June Event

Well, last couple of holes and it’s been a real mixed bag out there. Oisin O’Malley has kept things tidy, turning in two straight pars at holes two and three to stay right on level. Stevie Geraghty, though, has slipped a little—he started with a par but followed it with a bogey on the next, hanging on at +1. Phil Staunton and Mike Rockall have both had tougher spells, with back-to-back bogeys bringing Phil to +3 and Mike to +1 respectively. It’s shaping up to be one of those stretches where a couple of shots can swing the whole complexion of the leaderboard—keep an eye on who steadies the ship from here.

Alright Phil Staunton—you’re +3 through 3 and somehow still acting like that bogey on 3 was a “strategy.” 😂 Finish strong, king of edging the pain! Can’t win ’em, but you sure can almost avoid penalties!

HAHA Evan O’Keeffe out here playing “bogey edition” like it’s a limited-time event. 🤡

Up to +5 through 4 and only 3 points—must be saving the good shots for the driving range parking lot. 🙃

Stay classy, stay short, stay… disappointed. 😂 #KeepItBogey #GolfTherapy

Alright, what a run it’s been out there over the last two holes. Danny Finn has copped it a bit—he’s made a par on 4 and then stayed at that +3 as he comes through hole five, so he’s still needing to tidy things up. Ryan Kelly, though, is the one finding momentum: he’s steady with a par at hole four and then pops in a birdie on hole five to hold E, right where he wants to be. And Liam Rockall—well, he’s not shying away from the scoreboard; after a bogey on hole four he fires back with a birdie on hole five, finishing those two holes sitting at +3. It’s all setting up nicely—Ryan’s got the legs right now.

Ryan Kelly has moved up the leaderboard with a birdie on Hole 5—a tidy little swing of momentum right at the right time. He’s sitting 6th for the moment, with 10 points on the board, and the round trend is heading downhill in his favour.

It’s the kind of finish you want from the middle of the round: controlled, clinical, and sending a message to the rest of the field.

Rivalry update: Ryan Kelly is coming in hot on the course—he just carded a birdie on Hole 5 to climb to 3rd at 10 total points.

In this back-and-forth rivalry, this is the kind of momentum swing that tightens the gap fast: with the round trend declining, Kelly’s ability to keep shaving strokes (and points) will put fresh pressure on his rival every time they step into the next scoring opportunity.

Right now, it’s not just about who hits the better shot—it’s about who holds the nerve when the leaderboard starts moving. Kelly’s doing that through this push.

Liam Rockall just nudged the rivalry spotlight back on track—he’s bagged a birdie on Hole 5 and sits 16th with 7 points so far. The round trend is declining, which is exactly the kind of momentum that tends to swing a head-to-head matchup: one sharp start, and suddenly the pressure moves to the other side.

In this rivalry, Rockall’s best weapon right now is rhythm—if he can keep the birdies coming and maintain the drop in form, he’ll force his rival to play catch-up instead of dictating the terms.

Alright, in the last couple of holes and the scoreboard’s starting to take shape! Padraig Burke started with a birdie at the second but wasn’t immune to the ups and downs—he dropped a bogey at the third, so he’s sitting steady at -1 overall. Paul O’Donnell had the real swing of the match: after a bogey on hole 2, he came straight back with an eagle on hole 3—that’s the kind of shot that changes momentum, and he’s now still safe at -2. Meanwhile Tony McHale and Alan Dempsey have both kept things pretty square—two pars for Tony leaves him at +2, and two even pars for Alan means he’s hanging right on even.

Paul O’Donnell is putting together a big-time rhythm out there—smooth tempo, crisp start lines, and a swing that just keeps wanting to get better with every rep. His ball striking has that confident “no overthinking” look, and you can feel the control in both the irons and the way he’s sending his wedges close. For a player who’s sitting 1st with 8 points, this is exactly the kind of momentum you build on—clean, repeatable, and electric. He’s not just playing golf today… he’s commanding it.

🚨 Netflix rumor alert

Looks like Paul O’Donnell could be rolling onto next season of Full Swing… and after an eagle on Hole 3 to sit 1st with 8 points, we’re not saying he’s the new drama-free swing savant—just that he’s definitely got main-character energy.

Personality-wise? Think: cool under pressure, the kind of player who stays calm on the back nine and then sneaks in a highlight reel when nobody expects it. On the show? Expect behind-the-scenes grit, candid “what just happened” moments, and at least one fearless take when the producers ask, “So… are you feeling confident?” 😏

Paul O'Donnell has just struck again on Hole 3—and it’s an eagle! That’s a bold swing of momentum, and he’s sitting 1st in the clubhouse right now.

