There’s scarcely a golfer on Earth in better form than Seamus Power. Now inside the world’s top-50 with a Masters debut likely, Power can afford to dream much bigger than that

Finding a way through the demoralising frustration of playing bad golf

How often do we come to a crossroads in golf – give up or play on? Perhaps more often than we’d like to admit but this game will get to you, whether you’re a PGA Tour pro or a modest hacker

Is Seamus Power getting the recognition he deserves in Ireland?

“I think now he’s got that maiden victory, he’ll go on to really establish himself but then it’s a bit of a shame as what he’s been doing kind of goes unnoticed in Ireland”

‘If these players are as good as we know they are, then they should be properly tested more often, with their wits pitted against the best course designers instead of being let bowl with the bumpers up’

Challenge yourself in 2022

‘I want to throw a challenge at you as we start this series of articles by asking you a simple question – Could it be POSSIBLE for you to have a great golfing year in 2022? Is it possible? That is the challenge’

New to the game? You’ve got a friend in me

The pandemic has been good for golf, all things considered, but the influx of new blood has brought with it understandable inexperience, and it’s up to long-time players of the game to bring them up to speed

The PGL – They’ve not gone away, you know

‘That there are 48 PGA Tour-sanctioned events annually yet only a handful where all the top talent is present, is criminal, and that these elite players all earn more off the course than they do on it is maybe worse’

Tiger Woods and the Christmas Miracle

‘We twirled clubs, played Nike swoosh balls. I even wore red on Sundays at Mass, though Mam was mortified by my Robbie Fowler embroidered Liverpool jersey beside her in the pew’
