Carr Golf’s annual Father & Daughter in Waterville puts the focus on that complex, caring, loving and layered relationship between fathers and their daughters.
The venues are Dooks Golf Club and Waterville Golf Links, two of the best in Ireland. The game of golf is the excuse and opportunity to get together and, as co-founder Jimmy Layden likes to say: “For daughters to see their fathers in their natural habitat.” And that works both ways. Which, in essence, is why it lends itself to so many special moments and memories.
“The first Father & Daughter, dad looked at me and said, ‘I think we just became good friends,’” says Sophie Carr, the daughter of Roddy Carr, who’s the brother of Marty Carr, the other co-founder of the tournament.
Fathers and daughters becoming good friends is a common theme throughout the 15 years of this event.

Now, on an all new Need A 4th: the gentle wisdom of a golfing legend, Mr. Ben Crenshaw! In this episode, Alan Shipnuck, Geoff Ogilvy and Michael Bamberger visit with the only man who could have found his way to the World Golf Hall of Fame wearing two different hats, one as a player (two-time winner of the Masters) and the other as an architect (Sand Hills, just for starters).
Geoff has played in loads of tournaments with Crenshaw, and Alan and Michael have been interviewing him for years, but in this conversation they all heard things they had not before. Ben talks about the new 13th tee at Augusta National, and his memories of playing there as an amateur.
Geoff asks Ben about the secrets to putting, and you wont have to be a U.S. Open winner (as Geoff is) to understand the wisdom of what Ben says!
Ben speaks movingly about his love for the game, for The Country Club, for caddies, for courses. Need a good listen? Allow us to offer, “Need A 4th?!”
