Covid-19 update – We are closed until late January
The government has decided that, as of midnight on Thursday the 31st of December, all of Ireland will be placed on Level 5 of the plan for living with COVID.
What does this mean for golf lessons at Drynam Park Golf Centre?
Unfortunately we have to close for the duration of the level 5 lockdown. A four week period.
I will update this message and our social media channels as we get closer to the end of January when the government provides new information regarding the lifting of restrictions.
When can I book in for my next golf lesson?
Shortly before we exit level 5 we will update this page to allow online booking for lessons that will begin once level 5 is lifted.
Anyone who had a booking arranged prior to January 1st will be contacted and given priority booking before we re-launch the booking system.
I am looking forward to resuming lessons once level 5 is lifted and meeting you all in the new year.
Be safe and be well. I hope 2021 is a better year for you and your families.
Best wishes.
Barry

It has been great working with Barry over the last year. I went from 22 handicap down to 17 with Barry's help. He helps by sending videos of your swing to him and he gives feedback... between lessons. Can't wait to get down a couple of more shots with his help. Cheers Barry!read more

Got 5 lessons with Barry and must say he really improved my golf game from the off, from driving to putting, Barry has an in-dept knowledge of the game and communicates this very well,... to help improve whatever facets of the game you need help with.

I've had six lessons with Barry now and can say he's the best coach I've worked with. I'm relatively new to the game but I've left every 30 minute lesson with Barry feeling like I've... improved. Most importantly, I always leave feeling like I have the tools and the understanding I need to continue working and improving by myself at the driving range or in my garden.He makes things clear and simple when he's explaining them, and the recordings are dead handy to go back and reference.Very happy, and excited to watch the handicap tumble.read more

Just finished 5 lesson programme with Barry. Great coach and really enthusiastic about improving my golf game. Lessons are nice and relaxed without information overload. Video feedback... is brilliant so you have a record of each lesson. Barry also encourages students to send video of golf swing which he comments on straight away in his usual positive and energetic way. Highly recommend.read more

I purchased a 5 lesson voucher from Barry and found every session of great value. All drills were broken down and communicated clearly. You could also send Barry a WhatsApp video of you... at the driving range and he would review and get back to you quickly. I would highly recommend Barry.read more

I received a voucher for 5 lessons with Barry and I would highly recommend him for anyone considering golf lessons. He is friendly, professional and has a great way of simplifying the... golf swing. In addition he sends on excellent swing videos with commentary which are great for reinforcing what was learned during the lesson and which could easily be forgotten easily otherwise.read more

I have just completed a short series of lessons with Barry Power which I found to be very helpful in identifying faults with my driver. Barry uses video analysis to highlight issues and... this medium is of great benefit in understanding your faults. Barry is a good communicator and explains things clearly and simply. I would recommend Barry Power Golf Academy to any golfer seeking help with their game.read more

Had my first 5 lessons with barry and I could not recommend him highly enough he has changed my grip and my stance all for the better and you can see how it is been changed when it is... been compared to the professionals on the screen in front of you so you can see before and after shots of what you have changed. also he sends them over to you so you can look back on what you need to keep practicing while on the range or the golf course.If I had any issue it would be I preferred to do hour lessons each time as I found half hour was not long enough.Will be booking more lessons very shortly.Thanks again Barry.Gary Burkeread more

I have been with Barry now for a number of years and I find myself still returning each year in order to refresh and revise what we have done before. Barry's approach to tuition is very... personal and friendly and he is always available social media to give direction when asked. His knowledge of the game of golf is excellent and he himself is a very genuine, friendly and polite gentleman. I would recommend Barry to anyone looking to improve their golf game or in fact learn the fundamentals of the game.read more

Iβve only had 2 hours with Barry and heβs helped me enormously with simple guidance and video analysis. The 2 hours have been supplemented with feedback via Wattsapp videos which have... really kept me on track - and heβs happy to get plenty! I have a disastrous block in me - largely with a driver - which I now know how to resolve with 2 simple thoughts. Itβs given me a clear practice strategy and light at the end of the tunnel.

I have had 5 sessions with Barry and I have to say he is the best golf pro I've ever had. He is very good at explaining areas of improvement in a simple and clear way. What impressed me... most with Golf Pro Lessons with Barry is that he uses video from different angles and he sends you everything after with a voiceover! You can also send him a video after the lesson and he gives you feedback for free on the video. Highly recommend this!read more

Barry makes the lesson easy to understand, to enhance changes to your swing. The before and after recording of the swing, which is sent to your mobile device, makes it easy to refresh... his instructions and easy to spot any return of bad habits. I highly recommend Barry.read more

Barry boasts both excellent expertise in the correct swing and also exceptional technology that allows you to view your swing in slow motion and against the swings of other... professionals. I consistently fade/slice the ball and finally bit the bullet to get some lessons. Within minutes of viewing my swing, Barry pointed out a few things I needed to tweak and work on and I've been going back for about a year now doing a lesson every 5 or 6 weeks. My handicap has dropped 6 shots in the year but the main thing is my driving is both straighter and further in distance which is all I could have asked for! To add to this, he's a great guy and does plenty of seasonal deals so it's well worth taking the leap!read more

I picked up the game of golf almost 2 years ago and was quickly hooked but over the course of the last year, a lot of bad habits were starting to creep in which I didnβt know how to fix.... I was going backwards and getting a bit disillusioned with it. Enter Barry!I received a gift voucher for lessons with Barry and from the very first lesson, I started seeing improvements. Midway through the lessons I was back playing to my handicap and gaining a bit of confidence. Barry made small changes at every lesson and explained the mechanics of the golf swing in simple terms using video analysis of my swing in comparison to top professional golfers! I found this aspect of Barryβs lessons to be really helpful and I think this is where he differs from other golfing instructors, he encourages you to send videos of your swing in between lessons and takes the time to send feedback. This allowed me to see what I was doing wrong and how to make the necessary changes.I would highly recommend Barry to beginners or anyone looking to improve their game. His lessons are delivered in a very professional yet relaxed atmosphere which is definitely beneficial to a relatively newbie golfer like myself!I will be continuing my lessons with Barry and aim to check out the short game clinics on offer over the summer, in the hope to shave a few shots off my handicap this season 🤞read more

When my friend and I were planning our trip to Ireland, we had heard that golf was big there. We decided we wanted to take our very first golf lesson. A friend recommended Barry Power... golf Academy. My friend was not excited going to this lesson. Barry Power was fabulous!!! He had incredible patience with us (2 ladies who had never golfed before) and a very caring nature. The before and after videos he provided to us from our lesson will be great help when returning home! Barry Power inspired my friend and I to research driving ranges back home to continue practicing what he taught us!! He also went out of his way to help me with questions I had about places in Ireland that had nothing to do with golf! I highly recommend Barry golf!!!!read more

Barry Power has been an inspiration. The video analysis and instant feedback has had a huge impact on my game, not to mention his clear (uncomplicated) methods of teaching.

I've been to Barry for a few lessons and each time he was able to identify the problems and give me ideas to work on. My handicap come down from 7 to 4 and I put that down to my driving... improving after Barry showed me what I was doing wrong. I've had other lessons over the years with different people but it's much easier to figure out what your doing when you can see it on screen on your phone. My next lesson will definitely be with Barryread more
