Stupid game - but we're better than you are...

Golf. You know. Hitting a wee white ball around some sand dunes. It's a silly game really and I don't really care who wins. Why would I? I understand the idea of supporting a team, but I have never really understood supporting an individual. So, when it comes to golf, I can happily support the European team as they battle against the American team in the Ryder Cup. But as for the individuals who make up the team. Meh! Who cares how they do when they are playing for themselves.

Stupid game - stupid pants

However, a pattern has been emerging in recent years. There are four main tournaments played each year - known to golf fans as the Majors. Three are played in the States - The Masters, The US Open & The PGA - whilst the other one is The UK Open. It has been fifteen years since any English player has won any of the Majors, but the same cannot be said of the Irish. In the last few years, the Irish have won six - three by Padraig Harrington and the rest by three Northern Irish players. Last year's US Open was won by Graeme McDowell, this year's US Open by Rory McIlroy and today's UK Open was won by Darren Clarke. How about that!

Darren Clarke - another win for the Emerald Isle

So, tough luck you English failures. Your golfing successes are more a matter of history than anything else. You have to go way back into the last century to remember an English golfer winning a Major. Whereas, for us Northern Irish, we have Major winners coming out of our ears. Hah! In your face...

English golfing success - a thing of the past
