    Could be the best Golf Video I have seen.
    He was a good lad and still is. So real and authentic - I just realised what gave him that tough edge you need to succeed, he played Hurling! Those guys are absolutely crazy!
    Jokes aside he is one of my favourite players, he is very humble.
    Please youngsters of today look at people like this, what a great role model, care for family, well mannered, believes in where came from his home town - this exceptional. We can learn so much from the likes of Mr Lowery.

      OMG, what does that turd McIlroy have to do with this decent, humble, awesome guy like Shane Lowry. Why do you have to even bring him up in the same breath. Lowry is a class act. McIlroy is an overgrown child who throws his toys out of the cot all the time. Nothing but a baby with millions in the bank. Leave McIlroy out of it.

    Offaly and Kerry in THAT All Ireland is perhaps, along with some Dublin and Kerry games in the 70s, are the most iconic games of football in the history of the GAA. Think Kerry as Barcelona going for their 5th champions league in a row and someone like Aston Villa beating them in the final with a goal 5 minutes into injury time..

    My claim to fame when it comes to Shane. The year after he won the Irish Open as an amateur. I was shopping in Athlone with my wife. We had parked the car in an underground car park and as we walked along i heard the rumble of a V8 engine. I looked around to see a silver Range Rover being driven by a woman and thinking to myself "I'd love one of those". She was having trouble parking it and asked me if id park it for her. I said i would and being a smart ass i asked why was she driving it if she couldn't park it. She informed me "it belongs to my son". I asked her if her son was famous or was he a drug dealer... "Id rather not say" was her answer. So i said "Ok, so he's a drug dealer"... She laughed and said "no, he's a golfer, he's Shane Lowry"... With that i very nearly crashed his car. Being an Offaly man myself, the sense of pride in the man and what he had achieved even in these, his fledgling years as a golfer, representing Ireland and more importantly Offaly was immense.
    We got into the lift together and spoke of Shane and his career. The Dubai desert classic was coming up and i asked her how she thought he might do in it and she said "Well i might have a tenner on him myself"... He didn't win it... But it didn't matter.
    What a man that faith has chosen to represent this Country, this County. What a man...
    The very best of luck to Shane and his family in the future. Hon Offaly.
