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!

A few days after winning the Irish Women’s Close at Grange Golf Club and fresh off the camogie field, Beth Coulter joined me for a great, insightful chat. Growing up in a non-golf household, what being from the country actually means (I have a test for that!), looking forward to the Women’s Amateur Championship next week and pretty much beginning a new life as a Sun Devil in Arizona State University in August there is plenty of interest to talk about when Beth Coulter is about!

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 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.

Ep 76: Amy Condon on making Golf FUN!
Having spoken to Amy Condon on numerous occasions in putting together this episode, I think she quite possibly is the most personable person I have had on the show. Driven, Focused, Goal orientated, has a plan but most of all is loads of Fun. It was great to hear of why she embarked on her PGA journey and her plans once achieved. The legacy she is building at Elm Park and it's Junior Section is second to none in the country, but most important of all is that the kids love it because it's fun. I hope you enjoy the episode and if you do, please let a friend know about it. Tune in at www.paddytalksgolf.com or wherever you get your podcasts.
