Ep.215: The Keepers of Lahinch with Brian McDonagh | Walker Cup Series

What does it actually take to prepare Lahinch for the Walker Cup?

For Episode 3 of the PaddyTalks Golf Walker Cup Series, I sit down with Brian McDonagh, Lahinch Golf Club Superintendent, to go behind the scenes of preparing one of Ireland's great links for one of the biggest events in amateur golf.

Brian has been looking after Lahinch since becoming Head Greenkeeper of the Old Course in 2006, and in this conversation he gives us a fascinating insight into how he sees the course differently from the golfers who play it.

From weather forecasts and tides to dew, sand, disease pressure and the condition of the greens, Brian explains what goes through his mind before the first golfer even arrives.
