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.

Carne is a special place. Biblical. Spiritual. Golf on the edge of the world.
It has become a place of pilgrimage for not only golfers from all parishes of Ireland, but for golfers from every corner of the globe.
Is it the scale of the dunes? The rawness of the terrain or the subtlety of Hackett’s routing through the scale of sand and sea? I don’t know, but I know I need to go back.
We kick off the year on the PaddyTalks Podcast with a special 2-part episode, with General Manager Fiona Meehan Togher being the guest for part one.

Matthew McClean is if anything, a chilled out individual. A chilled out individual playing amateur golf at an incredibly elite level. Having been pipped to the post a couple of times this year, namely at the North of Ireland Championship (by Hugh Foley), Matthew gained sweet revenge at a tournament that wasn’t even on his schedule at the start of the year! Whilst working most of the year and representing his golf club, province and country around the world playing golf on various teams, Matthew McClean won the US Mid-Am Championship at Erin Hills last month and I caught up with him just after he landed, literally!

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!

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 :)

What they are as a community is incredibly proud, which they should be given the insanely good product they have created on the most westerly point for golf on the Wild Atlantic Way. They are indeed, custodians. Custodians of golf, of the Irish language, of Irish culture and craic, actually custodians of the game and are growing it insanely quickly in this pocket of Ireland known as the Dingle peninsula. Cormac Flannery is indeed at the the head of that experience, of that custodianship, whether he admits it or not. He is the spearhead giving the golfing community a their direction in any case.

Over drinks, some friends and I had a good debate over what is acceptable to wear when golfing. With Tyrell Hatton winning in a hoodie, Justin Thomas and many more embracing the golf jogger whilst the ladies game has always had a fashion forward sense of style. If we were talking about it, I thought it might be of value to put a little solo episode together taking in some of your opinions and get a synopsis of what is deemed suitable on the fairway in 2022.

This week we speak with Bert McKay, General Manger at Castlerock. It’s been one hundred and twenty one years since the formal inauguration of Castlerock. Harry Colt made it the links we play today, albeit more recently refreshed and updated by Martin Hawtree in 2017. A golf course played in the landscape not on the landscape, it is indeed a fine hallmark Colt design. Hollows, rises, banks, plateaus, pot bunkers and greens varying in sizes all contribute to an incredible links experience just twenty minutes from the Open hosting Royal Portrush.

“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.

So what's changed at Mount Juliet a year or so on from when the Irish Open was meant to have taken place on site last year. It's the 30th Anniversary of Jack Nicklaus Signature design at Mount Juliet to boot so it is quite a bumper month if not a bumper year for the Dubai Duty Free Irish Open to be held at the estate once more.

Mary Doyle is fun.com personified. Fun with a ruthless streak when it comes to competition having being part of Leinster U-18 and Women’s teams, U-18 and Women’s Irish Golf team for the Home Internationals, for the European Championships and for the World Amateur Team Golf Championships. Combine that and an incredible level of professionalism to her role at the Golf Ireland Academy here in Ireland and it is no wonder she is trainee PGA Professional of the year for 2021
A superb chat about how Golf and especially Golf at the Golf Ireland Academy has an open door policy.

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.
