Part Two of Guest Blog with Daniel Davey
Part two of our latest guest blog with Daniel Davey of Leinster Rugby and Dublin GAA. RC : Strength and conditioning has became more common in modern times with golfers. What do you advise for post gym replenishment? DD : A simple rule of thumb is that when you train intensely you must recover optimally to get the most from each training session.

This is particularly important for young athletes aiming to gain lean mass during a muscle […]

Take advantage of the warm up
Gym workouts, like everything else in life, materialise along a spacious spectrum of efficiency. On one side of the spectrum, we have ample time to conduct the perfect session where everything we planned to achieve in our session is achieved. The athlete is engaged and is working hard. Coach and athlete are happy. Progress has been made. On the other side of the spectrum, we have sessions that are rushed. The athlete is not engaged. Learning and adaptation is minimised. Coach and athlete leave the session thinking that their time could have been better spent doing something else more useful. The Average Joe, especially in the world of golf fitness, […]

Thank You Pro
Its 9am on the 26th of December . St Stephens Day here in Ireland. I look out the window and it is absolutely bucketing down. A day in the pub watching a super day of horse racing and sport was on the cards. Then i can hear Bobby’s voice in my head “Well Pro. Get the wets on. Lets go hit a few ” So i got changed and hopped in the car and drove the twenty minutes from Balbriggan to Bettystown. I got the wets on and strolled over to the practice ground in Laytown and Bettystown Golf Club where i learned so much over the years from […]

Matchplay, Time for it to take a back seat.
Before you go on the attack, i love matchplay golf. I have a better matchplay record than strokeplay in Irish Amateur Golf and i would probably have a better chance of winning more championships if they were all matchplay format rather than strokeplay.

I won five matches to get to the final of the West of Ireland only this year. So before you think I’m writing this due to a dislike for matchplay golf […]
