Now that Nike (and other) Equipment Manufcaturers have pulled out of making Golf Clubs, players have been free to switch to things they an hit a ball with (rather than things their ex wives hit their car with)
So Rory is using the new Epic Driver this week in the SA Opn and is AVERAGING 314 Yards and hittng 76% of the fairways.
Insane Statistics those.
Plus he now has a Putter in his hands again instead of a bent bit of old Iron Scrap so he is giving Old Stormy a real run for his money.
Great to see David Cannon’s @cannonball pics on Twitter of the Rory Effect and how many kids are attending & watching the lad this weekend.
Looking forward to giving you the full behind the scenes gossip in a couple of weeks
JP (Rory’s Caddy) now lives on the Palm over here and his local boozer is Barrel 12. He’s joined the Dxb Crew at Barasti and some of our lads were shocked to meet him and hear the Rory Photobomb story from the man himself
Damn fine bloke - invited all the regulars down there to a Corporate Box for the weekend at the DP World in November & has done the same for the upcoming Classic
Shame he supports the scousers really otherwise he’s be an all round good egg
I feel deeply humbled to receive this award. Clearly the years spent sitting in front of a lava lamp, reading Kafka whilst listening to double concept albums on headphones bigger than Dolly Parton’s bra cups were not entirely wasted.
I’d just like to say a somewhat belated thank you to all those who cast their votes for me, enabling me to achieve this magnificent unanimous vote in a poll where I was the only choice. You’d think it would be easy, but Bletch’s experience proves otherwise.
Chuffed I didn’t figure in this catagory as it would have cut across my credibity in the “Down With The Kids” musical nomination. A catagory in which I was cruelly beaten by a fuckin’ kid.
Well observed, Phil. And indicative of the institutionalised sexism of this site. Even when you think it’s physically impossible for any of the other nominees to win this award, still a man takes home the trophy.
