Irish here. My name is Mark, I'm married to Christine and have 2 boys, Pearse (5) and Seamus (2). I live in Portstewart, a beautiful seaside town on the North coast of Ireland. I work in Marketing for a Hi Tech company in Belfast, which means I have a daily commute of 120 miles. I like my job, just hate the commute.
I have been playing golf for over 25 years and I was one quite hot, playing for the Irish colleges team. I now play off 5 around Portstewart. This is a wonderful club with 3 x 18 holes courses. My swing is posted here somewhere on the Forum. I think I am a quite good ball striker. Just my pitching, chipping and putting let me down at times. My goal is to get my h/c down to 4 this year and win a few tournaments. However I only play once a week and have little time to practice. (Hopefully that will change during the summer as the nights grow longer) so I am not sure how realistic that is. I firmly believe that 90% of golf is between the ears and the other 10% is between the ears.
I have a bunch of clubs, the most recently acquired are a Sonartec ss-03 and Sonartec MD Hybrid - 19 degree. Too early for proper feedback on these babies.
I love playing golf and am as happy playing with hackers as I am with scratch players. I also think the Forum is great, a good mix of international personalities and standards. I have played The Master last year and hope to get a rematch again soon. I have also played with LBC Golfer in California (my job takes me round the world) and hope to play Slingblade in April this year (at Yale!!!). My record speaks for itself.
