Welcome to this week’s episode of PaddyTalks Golf Podcast and official podcast partner of the KPMG Women’s Irish Open.

I took some time with rising star in Irish golf, Lauren Walsh who is no stranger to this podcast and known for her impressive achievements both as an amateur and a young professional. Born in County Kildare, Ireland, Walsh developed her skills early at Castlewarden Golf Club before becoming a standout player at Wake Forest University in the United States, where she earned All-American honours and contributed significantly to her team’s successes in NCAA competitions.

Walsh has represented Ireland in various international events, including the Curtis Cup and the European Ladies’ Team Championship, where she showcased her talent and leadership. She turned professional in 2023, making an immediate impact on the Ladies European Tour. Walsh is known for her consistent play, strong ball-striking, and calm demeanour on the course, which have quickly made her a player to watch in women’s golf and is a contender for Rookie of the Year honours on the Ladies European Tour. 

As Lauren makes her debut at this week’s KPMG Women’s Irish Open, Walsh has the talent and composure to be a contender, and a strong performance could further solidify her status as one of Ireland’s most promising young golfers.

David Clancy and I know each other for a while now and we've wanted to create something together for equally as long and we finally have. Well....I finally have come aboard the ship as the time is now and the timing is right. 

We can all be better in one or many small ways. I have started that journey of building habits with a while. Maybe you have too or maybe you are getting started. Something we are all doing is getting back to golf so maybe there are some aspects of our building better golf habits that will be of value to you. 

Today's podcast is about adding context to that. Showing you that David is coming from experience, from medicine and above all is coming with best practices. 

Enjoy the show!

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.

I love golf, Irish Golf and especially the elite amateurs who back themselves, their game and mental wits for life on tour. Conor Purcell is one such man who has executed quite well on his plans to date.

Welcome to this week’s episode of PaddyTalks Golf Podcast and a chat with one of my favourite G-G-G-Galway people, Ronan Mullarney. Having won the order of merit and graduated from Alps Tour in 2023 thus securing his playing status on the Challenge Tour for 2024, Ronan looks at the game a bit different then most. Very business-like and matter of fact on his approach, we should keep an eye on this shrewd operator for the year and with his rising start in golf hopefully see him raise more silverware this season.

It was fantastic to "virtually" sit down with Olivia Mehaffey for this episode. Olivia has long been a golf protege and a leading amateur worldwide. A four-time All American and beating Phil Mickelson's records to beat the band at Arizona State, it was great to learn more about how Olivia got into the game, her approach, her strategies for improvement and her goals going forward. Olivia also has a banging walk-on song!

Whilst I poke fun at a possible Lahinch vs Portmarnock Golf Club rivalry, PGC is one of the greatest clubs and courses on this island of ours. It was superb to have a chat with John "The Lantern" Greene on how he became part of the club coming from Carlow, winning the South of Ireland at Lahinch and the trojan work Portmarnock are doing in investing and developing in their Junior Section. 

This is the final episode of Season Two! 

Thank you all for pressing play. Season Three starts up real soon with a rebranding and a new partnership! I am very excited to bring you more episodes, more guests, more giveaways and heck next Season we might even play some golf together!

I've been looking forward to this particular chat for a while! Superb to get into the mindset of one of Irish elite golfers. Peter O'Keeffe has literally done it all. Played Elite Amateur Golf, American University Golf Scholarship, Turned Pro, Regained Amateur Status, Returned to Elite Amateur Status and now ranked bank inside the top 200 in the world, started his own business. A true high performer and top achiever. I loved this chat and I hope you do too.

Former Irish International Niall Gorey walks us through the majors of Irish Golf, the different formats and who to expect to rise to the top this year. 

Albeit this podcast was recorded before COVID19 took hold of the country and isolation protocols may have put paid to this years season to some extent, the lowdown of each tournament is great to hear and also to learn who are top guys that are at the peak of the golfing scene here in Ireland and who to follow in the months and years ahead.
