From professional golf, to walking away from the game, to getting his amateur status back, winning The Amateur, playing The Open Championship and ultimately leading GB&I out at a home Walker Cup at Lahinch.Stuart Grehan's story over the last couple of years is some journey.Six years after his first appearance on PaddyTalks Golf, Stuart is back to talk about the decision that changed his life, the pressure of professional golf, family, finding balance, and rediscovering his enjoyment of the game.We go deep on the conversation with Carla that planted the seed of returning to amateur golf, his first tournament back as an amateur, winning The Amateur at Royal Liverpool, and the surreal realisation that it would earn him a place at Augusta National.We then get into The Open at Royal Birkdale, representing Ireland at the European Amateur Team Championship, and eventually getting the chance to play in the Walker Cup he had targeted years earlier.And what a Walker Cup it was.Stuart requested the responsibility of leading GB&I out first at Lahinch. He talks about the pressure of playing Preston Stout repeatedly, dealing with the enormous home crowds, the atmosphere inside the team room, the Sunday comeback, Josh Hill's bunker shot, and the moment the noise erupted as GB&I completed an unforgettable victory.But beneath all the golf is a bigger story.Stuart opens up about what “making it” actually means to him now, why financial security and family matter more than chasing the next professional milestone, and why he feels happier in golf than he has in years.There's also plenty on what comes next: Augusta National, a US Open at Pebble Beach, chasing the number one amateur ranking, and whether Stuart and Raff can complete the clean sweep of Irish amateur titles.A brilliant, honest and seriously enjoyable conversation with one of the most fascinating characters in Irish amateur golf.PaddyTalks Golf is powered by ForeGolf Custom.Book your tour level custom fitting experience today: www.foregolf.ie/bookingIf you enjoy the episode, subscribe, leave a review and share it with a golfer who'll appreciate Stuart's story.Until we Tee it Up again soon, I'm Paddy.

Tom is back from endless travels and reveals 'The best course is he has played in Europe' *probably. More worryingly, he seems to have taken to stalking Patrick Bamford. Steve is sad because he is leaving the course we shall not name and Tom has been involved in a match play rules controversy that leaves Steve dumfounded. The Walker Cup was just the tonic they both needed and they reflect on the celebration of amateur and match play golf on the Irish Coast, why we all love it and what the game can learn. They look forward to the Solheim, and wonder where all the women are. They get stuck into the ticking time bomb of junior handicaps and wonder where it all ends for the endless manipulation of handicaps - both ways. Tom wins at Rules Corner.. again. Hosted on Acast.

Planning a round of golf in Las Vegas just got a little easier.In Episode 397 of the Chasing Daylight Podcast, Matt unveils the new Vegas Golf Course Conditions hub on ChasingDaylightPodcast.com — a community-powered resource designed to give Las Vegas locals and traveling golfers current information before they book a tee time.Golfers can report greens, fairways, tee boxes, bunkers, pace of play, what they paid, cart restrictions, maintenance issues, overseeding, and more. Recent reports automatically move to the top so golfers can quickly see what a course is actually playing like right now. Then Matt unloads on one of golf's biggest problems: slow play. After brutal experiences at Rhodes Ranch and Boulder Creek, the guys debate ready golf, better marshaling, consequences for slow groups, and whether premium tee times should come with pace-of-play expectations. The conversation also gets into rising Las Vegas golf prices, possible cart and water fees, LIV Golf's Chapter 11 news, the Walker Cup, the Irish Open, future Walker Cup venues, and more.

