Back in September with the rain was lashing down and we were thinking perhaps a custom fitting ark was the way to go, in pops Mick Nevin with some good news. He was dropping off some clubs to be re-gripped and told us about his big win. Mick was in Newbridge Golf Club competing in the Presidents Prize where he took first place – scoring the winning total of 140 with a 69 Nett and a 71 Nett playing off a 12 handicap.
Mick is a handy enough player, but he developed some problems when he switched to a standard set of Cobra forged irons and driver and started missing the fairways on the left.
His problems indicated a loft and lie problem, so we adjusted the lie angles 2 degrees flatter and the ball now flies straight. With his driver, Mick is very “handsy”. We used a very low torque, stiff tipped shaft in a lightweight to get more distance. We also used a head we could open 1.5 degrees as he really slings his hands at the shot.
We knew with the proper adjustments he could play the way he feels comfortable but gives him more consistency. Seems to be working, much to the disappointment of his golf buddies, Mick took the money with an eagle putt on the last at Dunmurray Springs to take the 4-ball money
Congrats to Mick for a great weekend of golf and commiserations to the lads who had to pay out, doesn’t it always make the win a little bit sweeter.
