Never accept a drink from an urologist
Youth is wasted on the young
It was Lee Trevino, inevitably, who came up with a quote that kept repeating itself in my head as I watched young Rory stroll to a stunning US Open victory. The Merry Mexican once hung on for a win in which he had led from start to finish and was congratulated on successfully implementing his strategy. He said: ‘No, my game plan was to get so far ahead that I could choke like a dog and still win.’ Rory of course, to everyone’s delight, not least my own, didn’t choke at all and in light of his experience at the Masters, that really is almost too remarkable for words. It was Ernest Hemingway who famously defined guts as being ‘grace under pressure’ and if he is to be believed then McIlroy has guts in spades.
I was reminded of another quote, which came from an American journalist in advance of the final round of the 1993 Open Championship at Royal St George’s.

Ever since winning three majors in the space of 13 months, the last of which was the 2008 US PGA Championship, the genial, articulate and very likeable Irishman has disappeared down the world rankings quicker than Rory McIlroy can miss a four-foot putt. Since then he has struggled not only to win but to even register his name on the leaderboard and when someone of his ability and experience struggles to make the top-10 in run-of-the-mill tournaments, it is clear that he has a significant problem. And that problem, of course, is that he decided to re-build his swing. (more…)
My, what a big one!
Jun 05 2011 Posted in GoKart NewsWe’ve had a busy weekend. You will have noticed if you live in the vicinity of Sandwich, the cranes and helicopters were a bit present (we’re sorry!) But, heck, it gives the players at St Georges something to line up on.
