Episode 1508: Raised For Greatness, Coco Rises, Lahinch And The Birth Of Irish Tourism, Jersey Guff
Eoin marked your cards yesterday, but even then it was a shock to see 15 year old Cori Gauff take on and beat Venus Williams in straight sets on the first day of Wimbledon. We talk to Racquet Magazine’s Caitlin Thompson about the young prodigy, how she was raised for greatness… and how she can win Wimbledon (yes, the whole thing) this year.
The Irish Open comes to Lahinch later this week, and the history of that golf club is basically the history of golf, and of Irish tourism, in this country. Professor Mike Cronin, author and historian talks wild goats, the West Clare Railway, and Trump.
Murph has very special family memories of Lahinch, and since it’s his birthday we have a special celebrity greeting for our western correspondent.
