    Dylan Beirne Explains Golf Ireland's new Stroke Gained Rating System | Ep.298

    At its 2026 Season Launch in Carton House, Golf Ireland unveiled a pilot for a system which will statistically rate the performance of male and female players in scratch events all over Ireland.  The Golf Ireland Strokes Gained Ratings system has been devised in partnership with Quantum Sports Data, and will be driven by results collected not only from Golf Ireland championships and events, but also from the considerable schedule of Men’s and Women’s Senior Scratch Cups which are organised by clubs all over Ireland.  Dylan Beirne, Founder & CEO of Quantum Sports Data joins us on the podcast to explain further how exactly this adjusted strokes gained data will work and what it means for elite Irish amateur golfers. The pilot will run through the 2026 season with a view to its introduction in 2027 as a new primary qualification method for all men’s and women’s championships on the Bridgestone Orders of Merit, as well as - potentially - for talent identification purposes and for selection for teams and coaching panels.  Using scoring data returned to Golf Ireland’s WHS Clubhouse platform, players will receive an Adjusted Strokes Gained rating which will be driven by their scores over a rolling two-year period.  Adjusted Strokes Gained measures how many strokes better or worse a golfer performs in each round compared to an average championship-level player, accounting for course difficulty and playing conditions.  During the pilot season the ratings will be updated once a month, on the first day of each month on which no eligible event is taking place.

    Tiger's Car Crash Worries | Ep.293

    Tiger Woods has been involved in another serious car accident and we discuss how things have come to this and what it means for us as Tiger fans. We were invited to the 2026 Golf Ireland season launch in Carton House and there are some exciting developments being made. Join us on the podcast as we continue our "Mount Rushmore" of Irish golf courses, ranking the top three golf club options in each county. Inspired by recent lists, we explore the best courses, beginning alphabetically. This segment looks into the rich history of golf across Ireland, including Northern Ireland, providing insights into various golf resort experiences. We'll be joined by guests to make the argument for why certain courses should be ranked 1, 2 and 3 and why others won't make the podium at all.
