    The way to win golf is to play the least amount of golf possible.

    Is he any more inspirational than any other successful sportsman in all fairness.

    Really hope he wins as I'm from Offaly but I dread this completely overdoing it that occurs anytime anyone from Ireland does well in sport.
    Par for the course nowadays.

    ;)

    I never heard of him.

    How did you know he was a golfer then? Golf wasn't mentioned even once before your post.

    I saw a video which looked like Shane Lowry playing in America, hitting a ball short into the water, then someone shouting in a strong Irish accent "ya fecking idiot"

    The American commentator apologised.

    Question or questions would be:-

    Was this Shane Lowry?
    Was it at the us open currently being played?
    Was the voice that shouted Shane himself or just a fan in the crowd?

    If it was Shane himself then it was pretty funny. Being from NI we know a lot about Rory Mac, gmac and daddy mac but no so much about Shane tbh.

    This us open course is supposed to be a monster so can't see anyone shooting a ridiculously low score so as others have said possibly a level or 1 under could be enough to win it for him.

    Shane Lowry - the good Lowry.

    Until he starts living the high life and behaving badly.

    Nearly everything in After Hours could be in designated forums. You know, the way AH has been for decades now.

    He's made something like $11 million to date so if he hasn't gone off the rails by now he seems pretty unlikely to do it if he wins. I think a win could get him to realise just how good he is and to really apply himself, his talent is such that he is regarded as the best short game on the European tour and one of the best in the world.

    Dustin Johnson has a much more chequered history on the behaving badly front, though still seems to be popular.

    A lot of disappointment about things sporting this weekend.

    Good thing that sport is utterly irrelevant to real life as it is grown-ass people playing games with other grown-ass people cheering them on.

    If it has any real effect on you personally you are mentally lacking.

    He'll be alright, even if he has a bad round Johnson and Co will surely choke.

    I can only find channels that cover specific groups (like McDonnell's) rather than footage of all the players/groups.

    What an absolutely miserable, ridiculous piece of nonsense. God forbid people like to have an interest and a hobby. You're a man for the computer games? Sur they are very relevant to life. Shot a few zombies on the way to the shop this morning. Come off it man.

    I don't try to pretend my nonsense is relevant to real life at all.

    You don't see the news, weather and video-games being reported on at the top of every hour on the radio/TV.

    The stuff i'm interested in is trivial and i understand that and i don't try to pretend it matters like sports fans do. Hours upon hours of coverage a day, half the newspaper wasted on grown men/women playing games like children. Embarrassing stuff for a modern civilization.

    Man do good at play game. So-****ing-what?

    Nah, I was one of the guys who never brought his gear and asked the teachers involved why we were wasting our time playing games when it wasn't something that could get us points in the leaving cert.

    All of these teachers taught real subjects as well so it was an utter waste of their skills.

    Kids doing exercise is far more important and relevant than poetry or playing world of Warcraft
