Golf fans hoping for a glimpse of the genteel side of professional golf will likely be disappointed with a Solheim Cup spectacle, writes John Huggan in The Scotsman ( bit.ly/ocm6Yf 18 December 2011). The reported bad behaviour of previous US players Beth Daniel, Dottie Pepper and Christina Kim would never be tolerated by a lady captain’s…

The Trust Curve
by Dominic O'Byrne •
In 2007 and 2008 the business of sourcing news from all over the world was straightforward. It looks set to become so once again. From the laptop I ran a successful 2-way communications channel with client distributor networks around the world. A lot of it was habit: once they got used to it they were…

What’s important
by Dominic O'Byrne •
Between 2002 and 2008 we enjoyed (seriously enjoyed) boom time in golf. We’ll do figures later, but this has been like a siege. Clients and suppliers have generally managed to get by.

False Prophets of Recovery?
by Dominic O'Byrne •
How much fun has it been holding our breaths for the last two and a half years, Guys? Nanoseconds before the bubble burst for golf in about July 2008, my coterie of clients were planning (and doing) big. Our stalwarrt global distributor & retailer network was fully engaged and doing brisk business; they weren’t perhaps to know…

This needn’t happen here
by Dominic O'Byrne •
If we can learn lessons from a blighted business sector we ought to. Alongside golf, one of my greatest passions is playing guitar. Sounds glam, perhaps, but it isn’t. I play for my own amusement really… a few times a month at Mass and at the odd party when the intake of drink emboldens me far…
