Thread: Respectable professional debut for Rory McIlroy

  1. Respectable professional debut for Rory McIlroy

    Shot a -3 on his debut, no dropped shots, not bad at all. Turned pro. off a +6 h/c at only 18 years of age. Who was the last to make it through this route? Garcia?

    Only time will tell with this guy, but obviously I would like to see him do well.

    Doctors say that you should eat 5 pieces of fruit or veg a day to remain healthy. Last week I ate 5 mouldy plums and that night I shat the bed. What's healthy about that? :shocked::shocked::shocked:

    Yep nice opener alright IG, I believe the only aspect of his game holding back him from going stellar is the red mist ... by all accounts he's been speaking with Podger about maintaining an inner calm ..

    Aye, I remember a few Crimson Dawns alright when I was 18 (a bloody long time ago!!). Only the lack of advice stopped me going stellar too!

    As with many of our swear words Sandpiper, it's not limited to 1 meaning

    Bollocks - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ... just about covers it in my book

    Cheers

    Lol @ "what does 'bollox' mean." I almost spat out a mouthful of milk there. Quality :laugh:

    I was intending to post the exact same thread. Yep, got to +6 a short time ago. Right enough, he plays at a driver/wedge course - one of the easiest in NI, but his handicap also is accounted and determined by what he does away from home - where he has mostly played, so that obviously means a lot.

    Playing off Scratch at 13, winning 12 consecutive West of Ireland matches since the age of 14 & shooting 61 at Royal Portrush (a feat that when Graeme McDowell and Darren Clarke heard they didn't believe it could be true) have to rank his most impressive feats for me, personally.

    Hope the lad does well has he has everything to take him to the very top, he really does. I have watched him a couple of times and he is sensational. His father and uncle have reportedly got a six-figure sum on him to win the British Open in the next ten years. No pressure now, Rory.... :rolleyes:hunter:
    "Golf takes us away from our everyday worries. It allows us to lose ourselves in the beauty of our natural surroundings. And it provides a serene setting for enjoying the camaraderie of our fellow players.
    No matter how good we get at it, golf always makes us strive to do better. In golf, as in life, there is no perfection, but we can always seek it. Golf constantly challenges us to aim farther, try harder, and be more than we are today. And really, what game could be better than that...?"

    Thanks for the post Irishmen.....I am going to watch Rory's career with great interest.

    He may become a Tommy Bolt! Winning tourneys while helocoperting wedges all across the course.

    If it weren't for he board, I'd have no clue about up and comer's like him...

    So bollox as an adjective is useless, low quality; but as a noun it means perfection/ top quality?

    Here are some rough translations...

    I got a boot in the bollox - Somebody kicked me in my testicles
    He was a wee bollox - He was a little shit
    I was bollox'ed last night - I consumed too much alcohol
    That's a load of bollox - I don't agree with you
    I was upto me bollox in it - I was in a lot of trouble
    Ah bollox - Oh no!
    It was a bollox night - I failed to meet any young ladies on my evening out

    Hope that helps...

  13. i may also add...

    got a new putter - its the dog's bollox - this would mean 'I have just received shipment of a new putting device, it really is of exceptional quality and has improvement my game greatly'

    I have a pain in me bollox - this does not refer to a physical ailment in ones testes, more to a sense of general annoyment and bad humour and disatisfaction with everything in the world at any given point in time
