"To fund his golfing ambitions, McIlroy's parents took on extra jobs. Gerry worked 100 hours a week; he cleaned toilets and showers at a local sports club in the mornings, served as a bartender at Holywood Golf Club from 12 to 6 pm, then returned to the sports club to work behind the bar in the evenings. Rosie looked after Rory during the day, and worked night shifts packaging rolls of tape at a 3M factory in Bangor, County Down. Due to their conflicting schedules, McIlroy's parents rarely saw each other during this period. Gerry later said: "I had no idea what else to do. I’m a working-class man. We wanted to give our only child a chance."
After finding success as a professional golfer, McIlroy bought his parents a house in 2009, and stated: "I’ll never be able to repay Mum and Dad for what they did, but at least they know they’ll never have to work another day. I’ll do whatever it takes to look after them."
These dudes have been calling each other the worst President in history for 80 straight minutes — and neither one of them got really offended until their golf skills were questioned. Hahaha.
@bigslacker321@PatGallenCBS3 I still live with deep regret that the game where there were two of us he was too far away for us to unite��� and that he didn’t hear me screaming down #Stutessquad
I interrupt my Twitter (X?) hiatus to share what a fun experience it was to sit in on live radio with @SportsRadioWIP - what a fun and welcoming group! #porkonthefork@JamesSeltzer
Say what you want, this went on waaaay too long… 10 full blown snow angels. There’s absolutely 0% chance that Thibodeaux didn’t know Foles was hurt. He even gives him a glance after his 6th.
Absolute 🤡
