Gary Hurley sat down with me to talk about his career to date. Throughout a highly successful amateur career, Gary has his ups and downs between the Challenge and European Tour including a particularly challenging time through 2018 and early 2019. We chat Gary's love for football (Manchester United) and all things sport, growing up in Waterford, his route to turning pro and in particular there is a segment on his struggles and how he is fighting through them was particularly inspiring for me personally and hopefully you can take away something from this episode also.
