I enjoy keeping things as digital as I can, yet I still have a soft spot for a physical planner.

I'm kicking off the year with the new 1% Diary.

Back at the Aviva tonight to see Leinster take on Clermont in the Champions Cup. It's fantastic to see Jordie Barrett starting in a Leinster jersey. Great game but room for improvement. A win is a win 🔵💪🏻🦁

Too many courses, too little time!

With so many famous #golf courses around #Ireland, it is easy to ignore the sparkling quality that few beyond our shores hear about.

Here’s one. Ring of Kerry Golf Club. Tee shot on par-3 13th with the beauty of Kerry beyond.

Anyone played it?

Not the ideal weekend for getting out on the course, but I still managed to sneak in a few holes at K Golf World.

Great to see clubs investing in facilities that make it possible for players to enjoy the game all year round! #businessofgolf
