hit the irons straighter. Even though I’m 6.3 I need flatter clubs due to being very shallow. Tried lots of different iron shafts and these were the best by a mile dispersion wise. I am using Superlight iron shafts as it is so went for lighter shafts again. Hit 5 shots with the 5’wood that was lowered to 17 degrees as don’t like 3 woods generally and loved it. My irons are 15 years old so time for a change.

              Probably a better option if carless

              Or get DART to Raheny, turn right out of station down to taxi rank at village (100m) and get them to drop you off right at the very end of the causeway. Double win in avoiding a very long walk + not having to drive around painfully looking for a parking spot.
              Then call a taxi when ready to leave.

                  How did that happen? Thought you were based in North Dublin?

                  Look like you win the score, unless I get the call for sooner which seems unlikely.

                    Yeah I’m north dublin. Lads complaining about going to the Aviva. I called them and they said it was random and that she was getting complaints all day. Got her to check my address. Yes it’s Portmarnock in Fucking Dublin. I’ll void the bet as no idea whether I can go or not yet. Also it’s not just 1 trip to Waterford it would be 2.

                                The number 42 is, in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams, the "Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything," calculated by an enormous supercomputer named Deep Thought over a period of 7.5 million years. Unfortunately, no one knows what the question is.

                                  Someone in Limerick on the boards vaccine appointments thread who also got asked to go to Waterford. You could just turn it into a fun day out?

                                    You could meet up with nicnic, Kev and Murdrum for golf and outdoor pints.

                                    And, no doubt, blaas.

                                        Good chance i'll be in Clare on holiday when my second shot is due and, by fuck, I'll jump in the car and drive back to Dublin then return to Clare in a day to get it.

                                            Haven't seen Murdrum on here in a while. Wondering if he ever got those PXGs.

                                                                  Fantastic acting. Started watching City On The Hill, Kevin Bacon, its been very good so far, 5 episodes in. Motherland on Netflix is an easy half hour watch also.
                                                                  This too shall pass.

There is no threads no blogs to follow many where the content was poor some decent. The reality is the site has got boring maybe it’s Covid related or just the sane conversation rehashed. Only so many wanks a man can have over a cold cuts and cheese platter picture. The glory days were the big meets at poker festivals especially nights out. It’s a bit like having friends if you have to hound them to have a drunken night out hang out is it worth it ?

                                                                                                As for festival's there will be no chance for a while I imagine.