As Andy says in the middle of this Wednesday episode, "golf gets really good in the fall." After a weekend focused almost solely on the Walker Cup, the Schedule for the Week is packed to the brim with the Solheim Cup, a strong field at the Irish Open, and Blockie's continued Champs Tour heater. Before they can get to any of that, Andy and Brendan begin with a Football Minute, the first of this 2026 season. Andy's enthusiasm about the Bears is borderline scary as he attempts to show Brendan and PJ that there is light at the end of the no-quarterback tunnel. The two get to golf and preview this week's Irish Open where (former?) LIV golfer Jon Rahm spoke about his future once again. Rahm was quick to point out that he was contracted with LIV 1.0, a business that filed for bankruptcy in the middle of this recording. Andy and Brendan then try to piece together the bankruptcy news as it unfolds, with the highlight being Scott O'Neil's "Letter to Fans" citing other successful sports franchises that have been through the process and lived to see another day. The Solheim Cup is briefly mentioned with a comprehensive preview to come on Thursday evening ahead of play on Friday. A Whiparound Wednesday segment catches up on a bunch of recent news such as Brooks Koepka signing with Motor City GC and the end of an era at the GloHo for the PGA TOUR. Brendan is especially appalled at the existence of the first-ever AI Golf Commentator, set to join Notah in the booth for the New Mexico Open next week! Lastly, PJ pops in to provide the official Shotgun Start Over/Unders for the 2026 NFL season, somehow making Andy and Brendan choose between Deshaun Watson and Christiaan Bezuidenhout, among other props.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This episode we reflect on GB&I's Walker Cup win, their first in 11 years, and the scale of the comeback from a difficult morning session to a dramatic finish on the 18th green.We talk through the setting at Lahinch, which we describe as an excellent venue for the event, with strong support from the club, the town and the crowds throughout the week. We also note the work of captain Dean Robertson and the wider team around the side.We cover how the morning foursomes went badly for GB&I, with the Americans controlling play in the wind and taking a clear lead into lunch. We say the mood was flat at that point, but that the team room changed things and GB&I came out with much more energy in the afternoon singles.A big part of the discussion is the series of key matches that turned the contest. We talk about Stuart Grehan's comeback win over Preston Stout, Luke Poulter's result against Ethan Fang, Jack Whaley's dominant victory over William Jennings, and the pressure moments involving Tyler Weaver, Niall Shiels-Donegan, Elliot Baker, Conor Graham and Josh Hill.We finish with the decisive final sequence, where Josh Hill held his nerve to win the hole that secured the Walker Cup. We describe the celebrations, the emotion around the green, and the sense that this was a remarkable team win built on resilience and momentum.

Up to 16,000 people are expected to flock to the seaside town between now and Sunday to witness the world's premier amateur golfers in action. Co-Owner of Vaughan's Lodge Michael Vaughan says it's their finest hour.
It's hoped Clare's golf tourism industry will reap the rewards of a 'generational' opportunity presented by the hosting of the Walker Cup. Preparations are being finalised in Lahinch Golf Club for the 51st edition of the tournament, which gets underway this weekend. The opening ceremony, marking the official beginning of the tournament, takes place at 5pm this evening. Weather permitting, festivities will be held on the first tee, alongside the clubhouse, with a backup plan in place to move the occasion into the golf village. Lahinch Golf Cub Captain, John Gleeson, says the challenging conditions will make for an incredible spectacle. The action gets underway tomorrow with the morning foresomes, while 8,000 spectators will be in attendance on both days of the competition. Over 60 greenkeepers will be on hand over the weekend, with 45 drafted in as volunteers from around the world, to keep the course in top shape. Both American and British television crews are in place, with the Walker Cup to be broadcast live for 10 hours each day in the United States. Walker Cup Committee Chairman, Padraig Slattery, says the entire county will benefit from the spotlight being placed on Clare.

They begin with Mike Sposa's win at the U.S. Senior Amateur Championship at Baltimore Country Club. Andy is inspired by this story of resilience in the amateur game and wonders how Sposa had the time to get so good at golf while he was busy making 90 cuts on the PGA Tour! The two break down yet another example of the farce that is "reinstated amateurism" and wonder how the USGA let this guy bank in the ranks after such a long pro career.

Jack recaps his US Amateur run at Merion — wasp sting included — and the major exemptions that came with it. TJ takes them through Lahinch's Old Tom Morris and Alister MacKenzie design, the club's famous roaming goats, and tells an incredible stories about some caddie shenanigans on the 5th hole.

For Episode 5 of the PaddyTalks Golf Walker Cup Series, we go inside the Walker Cup with Noel Fox, a former GB&I Walker Cup player who experienced the competition from both sides of the ropes.Noel's Walker Cup story started when he was just 14.In 1988, while attending the Irish Boys at The Island, he saw three players wearing grey jumpers with red lines. When he asked what the red lines meant, he was told they were from the Junior Walker Cup.The Walker Cup was officially on his radar.Three years later, Noel was watching the real thing from even closer.He caddied at the 1991 Walker Cup at Portmarnock, giving him an incredibly unusual opportunity to see the preparation and atmosphere of the event from inside the GB&I camp. He also witnessed Phil Mickelson competing for the USA in front of huge crowds. Eventually, Noel would go from caddying at the Walker Cup to playing in one himself.At Ganton in 2003.And that's where this conversation really takes us.Listen back to previous episodes at:www.paddytalksgolf.comThe PaddyTalks Golf Podcast is POWERED BY ForeGolf Custom.For your own tour level custom fitting experience, visit www.foregolf.ie and book your fitting today.

