Irish golf title comes under new ownership

9.47am 11th February 2025 - Media

Talk Golf Ireland, the free monthly Irish golf newspaper formerly known as Tee to Green, has been bought by Sharon Smurfit, the former Director of Golf at The K Club.

Aimed at club golfers, Talk Golf Ireland, which changed its name towards the end of last year, provides both quarterly print editions and monthly digital issues, and covers club news, course reviews and expert insights and its print version is distributed to clubs, golf venues and golf retail outlets around Ireland.

The next print edition, scheduled for release in early 2025, promises a blend of engaging articles, tournament recaps, and tips from leading professionals all delivered in a concise, reader-friendly format. In addition, the brand will unveil a completely revamped website, providing a dynamic online hub for readers, clubs, and advertisers.

Smurfit said: “I’m honoured to take over the reins of Talk Golf Ireland. This publication has a longstanding reputation in the Irish golfing community, and my goal is to advance that legacy by offering a powerful platform where local clubs can share their news, results, and key messages directly with their own communities — across digital, social, and print editions.

“We want to celebrate what makes Irish golf so special, the camaraderie, the tradition, and the incredible talent at every level of the game. My vision is to bring this publication back to its grassroots and to be even more connected with golf clubs nationwide.”

As a leading golf consultant, Smurfit has already contributed significantly to the success of major events, including the 2016 Irish Open, as well as acting as a trusted advisor to golf committees, managers, and tournament organisers. Her skill in bringing people and brands together both on and off the course underscores her commitment to strengthening Ireland’s golf community.

“This is a newspaper for everyone and is a great resource for clubs and I would strongly encourage them to avail of the various low-cost options we offer to help them to promote their club and share their news,” Smurfit continued. “We are offering unique advertising packages where advertisers can take advantage of an annual subscription for four issues of the printed publication and the digital magazine.”
