2026 Walker Cup Preview with Lahinch Golf Club Member

Lahinch Golf Club member Barry O'Mahoney joins the program to discuss the culture of Lahinch Golf Club, dive into the course, and give some local recommendations ahead of the 2026 Walker Cup

Written By

Beau Scroggins and I had the chance to lead a Fried Egg Golf Club trip to SW Ireland this spring and were completely taken by Lahinch Golf Club. With the 2026 Walker Cup right around the corner, we wanted to talk to a Lahinch expert. So for this month's FEGC Hangout and Podcast, we brought on friend of the program and Lahinch member Barry O'Mahony. Barry grew up just east of Lahinch and played the course as a kid before joining as a an international member as an adult. He now lives in Chicagoland but still frequents Southwest Ireland. This chat is filled with course insight, a hole-by-hole breakdown, and some local knowledge about what pubs to visit while in town.

Thanks to Barry for the time and to you all for tuning in!

About the author

Will Knights

Golf was a big part of my upbringing as I grew up with a PGA Professional as a dad. I went to the course with him in the morning, helped out in the pro shop, caddied, and ultimately played golf in college before helping out in the early days of Fried Egg. While I’ve been involved in many different aspects of our organization over the years, today you’ll largely find me at our events and helping our membership as our Community Manager. And while I love this position, my dream job will always be starting shortstop for the Chicago Cubs.
