My journey into golf and captaincy is a testament to finding my calling in unexpected places.
I was born the youngest of eight children in Kilkenny, Ireland.
I am retired having spent my working life, a long 47 years, in the legal profession initially in a Solicitors Office and later at the Law Society.
My late father, Paddy Phelan, was a legendary hurler (Ireland’s national game). From a young age it appeared I inherited little of my father’s immense sporting talent. However, I found my passion when I joined Coventry Hearsall in 2019 as an apprentice.
Despite my husband Kieran's and my own initial doubts, golf has been a transformative passion. Since joining the club, I've had the privilege of helping with the Ladies' Competition Committee and am now deeply honoured to be the Lady Captain for the 2025/2026 season.
