About My Career Path

From Kinsale to Dallas Texas to St Andrews, I’ve spent over a decade competing, learning, and building a serious career in golf. This page documents what I’m doing on tour, who I’m working with, and how I’m constantly improving.

I’ve represented Ireland, led my university golf team, won on the amateur circuit, caddied on the Challenge Tour and DPWT, and now compete full-time from the UK to the US - with full status on the Tartan Pro Tour in Scotland for 2025. My goal is to climb the ranks through smart scheduling, real preparation, and strategic progress.

Career Vision

This isn’t just about making cuts or climbing leaderboards. It’s about long-term success on the course and in how I carry myself through the sport. My business plan is centered around performance, mentorship, and modern development through data and human connection, and most importantly doing my part in making the game more accessible.

I split my year between Ireland, USA and Scotland. I train like a pro and operate like a coach. And I’m building something that supports both paths at once.

Whether I’m competing, coaching, creating tutorials, or helping others through custom built AI-backed feedback systems - everything connects to one goal: Progress.

More about me

Apart from spending majority of my life on the golf course - I studied Marketing at MTU Cork and graduated in June of 2021 with a Bachelor of Business (Honours) in Marketing.  In 2019, during my time at MTU Cork I was awarded the Senior Sportsperson of the year award in 2019 after finding success in the game. This is one of my proudest moments as not only was I up against other golfers, but also all the athletes across all sports in the University. Following my graduation I spent my time evenly between the US and Scotland, networking in the golf industry and honing my game. During the off season of 2024 I decided to dive back into my studies further off my own initiative to discover the stones I had left unturned in the world of marketing. This became an in-depth personal study which broadened my knowledge on the world we live in today and the effects of efficient marketing - and more. Alongside this I was re-introduced to the industry that is Artificial Intelligence. I spent the rainy days learning, experimenting and implementing different types of AI into my lifestyle between my golf and my business, before developing a custom built AI tool to aid me with my golf career.  The sunny days were, and always will be, spent on the links.

Coaches

I have been primarily self taught in the past 5 years. Personally I feel more value in trusting my own knowledge and opinions on the golf swing. I find it comforting to know my own swing and my specific set of different feels. I work off ball flight and tie the results back to my swing to make connections. No two swings are the same, so I focus on my own movements through feel and getting the most out of my swing. I strategically dive in and out of recording my swing and using video analysis. I also use a custom built AI tool to investigate strategy, swing feels, golf psychology techniques and more, producing one of a kind results and recommendations. I am currently fine tweaking this tool with full intentions to roll it out to gofers around the world, read more here.

My coach is a tool that I built myself - And it will be yours too
