    I saw this video after the Ireland win against England... Is it a setup or could he get close to doing it?

    Has anyone on here played Woodbrook Golf Club?

    I knew he was good but i never though he was that good.
    At least he has golf to fall back on if the cricket doesnt work out for him. :rolleyes:

    There is no way that the drives of those two lads would land with such a shallow trajectory and so softly. I mean come on!

    2 mins drive away from my house and have only played it once, about 17 years ago!

    My da was in the artisans there many moons ago, done stewarding for the Irish open when it was held there.
    Think he mentioned before a young Tom Watson may have missed the cut, stand to be corrected on that.

    It's obviously just a bit of fun and a promotional video, but one of his sixes against England on Wednesday did fly 102m, so a decent sand wedge for most people... Tune in tomorrow to Ireland v India @9am on sky sports to see if he can go a little further...

    Not from a stationary ball two inches above the ground.

    True but the green is the 4th which is a dogleg to the left, he must have a nice draw with that bat ;)