The Walker Cup is no longer something we're looking at from the outside.For Episode 4 of the PaddyTalks Golf Walker Cup Series, I sit down with Michael Hoey, a former Walker Cup player, five time European Tour winner and current DP World Tour referee, to hear what it is actually like to represent Great Britain and Ireland in one of amateur golf's greatest team events.Michael's earliest Walker Cup memories came from watching players such as Phil Mickelson at Portmarnock in 1991. A decade later, he found himself walking onto the first tee at Ocean Forest as part of a GB&I team packed with future stars. We go back to the moment the Walker Cup became something Michael genuinely wanted to play in, the selection process, receiving the call and arriving in America.And then we get into the matches.Michael was paired with Graham McDowell for both foursomes sessions, winning both matches, before adding another point in the singles to finish the week with three points for GB&I. Perhaps the most interesting perspective comes from Michael looking back on the tournament now.At the time, he was a young amateur trying to establish himself.Now, with a successful professional career behind him and years spent refereeing at the highest level, he can look back and understand just how valuable that experience was. And ultimately, his advice to the current GB&I team is simple:Do it as a team.That's what Michael remembers most.The team synergy.The partnerships.The pride of representing GB&I.And the feeling of contributing to something bigger than yourself.

From John Burke, Leonard Crawley, Bernard Darwin and JB Carr, to Frank Stranahan, Stiggy Hodgson and Don Cherry, plus plenty more besides.A fun one, packed with stories, and a quiz you can play along with in the car!

For nearly three decades, Jerry Haas has been the steady hand behind one of the most consistent programs in college golf. Since taking over at Wake Forest in 1997, Haas has guided the Demon Deacons to a nation-leading 48 NCAA Championship appearances, more than 40 tournament victories, and a 2022 ACC Championship — building a program that has become a fixture on the national stage. But before he was building a dynasty on the sideline, Jerry Haas was building his own game inside one of golf's most storied families. A two-time Illinois Amateur champion, All-American at Wake Forest, and PGA Tour winner, Haas comes from a lineage that includes his brother Jay — an 18-time PGA Tour winner — and his nephew Bill Haas, a FedEx Cup champion who also happened to play for him at Wake Forest. In this episode, Jerry opens up about what it was like growing up around that kind of golf pedigree, the moment he decided to trade the Tour for the sideline, and how he's kept Wake Forest golf relevant through three decades of change — from scholarship rules to NIL to the transfer portal. We talk about what he actually looks for in a recruit beyond a swing or a scoring average and the stories — not the headlines — that he says tell you everything about what this game teaches young people.

Summer may be coming to a (merciful) end for Andy and Brendan soon, but not before LIV Golf will finish its 2026 season and maybe entire existence! The two dive into all of the news surrounding this week's makeshift season-ending event in Indianapolis, covering the latest rumors about Jon Rahm's next move, reports of new lawsuits from vendors, and the fact that players have not yet been paid for their finishes at LIV New York. The Boys are already in the great town of Indianapolis and are being encouraged to go "full Woodward and Bernstein" at what may be LIV Golf's final event. PJ is not exactly up for this massive challenge and was looking forward to a week of bits, but things have gotten more serious than anticipated. Andy and Brendan wonder about what players like Jason Kokrak, Talor Gooch, and even Dustin Johnson do next if this is, in fact, the end of the road for LIV as we know it. On the PGA Tour, the once-Western Open heads to Bellerive for another week of sweaty playoff golf. Andy wants this event to break ties with its Western Open heritage and has absolutely no interest in discussing the golf course or the test at hand for the FedEx Cup top 50. Brendan runs through the rest of a loaded Schedule for the Week, including TWO Canadian events, another sponsor invite for Blockie, and the U.S. Senior Women's Open. To wrap things up, the two discuss the Walker Cup picks for Team GB&I before sending The Boys into the unknown at LIV Indy. Experience the power, precision and versatility of Mercedes-Benz SUVs.
