[QUOTE="TheOutdoorThreadmill, post: 7430146, member: 47118"] Hi Finny, Tbh golf at college level in Ireland is almost exclusively dealt with by Maynooth, Paddy Harrington Scholarship. These also have the best facilities in Carlton House which is also the home of Golf Ireland and that is where also the Ireland junior development squads are based. These are fed from the provincial development squads, the Munster one used be based in FOTA but I think it is gone to Muskerry now. Manchip who is Lowrys coach is the head of golf Ireland coaching. Tbh it is a strange sport when it comes to making it so many avenues, Lowry and Mcilroy never went to college in American but I would hazard a guess that the majority of American PGA tour players did and that is their route. There is probably 3or4 players head stateside every year from Ireland but it is a case of big fish in a small pond to tiny fish in a huge pond for most of them. Few exceptions of the top my head, John Murphy, Mark Power did well in college there, Sarah Byrne is flying it at Miami. The last example I can really remember was the Boys U18 team about 3 or 4 years ago. There was 11 on the team. 7 went to the states, 2 to Maynooth and one turned pro, Tom McKibbon. Out of the 7 that went over, 3 came back after year or two and 2 changed colleges over there. [/QUOTE]
