321 - Course Diaries: Royal Portrush w/ Gary McNeill

Sam & Tom sit down with Gary McNeill, Head Professional at Royal Portrush, to talk about the club, the course, and his life in golf.

Gary enjoyed a distinguished amateur career, winning several provincial and national events — including the Irish Boys Championship in 1987 and the Irish Amateur Championship at Ballybunion in 1991. He represented Ulster and Ireland at every level, as well as Great Britain & Ireland at both Boys and Youths level.

Turning professional in 1993, Gary went on to lead the MacGregor Academy and serve as Head Coach to the Ulster teams before taking up his role at Royal Portrush. He’s a multiple winner on the Irish PGA circuit and famously played as a marker during the 148th Open Championship at Royal Portrush in 2019.
