We take a look at how he's ended up back home in Donegal overseeing the 63 hole, 1200 acre property.
The importance of getting "your homework right" from a course setup perspective.
How an easterly wind is less than optimal for growing grass early in the season.
Why he's not praying for rain.... just yet.
Grass paths and golfer expectations.
The many changes that have occurred at the resort over the past 6 years and much more.
