    Class Chats - Paul McBride - Irish Professional & Walker Cup 2017 Player

    Send us Fan Mail Hello and welcome back to another Class Chat. In this episode Will catches up with Irish Professional Golfer Paul McBride. From Malahide, Paul grew up playing many sports and had success in schools not only in golf but also in hurling where he won Dublin titles. Deciding to go down the route of golf, Paul played his junior golf in the Island where he learned his links skills. Onward to Wake Forest University in the US, Paul played and roomed with familiar names like Cam Young and Will Zalatoris. He had great success with the Wake Forest team winning a number of times. In 2016 and 2017 Paul played a number of the main European Amateur events trying to maximise his World Golf points in the hope and later success of getting on the Walker Cup team to play in 2017. in 2016 he unfortunately got beaten in the British Amateur semi final by a certain Robert McIntyre. On the Walker Cup, GB&I lost that particular year but Paul managed to bag himself a foursomes point beating his college team mate Zalatoris. Onward to the Pro life and Paul has had some nice top 10s in the years to date including a promising start to 2026 with a podium finish and a top 10 already in the bag. Ill be keeping my fingers crossed that he sees further success and gets himself on the Hotel Planner tour for next season. This was a very enjoyable chat with a super guy.

    Class Chats - Chris Selfridge - PGA Tour Caddy and 4 Time Irish Amateur Major Winner

    Send us Fan Mail Welcome back to another Class Chat. In this episode Will catches up with Chris Selfridge who hails from Moyola Park in the North of Ireland. Chris would be well known in the Irish Golf scene having won The East of Ireland and Irish Close in 2012 and then he won the North of Ireland in 2013 and retained his crown in 2014. The future was professional golf and was destined for the European Tour only for injury to strike and derail those plans. It took a couple of years for Chris to finally give up on the dream of playing on the tour but then he found a new direction and started caddying with long time friend Michael Hoey. Fast forward a couple of years and he has now worked with Ryan Fox and Tom McKibbin to name 2 and is currently on the PGA Tour with Matti Schmid. Life has a funny way of getting you to where you want to be. Chris still plays a bit of golf up in Mayola when he gets the chance and in 2024 Moyola Park were crowned All Ireland Barton Shield winners which is right up there with Chris's great achievements. This is a great chat with a super guy. Worth a listen.  Follow us on Instagram @atocpod and follow our YouTube channel @PARfectlyclassy

    Class Chats - Sam Murphy - Irish Pro & Recent Alps Tour Winner

    Send us Fan Mail Welcome back to another Class Chats. In this episode Will catches up with Sam Murphy who hails from Portumna. You may recognise the name as he recently won on his professional debut in Egypt on the Alps Tour. A really sound young guy started off his journey by being part of the Portumna team that won the All Ireland Junior Cup in 2018. For Sam this was only the start. Winning the Under 18 Close by 8, The Connaught stroke play in his home course by 10 this guys not only knows how to win, but win big. But not everything has been plain sailing for Sam. Injuries have been his downfall and for a number of years he would have been thinking whether golf was really for him. I am so glad he prevailed as he is now living the dream including becoming a winner on tour. This guy is one to watch and hopefully he can move up to the Hotel Planner or even the DP Tour in the next couple of years.

    Class Chats - Olivia Costello - Irish International and aspiring Pro

    Send us Fan Mail Welcome back to another Class Chat. In this episode Will catches up with Roscommon native Olivia Costello. At 17 years of age Olivia has already had a very successful golfing career and she is only getting started. From playing her first Senior Cup match at the age of 10 to getting to the semi final of the Irish Women's Close at 12 she is a tremendous talent. She also won the Irish Girls Open and Scottish Girls open in the same year and last year she won the Woodbrook Scratch Cup. Add to that being part of the Irish Girls European team who won bronze last year, being part of the 2024 Junior Vagliano team that finally beat the continent of Europe on the 8th attempt and also being part of the Women's Home internationals team that won the event in England last year. Olivia has done it all. With plans to go to LSU in America for college and also turning pro I think that this is only the start for a really amazing talent. I wish this wonderful lady every success in the future. Worth a listen. Follow us on Instagram @atocpod and follow our YouTube channel @PARfectlyclassy

    Class Chats - Claremorris GC - 2025 Pierce Purcell All Ireland Champions

    Send us Fan Mail Welcome back to another Class Chat. In this episode Will catches up with Claremorris Golf Club from Mayo who were victorious in the 2025 Pierce Purcell competition. On the call are Derek Reilly, Captain and 3 of the players, Tom Fanning Jnr, Rossa Higgins and Martin Murphy. Listen in as the lads bring us along their journey starting off with a tough opening match against long time rivals Castlebar and 4 other tough matches before winning the Connacht pennant in Athlone. Having played the Connacht final in Athlone they got their bit of luck as the All Ireland finals were also on in Athlone so maybe a bit more prep was done than other teams. But you still have to win 3 more matches to be crowned All Ireland Champions which they did with great victories over Jameson Links in the quarters, then Tramore in the semis and eventually overcoming a strong Cushendall team in the final. There are highs and lows and a Touch of Class from a Tramore Member along the way. Congratulations to this great bunch of lads.

    Class Chats - PGA Pro Gavin Young and Elite Amateur Niall Fitzgerald

    Send us Fan Mail Welcome back to another Class Chat. In this episode Will does something new. On the call he has PGA Professional Gavin Young and Elite Amateur Niall Fitzgerald. What is interesting about this is that they are teacher and student. Gavin is one of the teaching pros out of Ballyneety in Limerick which will host the Junior Ryder Cup in 2027. Before turning pro Gavin was a plus handicap golfer and started his trade in Adare Manor and had the pleasure of sharing a range session with Rory McIlroy. He has since moved on the Ballyneety and offers lessons out of the driving range in the club. Niall is an Ex Elite rugby player having worn the Munster Jersey underage up to under 20s and had a regimented strength and conditioning routine until he discovered through an injury that he would have to give up a sport that he loves. Turning to golf a little later than some he has now brought that determination from Rugby to golf and with the help of Gavin has goals of being one of the best in the country. Tune is to a great chat with two gentlemen and hear about how they work together but also how they are great friends.  Follow us on Instagram @atocpod and follow our YouTube channel @PARfectlyclassy
