    Some great interviews with him on YouTube with the lead actor in his movies. Charlie Rose ones are really good.

      I got fitted for a TSi3 last week after trying 6/7 of the new models. Was between it and the Ping G425 Max (incredibly straight and forgiving) but the TSi3 had a much better flight/spin. I also changed from reg to stiff flex (swing speed is now around 103-109mph) which surprised me. For the first time, I saw a couple of balls dropping near the 250yd mark at the range and a typical miss is less punishing. The fitter (local pro) couldn't emphasize enough how much R&D and engineering is gone into the latest clubs to assist players. I'll take any help I can get.

      My SS is 115-118 got a stiffer shaft in the Sim2 vs the M2. Hit one on the KClub simulator that got up to 170 ball speed. I’m hitting it consistently 280-290 with some going nuts distances. Hit a drive and 6 iron to a 520 yard par 5 on Saturday (slightly down wind but still)

        Cool will check them out.

        I think so too...every film is class. There are other directors I love too, but they all have some notable misses. I haven't seen Punch Drunk Love yet, but I heard Kermode rave about it so I'm looking forward to it.

          Great hitting. Really good swing speed. I’d say you are prob leaving some on the table with 280 (if that’s your total, if it’s carry then you are right abouts) but with 170 ball speed I’d say you are leaving some out there. Which is a great place to be in.

          Im jealous, I think I struggle to break 105.

          I picked up the Epic Max LS last week. Things a rocket ship.

          I haven’t tried the Sim2 but I’ve got one coming in the mail (Taylormade warranty is the best).

          This may or may not be an original thought of my own.

              I'm short and not strong by any means so I was surprised to swing close to 110. I can only attribute that to better mobility since I started playing. What's your flexibility like?

              I couldn't get any consistent strike off the Epic Max LS or the G425 LST. I don't know if it's a case of smaller heads or different CG in low spin drivers but they just didn't feel right for me. I didn't get to try the Sim2 or Cobra options but I'm beyond happy with TSi3. The new Cobras are awful looking compared to the previous models.

                Swing speed 95 .

                I'm embracing auld lad golf golden rule. Always on the green with at least a putt for par. Surprisingly easy to do. Hopefully I can keep the HC at 9.

                  I love the names of these golf clubs.

                    I was carrying it over 300 with some on the simulator. It’s hard to know on the course but I’m getting a great tune out of it. My SS is probably around 110 when I’m playing. After hitting a load of balls in the range I can crank it up.

                      Yeah that makes a lot more sense. Serious distance. Especially at sea level.

                      We benefit from 10-15% distance advantage here.

                          I’m short and not strong either really. Ive had my swing speed measured a few times, 105 ish. I prob play slower on course too tbh. Still here that gets me out there 280. I’d struggle at sea level I’d imagine. I’ve got a 50g shaft in it too. Lol. It’s actually all a bit pathetic when I type it out.

                          I am as flexible as uncooked pasta.

                          I put a dent in the face(toe) of my M5 and Taylormade warrantied it. But only after I’d managed to get our club pro to give me his staff Callaway for cheap. So now I’ve two 2021 drivers. Silly.

                          Excited to try the sim though given elbows speaks highly of it.

                                  If you read the Bob Woodward book, you can see that the odd fact actually permeated his thick skull. There was one famous call with Woodward where he, like a proud child showing off what he learned in school, confirmed he knew covid was an airborne disease and that it was very serious (Feb\Mar 2020 iirc).

                                  So yeah Trump.
                                  But also POTUS, with all the power and access to information that goes with that.

                                  I'd have an open mind.
                                  I was thinking this might be true until reading the Strew thread. It's just a rehash of the same old nonsense it seems. Put together by Trump in his last days in office. Such a prick that guy.

Hopefully pays off in the long run, back was getting very achy towards the end so taking a break back in bed now, but will be sure to shuffle around the place a bit in another hour or two. My chair at my desk doesn't help, I know that, too easy to slouch in it.

                                    Hitch, if I wasn't writing on a tablet I'd try to impart all of my experience with bidding on houses, in case it would be of use. While looking in 2014/2015, we probably bid on around a dozen houses, going sale agreed ('winning' I guess) on three, two of which we subsequently withdrew from for different reasons. This time around we only bid on four, three of these simultaneously, so withdrew from bidding on two once we went sale agreed (we were the underbidders on those ones anyhow). In short I agree with what Ollie said, that in Dublin there's no need for much gameplay or 'tricks', figure out in advance the max you are willing to go before you start bidding, stick to it. Some people advise making huge bid increases to blow the other bidders out of the water, but personally think this is a good way of potentially costing yourself money. For example in one bidding war we were in, bids were increasing in 2.5k increments, then one side bid an extra 15k. All that did was speed things up slightly, as another bidder simply responded with the usual 2.5k on top. For our own sale, 11 different bidders were involved, and the winning bid was the usual 2.5k higher; if they had tried a bigger bid in that spot it would have been a waste (but I would have been happy!)

                                    As you've already noted, don't underestimate the other costs - pay for a good survey when you are sale agreed, don't scrimp there or on the solicitor. Stamp duty and moving/storage costs also add up!

                                    Hammer home the 'not in a chain, mortgage approved, genuine first time buyer' pitch with the EAs when bidding, it's a great position to be in.
                                    Thank you! We haven't got mortgage approval yet so might be getting ahead of ourselves. Who knows what will happen when they do a deep dive on my accounts. Apparently he wants to try Finance Ireland first. Some new crowd with great rates. Never heard of them before.

