Great stuff Dermot. I once watched both Peter Allis and Christy O'Connor senior take on the Yanks in the Ryder Cup at Royal Birkdale. Allis beat Arnold Palmer in the singles in the afternoon and Christy could inevitably be seen smoking whilst playing shots. Legends indeed.

Thanks a lot Jim , sport had some truly great characters back in the days , my dad and i used to smack balls along the beach and we would often see Christy with a pitching wedge doing his magic ... Dad asked him once ' Hey Christy I'm in competition on Wednesday any advice ' Christy said ' Mick just get up and hit the f ..King ball '

Lovely painting, well done as always, and a nice story for the backdrop. So many stories of o'connor senior, all worth telling.
