@gavreilly Awful tie though.

Shane Lowry will be one of the Team Ireland Flagbearers for tonight’s Paris 2024 Opening Ceremony alongside Sarah Lavin!☘️ @ShaneLowryGolf | @TeamIreland #TeamIreland | #Paris2024 twitter.com/TeamIreland/st…

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 🙌

Today we said farewell to our Course Staff member, Edwin Hannon. Edwin joined us in 2006, and has always been popular with DGC members. We wish Edwin the very best, as he takes up the position of Head Greenkeeper at Blarney Golf Club. 🍀🍀🍀 @PaulODr28208726 @HartnettShane

@_etiihad DM sent.

@etihad I’m standing in a line for checkin for a flight to the World Amateur Team Championships and everyone in this line is on standby because you overbooked the bloody thing! In plenty of time for checkin too #clowns

Home is the heroine! Our 2023 Irish Ladies' Close Champion had a wonderful homecoming tonight! Well done, Sara! You've done Douglas and Cork proud once again! 👏 👏👏

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!

Day One Highlights from the 2023 European Men's and Ladies' Championships @Douglasgolfclub #Cork #EuropeanSeniors @EGA_golf @GolfIreland_

@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.

Sometimes I think about the 2018 World Amateur Team Championships at Carton House. Many people missed the chance to see some real talent. They were all there.
