JP McManus Pro-Am

"It just seems too good to be true that it's all out of the goodness of their hearts that all the top golfers are there."

It ain't... It's all over the news today (thanks in part to Pat Perez' plastic influencer wife) that the WAGS are given a 10,000 euro gift card to shop in the Manor or Adare Village AND she had pics of he Breitling? watch ('one hell of a welcome gift'). Plus being fed and watered at the Manor... Money follows money!

Shur, look at Bill Murray being flown to Dublin for Limerick VS Galway... and he wearing a RARE Limerick jersey WITH the Adare Manor logo on the front! These celebs and golfers just love being pampered by a billionaire! Everybody wins.

And I ain't bitter FYI - I'm a Limerick man - and I love what JP does for the county!

What happened Schauffele?

10k vouchers and Breitling watches are small change for a WAG of a top pro golfer. And in any case, these women will do what they are told - no way would any of these pros be playing in this event so the wife could go on a shopping spree and be pampered. There has to be much more to their attendance than that.

Maybe not Barbados but I'm sure he's happy enough with Switzerland!

Begrudgery probably putting it very lightly. Lies and hate a bit more apt, crazy stuff.

Has anyone bothered watching it today?

After the first couple of hours yesterday I pretty much tuned out since. Novelty worn off.

Ps I do appreciate that being there following the top pros would be a different story.

Why no Darren Clarke?

Really difficult to view anything alright unless you're right behind the barrier and in an elevated position. Is there any other major events planned for the course between now and 27?

Any idea who is caddying for Tiger?

Also, any idea where everyone is staying? Only 104 rooms in the resort by all accounts.

I was saying that myself and my wife pointed out all these people should have no problem affording a helicopter to any number of hotels within 100km of Adare. They even mentioned during the broadcast there is a constant stream of helicopters coming and going

Enjoyed today for what it was - Not a good viewing course like most have said. Greens are awful viewing as you can’t see balls land from fairways and can’t see greens putting since they’re so high up

We took a spot at 17th tee for last 90 mins and saw Tiger, DeChambeau, McIlroy, DJ, Rahm etc hitting off. That did the job

Tiger moving awfully gingerly and dare I say his swing isn’t looking great (probably because of that)

Jesus, good to see the Irish begrudgery strong and well! So what if he doesn't paid tax in this country! Most the elite don't that includes the big corporations too like amazon and google or pay very little but they bring 100's of jobs thats how it works. If I had his money I wouldn't pay tax here either! Sure are Government are worse than the mafia! Just look at the shambles of port tunnel, Children's Hospital and future maternity Hospital & metro will be know doubt..

I'd say what he does for Limerick and the economy, far exceeds any money he would pay in tax that would more than likely be wasted! I love the way us Irish see someone do good and have to whinge and bitch and find fault!

Fair play to him and this coming from a Dub.. Although I would like him to lower his Green fees 😂

The course was designed and built with the Ryder Cup in mind so there will be plenty of stands and viewing positions put in place.

Ultimately the aspect of the tournament wouldn't be the priority - getting the course to Augusta levels for perfection will be the main goal. A successful Ryder Cup just opens the door to future tour events down the line. Win win for JP.

Also the begrudges on here need to cop on and enjoy something positive that just happened - there is little of it going around at the moment so enjoy it when it does swing by.

Great event , but giving 10000 euro to wifes and girlfriends of multi millionaires to spend,(I know its towards local community),for some reason just dosnt sit right with me.
