Episode 26 is live and the big one is coming. Padraig and Eimear are heading to Portsalon, Donegal this weekend for the very first Scratch Social golf trip and this episode is the build up.

They cover a busy week on tour, Cam Young's stunning form and whether it can last, Jon Rahm's route back to Ryder Cup eligibility, Justin Rose teeing it up with his new McLaren clubs, and Nelly Korda winning again in Mayacoba. Plus a chat about LIV Golf, where it is all heading, and what Paul McGinley had to say about it in person.

Then it is all about Portsalon. What to pack, how many golf balls you actually need on a links course, hand warmers versus the G-Tech, socks, and what will make the trip a success.

Send us your suggestions for places to eat, drink and visit in Donegal. And let us know how many golf balls you think each of us will lose.

Episode 25 is here and it is a big one. Padraig and Eimear cover a packed week across the tours, the Irish amateur game, gear news and the question everyone in golf is asking right now.

This week we get into the Fitzpatrick brothers at the Zurich Classic, Nelly Korda winning another major at the Chevron Championship, and the inaugural Women's South of Ireland Amateur Championship at Lahinch. Padraig was on the ground for that one, camera in hand, and has plenty to say about the standard of golf on show.

There is also a round at Portmarnock, two big fashion brands entering the golf market, the ongoing LIV Golf situation, Ryder Cup 2027 captain news, and a golf trip to Portsalon coming very soon.
