PaddyTalksGolf – Details, episodes & analysis

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.

Yes, Golf in Ireland is back! This week's episode is a run down of those two great guys and their achievements in the Walker Cup last week, John Murphy (ep.74) and Mark Power (ep.77) who represented Irish Golf at the highest level in Seminole.

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.

David Kearney has spent the past 20 years as high performance lead for Irish Ladies Golf and achieved great success in this role. Many collegiate stars and now LPGA Tour members have been coached and continue to take insights from David, namely Leona Maguire, Stephanie Meadow and soon to turn pro Olivia Mehaffey. 

David was kind enough to spend some time with me on this week's episode sharing his journey in golf, his learnings and insights.
