Paddy, I was watching you hit range balls after your round during a PGA tourney. I was with two of my kids and we were just there to watch you. We were not expecting autographs but you came over to us and offered to sign our flags. The official nearby told us it was not the time or place to obtain autographs. You told him to go away and you signed our flags. We have never forgotten your kindness and you have remained at the top of our list of favorite golfers. We also really love all your instruction videos! Thanks again!
Paddy, your honesty tells a lot about the professional golfer that you are, you’re a gentleman who follows the history of the game and holds the high standards that the the game of golf deserves. Thank you
We used to live at a TPC course. One year, Sergio and his family rented the house next to ours. We had a soccer game, Sergio’s dad gave me chipping lessons. Sergio’s GF took our golden retriever out in the course to follow Sergio. It was awesome! Great family!!
Wasn't expecting this video Pádraig but it's a good way of promoting the game and yourself 👍
I've been a big fan of yours for years, at first it was because you were Irish and my Grandfather was from Belfast, but now, it's because of how good a person you are. Thanks for providing this channel to us your fans and wanna be good golfers.
This is the number 1 golf tip instructional video in TH-cam history thanks!
Remember watching you on the practice range in carton House at the irish open as a child in the early 00s. Bob torrance was there with you, I was in awe, two legends of the game. Would have loved a souvenir
Great tips Paddy. I love seeing the pros giving the kids a second of your time on the course. The kids look up to you guys soo much. It goes a long way just to say hi or even a high five. They love it. I’ll never forget shaking the hand of the gold medal winner at the 76 Olympics in Montreal. That’ll stay with me forever. Cheers !
Another masterpiece
When I was a kid, if you were with an adult who didn't want to walk around all that much and just wanted to sit at a hole, I found hole 9 to have much better odds than hole 18. I got 2-3 golf balls, as did my brother and he even got a golf glove when the pro switched to a new one for the back 9.
Paddy practices what he preaches. Also, the best time to be gifted balls or autographs are at the driving range. Top players usually are at the practice area after their rounds - Back in the early-mid 2000’s, I’d often see Paddy, Tiger and Vijay at the range after their rounds at the Target World Challenge tournament in LA area. At this tournament in 2004, I watched Tiger and Paddy hit range balls for hours after their round and there were about 10 spectators until Tiger left. My GF and I remained and were the only ones watching Paddy while he continued on the range for another hour.
As he was about to leave, he was about to carry his golf bag back to the clubhouse. I chimed in, “Padraig, I’ll be your caddy and carry your bag.” Surprisingly he said ok lol I carried it about 300 yards to the clubhouse and he hooked me up with signed balls and also signed the Wilson Staff golf glove he was using during practice…and he came off as just a regular good dude.
I wasn’t a kid, I was about 28 at the time but this experience turned Paddy into my favorite golfer ever since. Then soon after, he won PGA events in 2005 and went on an incredible Major run. Now, here I am today at 45 living in LA watching Paddy on TH-cam as he’s still my favorite golfer. Lol
I still have everything he autographed and I also have video footage of him and Tiger on the range and during their practice round from 2004. I snuck in a small camcorder and I was the only one filming since it was before iPhones. I will post it on TH-cam one day! Cheers!
**cool story bro**
I would never bug anyone for a souvenir golf ball, but these tips are right on point. Be respectful and polite and be a fan.
Great video topic. An older machinist I worked with attended a tournament when he was a kid here in Pennsylvania. He acquired the autographs of Nicklaus, Palmer, Nelson, along with most of the other big names. He tried to get Ben Hogan. Asked politely, calling him Mr. Hogan. Ben turned him down because he was in the middle of an intense range session and told him to come back later. He never made it back to get Hogan's autograph, but from what I've read before this was fairly common for Mr. Hogan. The tournament program he had with all the autographs was fantastic to see in person.
Brilliant absolutely brilliant. Well done Pardraig.
Thanks Paddy kids will love this
Wonderful video, hope lots of kids become a direct fan.
amazing tips!
What a Class Act this man is! How many Pro Golfers would take the time to film a You Tube video for the best way for youngster to get a souvenir golf ball from a Pro in competition? Not many, if any. What a gentleman! And talk about a Love for the game!
Good luck at the Masters -2 through hole 4 way to go keep it up.
Great tip for youngsters! And the kids at heart! Great Job Paddy! Go Wilson Staff!
Padraig, THANK YOU for taking the time to share your knowledge and creating this easily understood video. Excited to take this to the range and resume my quest with this new information. I will be searching for more of your videos to follow.
What other pro athlete makes a video like this? Giving back to the game sets some apart. Thank you Paddy! Hello from Dallas
Fair play to you Padraig, you never stop giving and we’ll never watching.
Padraig...can your next Video help a 65 year old get a golf ball? I have been a fan for years. Keep up the great work.
Paddy you are pleasure to watch and to listen to , a gentleman for sure 👍
C'mon paddy win the masters!
Best of luck from England mate 👍🏻
You would follow paddy if he played dobbers, true gentlemen of the game
Hey Paddy, if I see you at a tourney, I’m going to tell you I think your videos are terrific and thanks for making them.
Great video Padraig!
I would love to know if you throwing the ball away really has everything to do with the bogey or the fact that these companies sometimes don't produce a consistent product? You're the man!!!!
I'm a bit older than you Padraig , but if you come to Baltimore , I'm askin' for 1 🙃 KOOL video , hope some kids R watchin"
I am way too old to get a golf ball, but I just became a fan.
Great vlog as always!! On a different note, did you play the Fybrid woods back in the day or were they more for handicappers? Only Reason I ask is I just bought the Fybrid 5 wood for a tenner and absolutely love it!
Great tips I'll get my boys to try those at the open we will be there on the Friday following you, one of my sons is also a big Ricky fan so be great if your paired together
As always Padraig, a great video, promoting the game as a gentleman. Here’s a question…
How many sleeves of balls does Ronan put in the bag before the round, and on average how many do you through on a competition round? As a Wilson ambassador (freebie balls) could Ronan carry a few extra balls to hand out.
This is some tip😊
Do these tips work for a kid of say... 36 years old?
Surly with covid, being 43 and trapped in Australias WA and not being able to get to watch you win live this July at St. Andrews paddy you can save one for me else please let me know some cool places to play in Scotland or Ireland that have a good bar :) good luck win it 2022 :)
Hi Mr Harrington, I’m your biggest fan, you’ve hit so many amazing shots, I’ve seen you hit a 3 wood out of a bunker in competition to the green. A souvenir golf ball from a 3 times major champ would take pride of place on my mantle piece in my house ! Regard Stephen age 51 and a half . You’d have to post it, can DM my eircode
How does swing tempo and putting stroke tempo (bpm) correlate? Should they match?
There's just not a better guy out there!
I know how to get you to buy drinks. Stand still in the grandstand and don't move your shadow😂 (2022 Charles Schwab championship)
So this was the kid tutorial, now where is the one for adults? :)

I just break into to their car in the parking lot.
My God, these pros don't even pay for golf ball or any other part of their equipment, for God sake just give them a golf ball.
