On this week's edition of the podcast, Ronan returns from EP to sit in the hot seat as Mark dials in from sunny Sligo! The lads react to the KPMG Women's Irish Open at the K Club which kicked off a very busy period of tournaments on the island of Ireland.

Ireland will play host to stars of the future and past this week as the Walker Cup in Lahinch and NI Legends in Galgorm Castle takes centre stage while the lads also wax lyrical over Scottie Scheffler and DP World Tour Q-School is in full swing.

Irish Golfer Event Series 2026

On this week's edition of the podcast Peter and Ronan chat about what appears on the face of it to be an underwhelming Walker Cup after only Stuart Grehan was part of Dean Robertson's ten man GB&I team to face the USA in two weeks. Thomas Higgins and David Howard are both first and second reserves but should Robertson have added one more Irishman to the team?

The KPMG Women's Irish Open is also just around the corner and there are a handful of Irish players showing some good signs as we look for a first ever Irish winner of the event at the K Club South Course. You can get your tickets HERE.

On this week's edition of the podcast Peter and Ronan go full county board and dive into what could be done to help plug the talent gap at European level in Irish golf. The lads would like to see some aligned thinking between Golf Ireland and the PGA in Ireland where our aspiring professionals get some tournament exposure at home instead of being thrown into the deep end on the mini tours abroad.

We also wax lyrical about Beth Coulter's one and hopefully back to back wins on the LET Access Tour while they give full backing to Leona Maguire's Solheim Cup wildcard selection for next month's contest as she makes her fourth appearance against the USA.

On this week's edition of the podcast Peter sits down with Ronan who is fresh off a week in Lahinch for the South of Ireland Championship where a week that started with glorious sunshine turned sour with squally showers and an all Welsh final proving an anticlimax. Meanwhile, GB&I Walker Cup captain Dean Robertson is none the wiser as to which Irish players, if any, he will add to his ten-man squad to face USA in Lahinch this September.

On Tour, Leona Maguire and Seamus Power both boosted their seasons with top-10 finishes with Maguire bouncing into the AIG Women's Open on a golf course that should suit her while Power's hopes of earning a full PGA Tour card for next year are looking more promising. We also witnessed a new star arriving as Jackson Koivun put on a clinic to win the 3M Open on the PGA Tour.

Peter and Ronan (fresh from Birkdale) are back in studio to review Ryan Fox's Open Championship victory. The New Zealander joined Michael Campbell and Bob Charles in earning a men's major victory with a thoroughly impressive display on the back nine where he reached out and grabbed the Claret Jug with both hands with four birdies in his last six holes and two in his last three.

There were also plenty of other storylines and the lads dive in to discuss Bryson DeChambeau, Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy and Shane Lowry while there are worrying signs for Tommy Fleetwood.

On a day where the major championship scoring record was equalled twice, day two of the Open Championship was all about Bryson DeChambeau who was assessed a two shot penalty for inadvertently improving his lie on the fifth. That caused a debacle not seen for many a year and it remains to be seen whether the American will tee it up tomorrow.

This was all happening as David Howard narrowly missed out on making the cut and winning the silver medal as Shane Lowry and Rory McIlroy remained on the fringes of contention heading into the weekend.

This week Mark caught up with Stuart Grehan to digest what a week he had just had after claiming the Amateur Championship at Royal Liverpool.

The lads only do good news and Peter and Ronan are back in the saddle to wax lyrical about Stuart Grehan's Amateur Championship success at Hoylake over the weekend. The Tullamore native from County Louth GC became only the ninth Irishman to win the championship and in doing so books his spot in next month's Open Championship and next year's Masters and US Open while also cementing his Walker Cup place for Lahinch in September.

While Hoylake was gripping, Shinnecock Hills simmered but never got to the boil as Wyndham Clark held off Sam Burns, Scottie Scheffler and co to win his second US Open title.
