    The strike on the iron shot into the green was so pure!

    More chance of Ronan Rafferty coming back and winning a major.

    He will be running a pro shop in 5 years.

    maybe a bet to say he will win the open before he is 25 is in order :)

    I'd nearly contact paddy power to get a price and stick a fiver or a tenner on it. Would be some story to have if the bet came off :)

    more chance of Ronan Rafferty coming back and winning a major imo,i said it at the time here that he was too hasty to turn pro and i beleive this has been proved.It took him 3 or 4 months before he started to do any proper physical training and it was stated in the media(could well be bs)that he was doing very little practice compared to the other pro's.
    He'll be running a pro shop in 5 years imo

    I know what it was in reference to but it's got nothing to do with this thread.

    Feel free get back on topic :)

    I'd say him running a pro shop in 5 years (aged 10) would be bigger odds with the bookies than him winning the open before the age of 25 :)

    I did laugh and if it was standalone post fine but it's lead to other OT posts, posts about betting etc

    It's a slippery slope...

    I dunno, hope he gets as much help with his childhood as his golf. Lovely swing, just part of me feels sad for the little fella.

    Unreal swing, hope it enjoys it all and does it because he loves the game and not due to parents desire

    +1.......his own agent, website, twitter handle and Life size cardboard cutouts already dedicated to his promotion....wow, just wow. It's actually scary.

    Hope the kid gets to enjoy golf for what it is at his age..a game
