Ep 123: Women’s Get into Golf Special

I’ve been meaning to cover Women’s Golf as a whole since I started the podcast. Not women golfers, I try and do that as best I can (Hazel Kavangh, Beth Coulter, Lauren Walsh, Mary Doyle, Rebecca Codd, Olivia Mehaffey etc) I mean the whole area of womens golf in golf clubs and in the golf industry itself. The reasons why women don’t generally play. How do golf clubs and culture need to change. What do men do that annoy women golfers. Why women are better than men at golf. Questions women have before getting started. I’ve tried cover as many bases in today’s episode! I must also thank Jen Feighery and Noelle Francisco for their time and contributing to today’s episode. The winners of the Masters giveaway are listed in today’s episode as well as information about how you can win one of two JP McManus Pro-Am cap tickets!

Ep 121: The Major Championships of Amateur Golf in Ireland (Womens + Mens)

LIV Golf is not about growing the game. It is not about those golfers doing best for their families. It is not about golf at all. It’s a PR crusade for a country looking to avert the eyes of the world from their home atrocities. So this week’s episode IS NOT about LIV Golf. It’s about pure golf. You cannot get purer golf then that of the amateur game. This episode in fact should rightfully be laid out at the start of the calendar year! Note to self! There is a superb Amateur event on this very weekend, the AIG Womens Amatuer Close is on in Grange Golf Club in Rathfarnham, Co. Dublin. See you there! Meanwhile, this week’s episode will walk us through the major amateur championships in Ireland for both Women and Men. Those that have been played and won and the remaining championships for the year. With a bit of history and some serious name dropping of past champions along the way too! I hope you enjoy this episode and I trust I’ll see you in Royal Portush later in July for our Podcast Roadtrip :) PaddyTalks Golf Podcast is Powered by ForeGolf Custom.

Ep 120: The Sleeping Giant Ceann Sibeal | Cormac Flannery

“We don’t do stuffy” is proclaimed in the About Us section of the Dingle Golf Club website. What they are as a community is incredibly proud, which they should be given the insanely good product they have created on the most westerly point for golf on the Wild Atlantic Way. They are indeed, custodians. Custodians of golf, of the Irish language, of Irish culture and craic, actually custodians of the game and are growing it insanely quickly in this pocket of Ireland known as the Dingle peninsula. Cormac Flannery is indeed at the the head of that experience, of that custodianship, whether he admits it or not. He is the spearhead giving the golfing community a their direction in any case. The course takes in breath-taking scenery on the Dingle Peninsula along the Wild Atlantic Way. Originally designed by Eddie Hackett, finished off by the great Christy O’Connor Jnr off the original Hackett drawings. You have to come play here.

Ep 114: What can you wear playing Golf?

Over drinks, some friends and I had a good debate over what is acceptable to wear when golfing. With Tyrell Hatton winning in a hoodie, Justin Thomas and many more embracing the golf jogger whilst the ladies game has always had a fashion forward sense of style. If we were talking about it, I thought it might be of value to put a little solo episode together taking in some of your opinions and get a synopsis of what is deemed suitable on the fairway in 2022. If you have enjoyed the episode please share it with your family and friends.

Ep 113: Harry Colt’s Castlerock

This week we speak with Bert McKay, General Manger at Castlerock. It’s been one hundred and twenty one years since the formal inauguration of Castlerock. Harry Colt made it the links we play today, albeit more recently refreshed and updated by Martin Hawtree in 2017. A golf course played in the landscape not on the landscape, it is indeed a fine hallmark Colt design. Hollows, rises, banks, plateaus, pot bunkers and greens varying in sizes all contribute to an incredible links experience just twenty minutes from the Open hosting Royal Portrush. If you have enjoyed this episode, please leave a podcast review. PaddyTalks Golf Podcast is Powered by www.ForeGolf.ie Harry Colt’s “Some Essay’s on Golf-Course Architecture” can be bought here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Some-Essays-Golf-course-Architecture-Colt/dp/1296491110/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr=  Hosted on Acast.

Ep 111: World #1 Brendan Lawlor

“You can succeed best and quickest by helping others to succeed”, Napoleon Hill Brendan Lawlor has not only been copiously successful in his rise to World #1 Disability Golfer, but every step of the way he has passionately spoken about how other disability golfers should be afforded the opportunity to play, compete and included in the game of golf. That passion is bearing fruit, as the world’s outlook on inclusion is changing and looking to personalities, demographics and sport to put their support behind. Brendan is a transparent, incredible young man and I urge you to get behind him as he strives to break even further ground in the sport of golf and in disability golf.
