Player Update : I’ve lost two shots off my handicap already
We always ask people to stay in touch and let us know how they're getting on ...
D Ward
Just a quick thank you for my new driver, I had two games with it so far. The first in Concra Wood resulting in me hitting 11 fairways out of 14, then the second game in my home club woodlands resulting in an equalling high score of 64. I have lost two shots off my handicap already. Thanks for the help

Seamus Power, another great result from one of our Irish Professionals
Seamus has been coming to see us for quite awhile now, we've been looking after his equipment since he was 11 years old.
This very likeable West Waterford man now plays in the USA full time and he was in ForeGolf in January to have his irons completely rebuilt with a more stable shaft. His loft and lie angles were redone to get the better control on the spin of the ball and more consistent distances. We also reset his wedge lofts and bounce angle grind to get him better, crisper contact with the ball.
All this pre-season work has really paid off with Seamus's first win as a full time professional. It's another great result this year from one of our Irish professionals and proves that ForeGolf really are building better golfers.
From eGolf Professional Tour - Seamus Power of Waterford, Ireland entered the final round of the eGolf Tour’s River Run Classic with a three-shot lead following rounds of 64-66—130 to start his week. read more

How much do ForeGolf hand built clubs cost ?
It’s hard to pin point how much your new clubs will cost because we need to see you and assess what you need first and then we can give an exact cost. That’s largely what the fitting session is designed to do, so we can see what you do, what the ball does and where we can make changes to your equipment to bring improvement.
We assume you have decided to visit us because you are thinking of changing your clubs or you are not enjoying your golf and want to improve your handicap. It is so important that you come to see us with the mindset that you are going to invest in your game. In order to get the very most from your session, you should follow through and get the clubs we recommend otherwise you won’t see the true benefit of what we do. The last thing we want is your visit to be a wasted opportunity to be a better golfer.
We have a number of different brands, models, shafts and grips that can affect the prices. We want you to get the very best from the equipment we build for you and will only let you invest in clubs that will see a noticeable improvement in your game and in turn lower your handicap.
As a guide you should expect to invest:

Have you seen the ForeGolf Grip Station ?
Putting on grips might sound straight forward but in true ForeGolf style we've turned it into an art-form. Straight grips means square club-heads and square faces means straight shots.
We had our gripping station specially built in Japan and its entirely pneumatically operated with two foot pedals. One pedal controls the air clamp to hold the club securely in place and the other pedal forces grip solvent into the grip to make it easy to slide on. The square lines on the footplate and the red see through paddle over the top of the grip makes sure every grip goes on perfectly straight, every time. All this extra effort means there's one less thing wrong and our golfers keep hitting fairways and greens, another ForeGolf result.
We work mostly with Golf Pride Grips, who claim to have more major wins than any other grip company. More than 80% of Tour professionals choose to play with Golf Pride grips and not one is paid to do so
- The Tour Velvet, a rubber blend for maximum comfort is the most popular standard grip. Available in black
- The Multicompound, a mixture of rubber and cord for all weather control. Available in white/black, red/black and blue/black.
As it’s the only contact you will have with the club, the grip must be the right texture and size. If your grips feel hard and are cracked in any way or if you can see wear marks in the rubber, then it’s time to change them.
Remember, your clubs will feel and play like a new set with new grips. There are many different sizes of grips to suit your hand size. Do you know what size grip you should be playing? ForeGolf can help.
Great result for Irish Golfers
Its been a great weekend for ForeGolf clubs with one of our most recent visitors Shane Lowry bagging a top 10 finish and €25K while another one of our Irish Tour players Niall Turner took a 3rd place finish out on the Asian Tour.

Niall Turner at Handa Faldo Cambodian Classic
We've been working with Niall for nearly 10 years now and even shipped specially made irons and wedges out to USA when he was in college. Coming up with clever solutions to his ball flight problems so he can swing the way he wants to.
Niall is 6ft 5 and his clubs must be made longer and lighter to suit his posture and swing plane. We adjusted the lie angles of his irons which have to be custom spaced to suit the shaft length and flex. We also designed specific loft on his iron settings to manage his spin and yardage control. This keeps his ball flight consistent and accurate.
ForeGolf makes sure our Irish golfers have the best fitted and hand built equipment to allow them to not only compete at the highest level but win against the best in the world.
How to be Ireland’s No 1 Golfer ?
We recently helped out Irish International golfer Niall Gorey who posted this just two weeks after we tweaked his irons and built him a new driver and 3 wood
"@Foregolfcustom Thanks Big D. World Ranking pre-ForeGolf 820 position. Post-ForeGolf 135 position."
Thats an incredible 685 places in 2 weeks.
Niall told us to step in and build his clubs whatever way we thought was best for him. Two weeks later he was Ireland's No.1 amateur golfer.
Niall knows the importance of the right clubs to suit him but also the importance of having the right people build the clubs. The fitting is only a part of this story, the quality of the build and having each club handmade perfectly is what produces the end results. Niall put his complete trust in us and just told us to “Do whatever you guys need to do, you guys are the experts”.
