I came across the following story about one of Europe’s leading players earlier today. Nowadays it is rare for players to pick up their clubs without being paid a large fee or playing for a large purse, but this is a refreshing example of a top player giving back to an organization who helped him during his career. Padraig Harringon comes across as a genuine, down to earth guy and it comes as no surprise that he is the player involved in this article.
Unfortunately he didn’t win the event held over the Links at Portmarnock, but a solid round of 70 left him only 1 shot behind the winner. Hopefully Padraig’s intense winter training program pays off and he goes on to have a successful season in 2011.
