Show Notes
On this weeks pod, we return to our “Role of the PGA Professional“ series. We’re delighted to chat to one of the most well known and respected PGA Professionals in Ireland, John Byrne, the Head Professional at Royal Tara Golf Club.
We chat to John about his career to date, the challenges and opportunities facing Head Professionals and trainees in the ever changing role of a PGA Professional. We also discuss the Distance debate, junior golf and the impact both positive and negative that Covid has had on the golfing industry.
