Stroke play

So I think the combo of that's great.

Guys, we were stroke play on the front, and those guys were having a match, and we switched to a scramble on the back.

And it was a two-man scramble.

It was me and Larry versus Evan and Jared.

You got to the 10th hole.

It's

hard to compare stroke play versus a scramble where I've got a plus two putting into the fairway.

Tonight, I'm joined by an absolute titan of Irish amateur golf who has spent the last few seasons rewriting the history books.

Nearly two decades after renouncing himself to the nation with the legendary 2007 West of Ireland title, he has just capped off an extraordinary summer by completing the first ever Senior Treble, sweeping the Irish Senior Open at Castle Rock and the close stroke play at Dun Laoghaire to cement his status as a modern day legend.

But as Eroics stretch far beyond home soil, we track the incredible high of the 2025 European Senior Team Championship in Austria, where a top-stroke play qualifying before draining the tournament-winning putt to secure European gold for Ireland.

Tonight, we're diving into a lifetime spent on the fairways, from sharing fields with the young Rory McIlroy and Shane Lowry to his relentless modern dominance and what it really takes to stay at the very top of your game.

Before we dive in, do me a huge favour.

Funny to say it because only last week we were over at the Europeans and I had probably played the worst golf I'd played in 10 years and I lost all three matches for Ireland last week at the European championships.

Yeah.

there's a swing flaw I try to work it out myself for the most part my my match play record is very strong particularly team match play record I suppose you do lean on that a little bit when you're when you're getting down to the last nine holes of a stroke play championship and there's only one or two or three guys left you know haven't haven't had some success at match play there's elements of that that you can use all right yeah it gives you a bit of bit of self-belief too I suppose

Wai'alae Country Club Chu Golf Classics is a golf game set on the real-life course in East Honolulu, Hawaii.

There are six game modes, Wai'alae Open, Tournament Play, Stroke Play, Match Play, Skins Play, and Practice Play.

The Wai'alae Open is a four-round tournament with two preliminary rounds you must play well enough in to advance.

In Tournament Play, you'll play the final day of the Wiley Open.

In Stroke Play, you'll play to have the lowest score after all 18 holes, while in Match Play, you'll play to have the lowest score on a given hole, with the player having won the most holes as the winner.

Skins Play involves a cash prize at each hole, with the lowest scoring player winning that hole's prize.

To play any one individual hole, you can select Practice Play.

The golf courses I play up there are so fun.

I play a two-day stroke play tournament, which I won in 2023, and then I play a huge match play event, the SOGC, the Southern Oregon Golf Championship, or maybe it's Golf Classic.

I don't know.

It is an awesome tournament.

So let's get into the two tournaments and, uh, then the lessons.

So again, I played two tournaments up there.

The first one is a stroke play event, which I won in 2023, where I shot 68 71.

Um, and this year the winning score was 10 under, and it was not me.

Oh, well, no. There's no

medal play champion.

I thought there was a metal

play.

Riversdale Cup she won.

The English Women's, of course, uh, Stroke Play.

And as she mentioned, uh, later in the year she'll be aiming to get onto the Ladies European Tour.

We are going to take a break and, of course, return with another hour.

How, how much ...

Do you win by in Queensland?

Uh, it's, it's like stroke play, then match play.

Okay.
