Yes, it’s no surprise that I don’t like a retirement game… wow. And you’re in desperate need of new material, mate.
I only got into Golf lately myself, I wouldn’t be any good, but in the Bussines world its where the serious operators conduct business, that dole sponging layabout wouldn’t know anything true success
Did you ever break into the clubhouse in Rathbane kid?
The council have spent a fortune boarding it up from ferral rodents in southill. Didn’t ye shit all over the greens one night sure, a good laugh for ye id say.

I find it very hard to believe a successful businessman would come out with a statement like that, The Ryder Cup is the pinnacle
I was a 14 handicapper about 10 years ago until I went out on my own. 4 or 5 times a year at best now strictly all business and networking.

What business would I have in Southill? You seem to know a lot about the underbelly of Limerick and have a very unhealthy fascination with it.
yeah, I have to agree with that, sure I hold the driver like a hurley, the wrong way around apparently, it doesn’t really matter, its about business and networking, they have a great bar aswell in wimbldon gc, and a snooker table, some Saturdays I go down and just have a few pints aend watch the racing, and discuss business with successful people like myself, building up contacts, I would never have done that in a small minded country like Ireland

You’re a handicapper alright, a cunt too.
My father took up a bit of golf when he retired. Even though he’s right handed, he would always hold the left hand over right when I’d have a few pucks with him when we were younger. Too cut a long story short, he was invited to Waterford castle a few years ago and had only held a golf club once or twice. Because of the way he played hurling, his grip was completely natural for him. He fucking smashed it beating lads who had been playing the game for 40 years. Came home with a trophy and all. He hasn’t picked up a golf club since.

My old lad took it up when he retired as well. Was a right hand hurler so kept the grip and switched to a left handed golfer (said he was always decent hurling off his weaker side). About two years after taking it up, he won his first prize. The fucking captain’s prize and all. He’s playing it nearly 15 years now and is obsessed with it

I haven’t played it in 5 or six years. I was always ok for three first nine holes but would then loose interest. I enjoy the odd round of par 3. Just the right amount of time to hold my concentration.
That’s pretty similar to what I would tune into golfing wise in the year.
I’m throwing in my lot with Team USA this week. I find the Team Europe captain and most of their playing personnel a dislikeable lot.

Venomous outbursts like the above are becoming par for the course with you lately. Shame on you.
He’s trigger happy these days alright - Making up for his hiatus no doubt.
Banging out the insults on the phone with his arthritic hands.
Paul O Connell is giving the motivational speech to Europe. A motivational speech for a fcuking game of golf,
Played two years ago and it was my first time out in eighteen months. Was playing regularly enough between 2010-12. Last time I went out I absolutely burnt it up in Nenagh. The old lad was shocked with how well I played.
I normally have a shoddy enough start but it’s the middle six holes where I generally make hay. I usually taper off towards the end.
The father has a voucher for Ballybunnion that has to be used before the year is out. He wants me to head out with him. I’d say I better bring the armbands
As anyone will tell you the two very basic requirements for golf are temperment and breeding. You are very poorly lacking in both.
