Royal Portrush (22 June 2011) is now at the top of my favorites list- friendly staff, beautiful challenging course, great members - a total golf experience - I look forward to the next round
Darren, congratulations on your Open Championship, the best man won that day. Met you last June on the 1st tee. Hope to see you again at The Players (4th hole) May 2012. Guinness is on me.

Our hearts were with you all the way during The Open Championship. You and your sons deserve all the best--in golf and in life. Congratulations!

Great job--we watched you win while in Edinburgh.

Absolutely wonderful win Darren. Delighted it was you and it is richly deserved. Inspirational golf and the best example of gentlemanly conduct I have seen from a professional for a long time. A true role model.

Enjoy your success and best wishes to you for the future.

Congrats to Darren Clarke on winning the Open. I followed him around in Malaysia in 2004 with Charl Schwartzel and Raphael Jacquelin, it was hot, and the sun was beating, but he was still making jokes and chatting away. Loved his demeanour in the course. Was an inspiration, along with Miguel Angel Jimenez, to say that enjoying the game while being competitive is the most important of all....

Am so happy for Mr. Darren Clarke. Good things happen to good people. Celebrate, celebrate, celebrate. A wonderful victory for a very deserving man.

Darren,
I have watched many Open's and just wanted to say how much I enjoyed watching you manage the course and the elements, it was superb! One of the finest exhibitions of ball striking and gentlemanly conduct I have ever witnessed. I'd buy you a Guinness if I could! Best of Life my friend.

Congratulations to portrush's very own "Darren Clarke" on his great win in the 2011 Open Golf Championship. Well done Darren.

Congratulations to Graeme McDowell on winning the Chevron Golf Challenge. I hope James, Muskie, Bo and Chris stayed up to see it on TV. We enjoyed our round and their hospitality in July. Getting pictures with the US Open trophy at Rathmore was one of the special highlights of our trip. Cheers

i met graeme at the down town attraction at the Ryder cup 2008, and have followed your career ever since. you were very polite and curteous. it gave me immense pleasure to watch you win on sunday night and and also to have ten pounds each way at 80-1!! a thousand pounds better off, so if im lucky enough to meet you again, the first pint of guinness is on me!

best wishes

I am playing Royal Portrush in September and am even more pumped to play it after Graeme's fantastic win at Pebble Beach. The guy kept his cool and gutted it out against a heck of a field. Playing one of Graeme's home courses will be an honor.

Graem,
Congratulations on your US Open win! How wonderful that you were so gracious to the gallery, even smiling and kidding with everyone on your walk to the 18th green. I would like to visit your town and club in Northern Ireland someday with my husband (he is an avid golfer here in Illinois)! It looks like such a beautiful place. Enjoy your victory!

A BIG CONGRATS TO GMAC -
What a great performance to win the US Open it was awesome and well deserved. And further more he didnt't forget to acknowledge his family and to have his Dad with him most of been SWEET. Its refreshing to see how proud he is to hail from NIR . He is a very bright, smart, and a CLASS ACT.
I am schedule to play golf at Rotal Portrush this coming july, I am looking forward to it , should be a thrill.

Congratulations to Graeme!
He is not only a terrific golfer, but he is a fine gentleman and a very good looking personable and charming young man.

Looking at pictures of his home course, I can see why he said playing at Pebble Beach was like playing at home surrounded by ocean.

You in Northern Ireland can all be proud of him. He has a wonderful future ahead of him and it is a pleasure to have had him here in the states.

My dad, who grew up in Newtonstewart before coming to Canada, first took me to play the Dunluce links in 1970 with the lofty green fee of one pound. It was one of the most grand games in all my (now 47) years of golf. Last time we played here was 1985, so I hope to make it back some time soon just to try and hit the green on Calamity Corner one more time. Congratulations to Graeme!

My brother Leslie has worked there for maybe 20 years. Please relay this message to Graeme Mc Dowell ... first thing they need to do over here is learn how to pronounce McDowell and second thing is well done ... i watched very hole and if you never win another tourament in your career, this one will make up for all the practice. It was always on the cards that someone from NI would win one day but it looked more likely it would be young McIlroy or Clarkey, but Mr McDowell you surprised everyone. Well done and take some time now to enjoy the win.

A superb links with which I had no problem recalling any of the holes such was quality of the course.

The Irish stew was fabulous and set us up for the round.
