    Must've got barred out of the Bothar Bui

    Saw Hale and Pace playing at Waterford Golf club in that Wogan Classic a few years ago - we pulled up at the top of New Rath - you know the tee box where you can see it from the road. One of the lads was a bit of a messer and let a roar at one of them just as he teed off and made him mi**** it. Cant print what happened next.

    The two lads are sound out. Didn't know paul was on the late late. Dunno who jimmy played for. Heard he was good alright. He went on goal a few years back and injured himself. Some laugh off him in fairness

    Meet a load of golfers out in the airport a few years ago after they played a tournament up in Mount Juliet. Ernie Els, Vijay Singh, Thomas Bjorn, Adam Scott and a few others. All nice guys who had no problem with autographs and posing for a picture or two.

    I think I have heard before that Golfers in general are usually very approachable. Outside of Tiger.
