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.

    • It took the Tories 14 years to dig that 20bn blackhole. It's taken Labour 14 months to double it.  You cant get rid of Reeves though because the next person will actually be totally incompetent. There are no MPs in Labour capable of performing better than the current shower.
    • Thanks P. That sounds like a bargain compared to other horror stories I've heard! 
    • DD, "Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃" At least the economy and unemployment weren't in the mess they are now. What is it, give the public sector a whopping pay increase with no strings attached, double the black hole and then blame it on the last Govt. Give me strength. Rachel from accounts shouldn't be anywhere near the economy. The final straw was increasing employer NI contributions and look how that's worked out. Month on month both inflation and unemployment have risen. Won't be long before inflation and u/e are exceeding 5%, but guess what, They'll blame Sunak and go.  Lets have a snap election right NOW, then see how poorly Starmer, Reeves and Rainer do. They're already plotting to get rid of Starmer, and if you think its bad now, you ain't seen nothing yet. Oh and did I mention Starmer wanting to stop Freedom of Speech............................................Normal people can see right through what him and co are doing, great at spending other peoples money, him and co don't have = bankruptcy. We'll just repeat the economic collapse that happened in Greece and wasn't it in Italy as well?
    • One of the best of Shakespeare 's plays.  I did Othello for A level. Also seen a number of stage and film versions. Is there any specific aspects of the play that is difficult for your daughter to understand?