Eight points on the board and a round that’s clearly improving. This is the kind of start that makes everyone else look over their shoulder.

Rivalry update: Paul O'Donnell is making a statement early. He’s just popped an eagle on Hole 3, vaulting himself to 1st with 8 total points, and the round trend is improving.

In this rivalry, that’s the kind of swing that tends to rattle the other side—because O'Donnell isn’t just keeping pace, he’s putting pressure on his opponent’s patience. If he can keep stacking low scores while his rhythm stays smooth, this head-to-head could quickly tilt into “chase mode” for the rival.

Padraig Burke digs in on Hole 3 and comes through with a bogey, but he’s doing it with the kind of momentum you like to see—first in the field and sitting on 7 points.

That -1 on the day keeps the pressure on, and with the round trend improving, you can feel the bounce growing as he steadies himself and looks to turn this back into something bold over the next stretch.

Well, we’ve had a real course-correction from the field. Padraig Burke stays put at -2 after two—he’s still the man to chase. Then it’s all about how the rest manage the pressure: Alan Dempsey, Stevie Geraghty, Oisin O’Malley, and Paul O’Donnell are all clustered at E, which tells you the scoring’s there if you’re sensible and strike it clean, but there’s no room for costly misses. Mike Rockall dropping back to E after two is the reminder that being in front early doesn’t buy you safety.

Up the leaderboard, things are starting to separate too: Phil Staunton has climbed to +2 after two, and Ryan Kelly is at +1 after four—those are the lads who’ll need to steady the ship fast if they want to get back into contention. Meanwhile Daire Greene stays at +2 after three, so you’ve got two at the same number doing their best to convert chances, while Ciaran Considine sits at E after five, quietly battling for position.

Oi Liam Rockall… +4 through 4 and you’ve got the energy of a rangefinder with anxiety. That bogey on 4 was pure “close enough” — and somehow the hole didn’t even buy it. Declining trend, eh? Keep digging, champ. ⛳️😬

Mike Rockall is cruising along in second place after a neat little bogey on Hole 2. It’s not the kind of start that sends the crowd into a frenzy, but it keeps him in the game—and right now he’s sitting on 4 points overall.

And the best bit? The round trend is declining, which means he’s tightening things up when it matters—still very much with a chance to swing momentum as the holes open up.

Right now, it’s a bit of a reshuffle at the top: Padraig Burke has dropped from -1 to -2 after two—credit where it’s due, that’s a statement. Mike Rockall remains best of the rest at -1 after one, while Alan Dempsey and two of the steady ones, Oisin O’Malley and Stevie Geraghty, are all at E. That’s a classic “tight but tense” middle of the card, with plenty of players ready to pounce.

But the momentum really swings further down: Paul O’Donnell has moved to E after two, which suggests a couple of holes didn’t quite fall for him. Meanwhile, the +1 crew—Phil Staunton after one and Ryan Kelly after three—are hanging on, and then you’ve got Daire Greene moving up to +2 after three. When someone’s back at +2 early, it usually means a scramble hole—or a missed chance to keep the pressure on—so keep an eye on whether he can bounce back quickly with a bit of aggression.

Alright, I’m hearing some clubhouse chatter about Daire Greene, sitting at 10th with just 4 points: apparently he’s been working overtime on a “new” way to tame his tempo—same swing, different rhythm—because the boys noticed he’s been spending more time on the practice green than the putting green. And get this, the rumor is he’s angling to go a touch more aggressive off the tee this week, not because he needs the distance, but because he wants to take the long irons out of the story. If that pace holds, watch his short game—because that’s where the whispers say he’ll cash in.

DAIRE GREENE out here playing like the golf course is optional… Hole 3 you drop a dbl bogey and now we’re like “ok cool, we’re just donating strokes.” 😭👏

Up to 11th and only +2 through 3—champ, that’s not a comeback, that’s a plot twist.

Daire Greene is starting to find himself in a familiar kind of duel—this rivalry isn’t fading, it’s just getting sharper. Through Hole 3, Greene marked a double bogey, and right now he’s sitting at the 10th position with 4 total points.

And that’s the key in this head-to-head: when momentum dips, the rival usually senses blood in the water. With the round trend declining, Greene will need to flip the script fast—because in this matchup, one loose spell can turn into a scoreboard gap that’s hard to close.
