Jimmy Kinsella-A Golden Anniversary

12 months on from a memorable Open Championship at Royal Portrush, Shane Lowry’s defence has been put on hold, due to the Global Pandemic.

His talent as a links exponent first received worldwide attention when he captured the Irish Open on the European Tour in 2009, as an amateur. He was only 22. It was a indication of what was to become for the gifted golfer from Clare in County Offaly.

In this podcast, Niche Media digs out one of its first podcasts, which was recorded on the evening of Lowry’s spectacular win over the Baltray links at County Louth Golf Club.

IN this unique piece of archive, a moment in time is captured, as friends, colleagues, fans and even the Irish Prime Minister reflect on the win that had just taken place and the look to the future prospects of this amiable Irishman, on the cusp of a professional career.

Shane Lowry: A Moment in Time

At the 2017 Memorial Tournament, Shane O’Donoghue interviewed legendary scribe, Kaye Kessler.

Kaye witnessed Jack Nicklaus’ first ever lesson in golf, as a 10 year old in 1950 at his local club, Scioto Country Club.

Nobody has covered the career of Jack Nicklaus more than Kaye Kessler. Aged 93 at the time of the interview, his recall was amazing and his trained journalistic brain as sharp as ever.
