With McIlroy’s back-to-back Augusta wins still fresh amid growing excitement for the Ryder Cup’s return to Ireland, the opening of Cork’s first-ever indoor golf simulator can not come at a better time for childhood friends and business partners Ben Quigley and Rob O’Callaghan.

The duo, both seasoned players and caddies, took inspiration from their travels and work in Florida, where indoor golf has evolved from a little-known novelty into a staple across golfing hotspots.
