Great memories on Facebook this morning of playing golf with Paul Mcgrath in Arklow. I Ihadn't played in Arklow for years.

When I walked into the clubhouse lo and behold he was sitting there waiting to pllay.
My opening words were Inormally I charge appearance money but today i'll write if off he broke his heart laughing really broke the ice.
We shared a buggy he loves the game played 18 holes had photograph taken with a prized possesion.
I am going back to play in Arklow 'next week after a long break.
