Selected to represent Ireland at the Octagonal Matches, hosted by Costa Ballena Golf Club in Spain, Oliver made an immediate impression competing against experienced senior internationals. His success with the men’s team represents a significant milestone in his career and sends a clear signal about his future trajectory. Isaac was joined on the Irish team in Spain by Keith Egan (Carton House), David Howard (Fota Island), Jonathan Keane (Lahinch), Adam Fahey (Portmarnock), and John William Burke (Ballyhaunis).
