In this episode of A Touch of Class, Will Griffith sits down with one of the most exciting young talents in Irish golf - Dylan Holmes. The Greystones native has built a reputation as a composed, technically sharp competitor, already stacking up major amateur titles and proving he can deliver when the pressure is highest.

Dylan’s journey began in the junior ranks at Greystones Golf Club, where he developed the fundamentals, confidence, and competitive instincts that would carry him through the Leinster and national circuits. Early success came quickly - first with the Wicklow Boys, then with the Fred Daly alongside a strong Greystones team - results that marked him as a player capable of rising to every challenge placed in front of him. Those formative years set the foundation for a breakout stretch that would put his name firmly on the Irish golfing map.

In 2025, Dylan produced one of the defining performances of his young career by winning the West of Ireland Championship, navigating Rosses Point with maturity and control beyond his age. He backed it up in 2026 with another marquee victory in the Mullingar Scratch Cup, joining a winner’s list that has long been a predictor of future success in Irish golf. Now, with two of the country’s most prestigious amateur titles on his CV, Dylan is preparing for the next chapter: heading to the United States to begin his NCAA Division I career at Seton Hall University, ready to test himself against the best of American college golf.
