@gregallenRTE @philreidgolf Great photo. It’s actually now TUD Greg. Was DIT when I was there… admittedly many years ago!

And there was still a queue late into evening. TDs, teachers, caretakers, plumbers, priests & Protestant clergy. People from all over the island. In the 4hour queue, new friendships were formed, numbers exchanged.
In death, as in life, Tommie Gorman bringing people together. 🙏🏻

I don’t understand the anger about the golf ball roll back. It will make no difference whatsoever to the average golfer and puts golf back on a path of sustainability. It will also help bring back certain skills in the pro game that have been eradicated over the past 2 decades.

The people who are upset about this decision shouldn’t be mad at the governing bodies, they should be mad at elite pros and club/ball manufacturers because they didn’t want bifurcation. The governing bodies presented us with that option earlier this year. Elite pros and ball manufacturers think bifurcation would negatively affect their bottom lines, when in reality, the game is already bifurcated. You think we play the same stuff you do? They put pressure on the governing bodies to roll it back to a lesser degree for everyone. Bifurcation was the logical answer for everyone, but yet again in this game, money talks.

📺 This year Golf Ireland facilitated an innovation project targeting people from ethnically diverse backgrounds ⛳

We partnered with @sariireland & @GlencreeCentre to deliver the project, which was supported financially by @sportireland and the Dormant Accounts Fund 🙌

Home is the heroine!

Pleasure to work with a top man @MrStimpmeter on the European Seniors. Doing that tournament setup was a lot of fun which is important when you’re getting up for work in the middle of the night!

@IrishGolfDesk Perception may be that the spectator numbers were disappointing but context is important. Amateur golf in Ireland gets far more footfall than other countries and WATC in Ireland was no exception - the international officials were stunned at how many people came out to watch.
