In the second and final part of this Class Chats series, Will Griffith continues his conversation with David Shiel, the 2023 Irish Order of Merit Champion, to uncover what it really takes to put together a season like his.

If Part 1 was about the emotional grind of championship golf, Part 2 is about the payoff - the performances that mattered, the lessons that stuck, and the pride of pulling on the green jersey as an Irish International. David speaks openly about representing his country, the pressure that comes with it, and the moments that made the journey worthwhile.

And then comes the big question: Would he take the same rollercoaster year all over again… or trade it for one massive win?  His answer says everything about who he is as a competitor.

Topics Covered:

• What it means to become an Irish International
• The standout memories from the 2023 season
• The mental shift after winning the Order of Merit
• How he reflects on the highs and lows with distance
• The trade‑off between consistency and chasing a marquee victory
• What he wants next in his career

A brilliant finish to a two‑part story - honest, thoughtful, and full of the perspective that only comes from living a season at the very top of Irish amateur golf.

In this episode, Will Griffith sits down with David Shiel, the 2023 Irish Order of Merit Champion, for the first of a two‑part deep dive into the season that changed everything for him.

Part 1 focuses on the emotional reality of elite amateur golf — the highs that make it all worthwhile, and the lows that test every part of you. David opens up about the moments that shaped his year, the pressure of chasing points across Ireland, and the mindset shift that ultimately pushed him to the top of the Order of Merit.

This is not just a recap of results. It’s the story of a player who lived every swing, every setback, and every breakthrough.

Topics Covered:

• The journey to becoming the 2023 Irish Order of Merit Champion
• The toughest stretches of the season and how he handled them
• Key turning points that rebuilt his confidence
• The mental battles behind championship golf
• What it feels like to carry momentum - and what it costs
• How he balances expectation, form, and self‑belief

A raw, honest, and brilliantly insightful conversation with one of Ireland’s most consistent performers. Part 2 continues the story — but this is where the emotional heartbeat of the season lives.
