After a busy couple of weeks chasing the dream of pro golf, I caught up with Max as he reflects on DP world tour Q-School.
We discussed the journey through the stages, what Max has lined up for the coming weeks & months and the choices he now has to make.
After gaining full status on the challenge tour next year will this be his new base, is the possibility of staying amateur for one more year to play walker cup a realistic option ?
He will head to the LIV promotion event in December and will also tee it up on the European tour before this year is up.

Nick grow up in Ireland and his passion for golf is a family affair, His love of the game has taken him to the worlds best courses
In 2020 Nick would face his biggest challenge when he was diagnosed with two forms of leukemia “And the blood cancer kind of mutated. And everything happened very, very quickly. It was kind of a case of literally going into the hospital for some blood tests and a few other tests.” “and by the end of that day, there was doctors kind of rushing around me. Everyone was in a bit of a panic. I could tell something had changed or something.”
“They kind of gave me at that point, like a 50, 50 chance of still being here in a year. And I said, look, a lot of things will need to line up for that to happen.”
“The hardest, the hardest time was post-transplant. Horrendous like it. Just I felt like I couldn't do anything.”
“Tomorrow is going to be better than today. And even if I had a horrendous day, I would say that to myself. And look, thankfully, I kind of got through that awful period.”

Seamus McMonagle's tale unfolds like a novel, an underdog's odyssey from the rugged shores of Donegal, In this episode, we stand shoulder to shoulder with Seamus as he navigates the challenges of a youth spent traversing Ireland for tournaments, to a punishing career in bricklaying, and back to the golf course fueled by a burning passion reignited under the Australian sun. His journey teaches us more than just resilience; it's a masterclass in adaptability and the relentless pursuit of one's calling.
As the conversation progresses, Seamus, with the ease of a seasoned coach, reflects on the subtleties of golfing technique, the importance of real-world playing conditions, and the virtues of a technology-lite approach to coaching. His philosophy, shaped by observing the likes of top coach Pete Cowan, focuses on the dynamics of body movement and the essential legwork crucial to mastering the game. This episode is peppered with anecdotes and insights, a rare opportunity to peer into the brain of a coach who sees beyond the swing, teaching us the profound impact of empathy and patience, whether you're on the golf course or riding the waves of the Atlantic.
We leave you with Seamus's parting thoughts on the paramountcy of impact in golf, with a nod to his coaching locations at Dunfanaghy and Latterkenny Golf Clubs, and Great Boy Driving Range in Galway. His narrative is a reminder that the most profound lessons in sports — and life — are often taught outside the comfort of a simulator, where the wind howls, the rain falls, and the real game is played. Listeners seeking to refine their game and embrace the wisdom of an unconventional path will find solace and inspiration in Seamus's story, a testament to the sheer power of passion, practice, and perseverance.