Pain was moderate on Friday but felt much better by the end of the day, during which I was pretty active. Think this was a bad idea as I was crippled on Saturday, can't bend or lift, can barely walk, but still had an unavoidable engagement in town so drove in and out, climbed stairs, etc.. Yesterday was even worse, was begging family for Difene (never had it before but know the reputation), got some well expired pills and spent day in bed. Today's the first one where I'm at least no worse than the previous! Still crippled but perhaps not quite as bad as yesterday. Also got my hands on 'fresh' Difene! Have no choice though but bed again as still can't sit or walk. Having no luck this year with my health. Any good tips for incapacitating lower back pain?
                                                  Have had issues on and off last few years lower back as well. Basically bottom 3 vertebrae get inflamed and pain shoots into my glutes ass. The only remedy for me is a session or two of physio exercises and some anti inflammatorys. The worst I had it was after a night in the fitz. Strained myself in work on the Monday had a session booked for Friday. Thirs night shower couldn’t bend get my feet horsed a foot into the sink heard a pop cripping pain. Had ticket for fitz EOM got in was uncomfortable was delighted to get knocked out in agony sweat pouring out of me. Friday therapist could not get the Spasms out had to help me with the tracksuit back on. Hobbled up to the doctor walk in one gave me Valium pain killers and antinflammatorys. Was off work for 5 weeks. If I was you I’d still go to the physio find the cause treat it then do preventable treatment to yourself until you have experienced it impossible to describe how debilitating it is.

                                                    Roger Ebert summed it up perfectly for me.

                                                    But hay, there is no accounting for taste. I had to sit myself down recently and admit to myself that I like Budweiser.

Its not a blindspot, its avoiding a distraction from proper information sources that have a much higher chance of being informative.
                                                        Yeah you accused me of this the first time I brought it up. That I had got it from Fox/Trump and therefore it was nonsense.

                                                        Kinda amazing too, you're still going with the "good people" thing considering you can go watch the video of what he said.

                                                        So much of what was promoted by experts or scientific organisations last year was completely rolled back or flipped. Even 2p2 trumped WHO/CDC over and over.
                                                        Experts in static domains good; experts trying to work in new / wicked / fast moving domains not so good. They're way behind people who deal with new info.

                                                        These are the kinds of people still promoting the food pyramid.

Hopefully pays off in the long run, back was getting very achy towards the end so taking a break back in bed now, but will be sure to shuffle around the place a bit in another hour or two. My chair at my desk doesn't help, I know that, too easy to slouch in it.

                                                            Hitch, if I wasn't writing on a tablet I'd try to impart all of my experience with bidding on houses, in case it would be of use. While looking in 2014/2015, we probably bid on around a dozen houses, going sale agreed ('winning' I guess) on three, two of which we subsequently withdrew from for different reasons. This time around we only bid on four, three of these simultaneously, so withdrew from bidding on two once we went sale agreed (we were the underbidders on those ones anyhow). In short I agree with what Ollie said, that in Dublin there's no need for much gameplay or 'tricks', figure out in advance the max you are willing to go before you start bidding, stick to it. Some people advise making huge bid increases to blow the other bidders out of the water, but personally think this is a good way of potentially costing yourself money. For example in one bidding war we were in, bids were increasing in 2.5k increments, then one side bid an extra 15k. All that did was speed things up slightly, as another bidder simply responded with the usual 2.5k on top. For our own sale, 11 different bidders were involved, and the winning bid was the usual 2.5k higher; if they had tried a bigger bid in that spot it would have been a waste (but I would have been happy!)

                                                            As you've already noted, don't underestimate the other costs - pay for a good survey when you are sale agreed, don't scrimp there or on the solicitor. Stamp duty and moving/storage costs also add up!

                                                            Hammer home the 'not in a chain, mortgage approved, genuine first time buyer' pitch with the EAs when bidding, it's a great position to be in.
                                                            What approach do people take for valuing houses just out of curiosity? Is it just a case of setting a budget and finding something within it? I'd find it very difficult to try and compare places in terms of price. I find even trying to pick between somewhere to rent difficult.

                                                                                    I use a spreadsheet to compare houses I'm interested in, most important/easiest to determine metric is obviously €/square foot. But you also need to record location (distance to public transport / shops), aspect, garden size, quality of finish, etc... and have that in mind when comparing houses, as the simple €/square foot doesn't tell all. But often will certainly point out houses that are terrible value!

If the market uses “feel” and you’re modelling based on what’s rationale im not sure it’ll help much with bidding.

                                                                                          Everyone is going to have their own opinion on what is important and what represents value; for example, my wife and I couldn't care less about having a big garden so long as a nice park is nearby (grew up in a house with a big garden, still did all our playing on the communal 'green' in the estate), which is very handy as the premium people pay in Dublin for big gardens is sizable.

                                                                                          Not gonna link directly, but just to illustrate what I would think is good value based on asking price right now in the area I'm most interested in, check out 3 Kerrymount Rise, 'Foxrock' (more Cabinteely IMHO). I'm sure lots would hate it for the lack of big back garden! If we weren't sale agreed I'd be in for that for sure. As for poor value, 4 Glencairn Pk, price per square foot is mad (it's about 120 sq meters of living space).

                                                                                                                  I was at that, was 15 and went with the brother and his girlfriend and a few others. Got there late and missed Santana.

Being Clontarf of course, they were probably drinking handmade artisan IPA and arguing about what gender they are)

Thankfully have Raheny and St Annes Park to act as natural defences against incursions from such areas.
