About Us

Mícheál Halpin founded Low Chaser Golf in 2023. Mícheál is a native of Ballybunion, in the South-West of Ireland. He is fortunate enough to grew up in a golfing family, and became a member of Ballybunion Golf Club as a junior. Through the years he spent most summers either playing or caddying

After a few years away from the game, he set up Low Chaser Golf to address some gaps he found in the market. Being fan of quality products at a decent price, he had acquired some new-to-him second hand clubs. 

As with most second-hand clubs, they were perfect, except he saw they needed new grips. Just to add a splash of (subtle) colour, he went looking at various options, but quickly found there were no options that he found interesting. So Low Chaser was born, with a view to bring to market grips and headcovers that have a timeless style.

Our Values

As an engineer by training, Mícheál has a strong appreciation for good design. And with that he appreciates that things don't need to be complicated to be quality.

But he also believes that while the latest product releases may be marginally better than previous versions, for the vast majority of players that does not equate to value-for-money. As a result  he's a fan of using slightly older clubs, that can often be found at a fraction of the price. And with the addition of new grips, they will perform as good as when they were now

 

Things we like

Tying in with the simple things in life, here are a few things we like:

  1. Casual golf over competitions
  2. Half sets over 14 clubs
  3. Links over parkland
  4. A quiet 9 holes over a 5 hour 18-hole round. 
  5. Clean designs over noisy!
