I just watched the BBC News headlines and they said "Northern Ireland's Darren Clarke". Maybe you should take them to task on that.


Golf in Northern Ireland has boundaries. I played Ulster Boys and Ulster Youths. Those competitions begin and end in Ulster. All interprovincial competitions are exactly that, played firstly within their provinces. Likewise we have the North of Ireland Amatuer Championship.


In Northern Ireland we have few great sporting heroes who are known internationally; George Best, Alex Higgins, Barry McGuigan being a few. Its great to be able to add golfers Graeme, Rory and Darren to the list.


Who would have thought NI would have had 3 golf majors in 13 months having only had one (Fred Daly) in the previous 100 years. Brilliant for such a little place.

I know you Alan M/LM we had met a few times.This was only a jock but some people think is very easy to wash

their hands in cold water after carpentry so for that rason I am out for good and once for all.

I enjoyed the docu on Rory late Sunday night, did anyone else see it?

It was good to see how his family keep him grounded and that he still maintains strong links with the Province, such as going back to his old school with the US Open trophy.

The news yesterday that he has recently split up with with girlfriend might explain his demeanour and strange comments after the Open about the weather...he should be used to the rain and wind.

Yes - it was excellent.


I spotted a Range Rover and an Audi Q7, for a guy who has no kids yet. Not to mention the Bentley.


Seems a very settled guy and its a shame he has split from his girlfriend - but he must be tempted to take advantage of some of the offers he gets and may be better in the long term if he enjoys himself for a few years before settling down.


With that hair, he must get a lot of offers.

  • 3 months later...
  • 2 months later...
  • 1 month later...
  • 4 months later...
  • 1 month later...

It's his choice. He is I think from a family of mixed religion, so no clear indication there and so he really is going to find it difficult to choose. I don't think his choice will actuallly upset anyone.


If he chooses GB he might get to play with Gmac, but more realistically 3 English players. If that is likely to happen he may be swayed towards Ireland, if Gmac does not get picked for GB.

    • Hate people who let off loud fireworks.  We had neighbours two doors down who used to let off the extremely loud fireworks in their back garden.   This was usually, but not always, on the days around Guy Fawkes and New Year’s.  It was torture.  I felt as if I was in the middle of them and it seemed as if they were directly outside our windows. I often involuntarily screamed as they were so loud and startling.  The dog was petrified and I was worried they would crash into the house or garden. Thankfully they’ve moved and taken their firework obsession with them.  I know someone whose dog collapsed and died during a bout of neighbourly fireworks.  Many dogs and cats go missing during firework season due to trying to escape from them.
    • Hi, We are looking at a property on Croxted Road near the Turney Road across the Garden Centre). I wanted to get people's sense on: 1. Road and train-line noise (house is on side sandwiched between street and the rail line) 2. Secondary schooling - lots of good state primaries, but I don't think there is a catchment for a good secondary The proximity to Herne Hilla and Dulwich Villages is nice as are properties on that street, but bit concerned about the above especially given required mortgage levels we might not be able to do private secondary. Thanks
    • It is supported housing run by RNIB, None of the residents support the new build as some of them would be made homeless with no guarantee of being rehoused in suitable accommodation. The rebuild will be the destruction of a communal lounge and grounds. There is an oak tree in the grounds which is several hundred of years old and has a tree preservation order. My husband's family used to live at this address and the grounds were gifted to the RNIB by his great aunt (Doctor Grace Batten) on the grounds that the tree is never cut down.
    • I think you will find that the majority of venues will not be open after midnight as in predominantly residential areas. Southwark have a list of venues to hire - you may find something that is open until 1 am. My granddaughter usually goes up town if wants a venue open until 2/3 pm
