McIlroy Return Home

Any ideas as to when McIlroy will be returning? And will he be flying to Belfast or Dublin Airport?

Presume it will be a private jet to Belfast like McDowell had last year

Clarke has pulled out of the German Open to go back and celebrate with him...

Why would he come to Dublin, he is British !!

It's a transatlantic flight,maybe the OP figures George Best airport is too small to receive a plane big enough to that trip.

Dunno if you're trollin,but it's getting a bit tedious at this stage

He'll be landing in Sligo with Ryanair and getting a shuttlebus to Belfast

prospect

I don't think he will be returning until at least Wednesday as he has some contractual obligations to his sponsors.

Does everything McIlroy related in the golf forum be it an individual thread or general discussion during an event have to be turned into some tiresome, repetitive political one pretty much? Tedious? Damn straight. Funnily enough it's usually the same people who start this as well as the same people who reply... only really happens around the time of the Majors too!

We've seen history be created and a lot of people still can't help themselves.

Back on topic. He'll be sorted with a private jet more than likely by his management company straight to Belfast.

Some posts deleted for clean-up. The OP started the thread in good faith.
If you want to discuss nationality issues, take it elsewhere, like the Politics forum for example.
Around here, we like our golf and we're tired of trolls.

Haha I'd say Clarke is some man for drinking porter. He'd drink the stuff all day and all night.

I just had a crazy notion. Clarke for The Open Imagine ...

Also Lough Erne not doing so good. Just call it the McIlroy course and their won't be a tee time their until 2015.

yeah wednesday ive heard too,..

Does anyone know whether he has pulled out of the French Open? He said after he won that he might take 3 weeks off to recharge the batteries before the Open Championship. I would be disappointed to see him miss out on a great event like the French

Apparently so, corporate and sponsor obligations. I hope he keeps his head together, the next few months will be mental.

He has withdrawn from the French Open, next start is the Open not playing Scotland the week before apparently

I don't think he is flying actually.
He's waiting for the wind to pick up so that he can sail home. He'll be easily home before the open.

I don't know about everyone else, but seeing him win has given me a big lift, fair play to the young man.
He deserves to be paraded through Belfast as a hero.

Agreed!
This is the start of something very special and it'll make for some spectacular viewing over the next few years.
All we need now is Ishikawa to come of age and Tiger to come back with a bang and it's popcorn time!

His game is like the exact opposite of Seve's and he is also from a completely different country?

He seems like a better version of Luke Donald to me (A much better version). Should be winning all around him for the next 25 years (which scares me a little) :pac:

Try a little punctuation to your sentences but overall it's probably better to have an overall point to what you're saying!
