@JimPowerEcon Looking forward to hearing your contribution later this afternoon at the @IGTOA_Events #UpTheBlues

Congratulations to @GOLFWESTPORT member Thomas McDonagh on his victory today.

Boys 9’s 2025 Leinster Trophy at @killeencastle . Champion- Thomas Mc Donagh @westportgc Runner Up- Jack Conlon @AthyGolfClub 3rd Place- Evan Kelleher @clonakiltyGC

@JustineStafford My good friend Michael Joe Ginnelly who passed away earlier this month. Thank you for the courtesy of the prompt reply.

@GOLFFOODADDICT It was I believe! Our director got in touch with the writer about it! :)

A few years ago we did a play called “A Wake In Nobber” and they put us in the paper. But they didn’t give the context that it was the title of the play, so it just looks like they photographed a group of happy mourners at a funeral and stuck it in the paper and I love it.

Rory and his trophy collection 🏆

@nathanmurf Surely only matched by Delaney's Olympic gold.

Rory has managed to condense every single hot take of the last 10 years into the last 19 holes. The sublime. The ridiculous. All worth it in the end. The greatest achievement by an Irish sportsperson. As good as it gets.

@EwanMacKenna Hilliarous.

Faldo, Woosnam, Lyle, Willett and now McIlroy. Is rare but takes those rare guts for the UK's best to do it in Augusta.

@neil_treacy Guilty as charged.

Would love to hear from someone who decided to park the golf for the night and just head to bed.

@DanielHussey2 A French couple that were staying with me attended a Connaught final in Castlebar. When I told them the stadium was part of the plan to bring the rugby World Cup to Ireland, they laughed, out loud & for a long time.

"The Claret Jug is coming to Mayo." My column in Tuesday's @thecontel What a headline! I haven't slept a wink in a week. #PONGW

@businessposthq I'll be watching on with interest.

The government is to fork out more than €100,000 for an “exceptional” project director to manage co-ordination in the run up to 2027’s Ryder Cup golf tournament at Adare Manor businesspost.ie/politics/gover…

I'm just back from a mini-break in Turkey. The service and value for money from @Ryanair was as excellent as it always is. Not everybody's cup of tea, but I've never had an issue. #JustSaying

@noriordan In years to come, if this proves to be a success, we will be kicking ourselves.

Column: As the government dithers LOI Academy funding, the private sector is filling some of the gaps on the education/football front. I had a look at the rapidly growing number of TY courses. It's meeting a demand but there's no strategic approach. thesun.ie/sport/14859126…

Started my bucket when I was 50. Don't stress in your 30s & 40s about travel. You'll have enough time (put all your energy into the kids.)

@AndyMitten Amazed at how many Utd fans were in Dublin airport this morning. Off to Turkey myself.

New UWS. No rain. Something not right here. What a day.

Our first big announcement for the 2025 season at Westport Golf Club. Please DM for information on team entries etc.

The Winter League is over. My column in Tuesday's @thecontel One can also look forward to a similar vibe in a few weeks when Connaught welcomes Munster to the county town but on reflection, I’m not quite sure how many of the sheepskin coat crowd play golf in Mayo.

@IndoSport Just like golf.

Paul Kimmage: Some see a game dominated by the privately educated, but rugby always had working-class support buff.ly/z4PxLHH
