A Touch Of Class Will Griffith / Tom Dowdall / Barry Doyle

In this Class Chat Will catches up with Lauren Flynn who is the Accreditation Manager for the DP World Tour. A fascinating person who has international caps for Ireland in Basketball and comes from a strong sporting family. Take a trip along with Lauren as she takes us from her early days all the way through to some lovely stories about her time in the DP World Tour. Although coming later in life to Golf I think that Lauren has caught the bug and is as addicted as the rest of us are. She just plays the courses we only dream about.  

In our latest class chat Barry caught up with Mike Carrol. Mike is the man behind Fitforgolf, a hugely successful strength and conditioning app for golfers of all levels. Mike has pga tour winning clients such as Seamus Power, recent winner Stephen Jaeger, Mackenzie Hughes and many more.

Great opportunity to listen to someone who excels in their chosen career.
