 Preach Legends presented by the McGinley Foundation and well Ireland was named Europe's best golf destination a couple of years ago at the World Golf Awards and of course it's easy to see why you often are referred to as the Lynx Capital of Ireland and this is a great Lynx course here, the old Tom Morris Lynx at Rossapenna and it's the celebrity pro-am today and I'm delighted that we're joined by a professional sugar player and commentator and radio presenter. Maybe it's after my job, Ken Doherty, Ken, welcome to the show. It's my first time here and I'm off at 20 to 2 looking forward to it and it's a nice crowd, it's a great place. So who are you at with? I'm out with Gary Evans and I played with him in New Yorkshire Open a long, long time ago. A great character. He had some great stories about being on the tour and we got on really really well so it's great to see him. I haven't seen him for about, well it must be nearly 20 years you know, so yeah but he's back living in England now. He was moving out to Dubai last time I spoke to him and he spent a little bit of time out there so yeah, he's a good company and that also helps around so I said we'll have a few laughs and anyway I don't know how good the golf is going to be but we'll have a few laughs. Isn't that important? Playing 18 rounds of golf with somebody regardless of who they are, you know you have to get on with them. Absolutely. And I know these guys, they're playing in their own individual and we have a little individual sort of tournament as well but yeah, I mean if you can get on with them and I played with Colin Montgomery in the Irish Open. I was playing with the DJ Carey, Rowan and Keaton and Colin Montgomery, it was 1997, Mount Julian and of course, Montgomery was called Mrs. Delford back in the day. He looked the right miserable son and I was sort of like a little bit intrepid like to meet him and see how he was going to get on. I thought it was going to be a really quiet day but didn't know what to expect. Yeah, exactly. I tell you what, he was one of the nicest fellas I've ever played with on the golf course and he was European number one. He had been for like eight years in a row and all he wanted to know was about Alex Higgins and Jimmy White and Steve Davis and Stephen Hendry and just Snooker stories and we got on famously well. He was a lovely, lovely fella and Carey is as well. Brilliant. So you're a season pro with these pro-hams, so to speak. I tell you what, if you saw me swing you wouldn't say that. What did I say about a swing like an octopus falling out of a tree or something like that? Everybody's saying that, which I had to today, but I'm beginning to think that it's not the case. I do love it though, I must say. It's a very technical game. It's a bit like Snooker but there's a lot more moving parts in golf and it can be the greatest game in the world and it can be the somewhat so frustrating game in the world as well. I do love it. So can Snooker. Yeah. It is. It's great therapy as well to get out in the fresh air and when you come to a place like this on a pet day, which is probably a pet day today in Donegal, it's going to be really nice. Well, it's a wee bit breezy out there but I think that should breeze the set a little bit so hopefully it won't be too bad. Is it your first time to play Rossipena? First time to play. I mean I've come up to Donegal playing in exhibitions and stuff like that. Never played Rossipena or any of the course so I just had to walk around and was out in the range earlier and the view down the 18th is just magnificent. You know, I know you've got lovely courses around the links here and it was just saying to my friend Pa, who drove up with me, it's great to come up here for a weekend and play the tree. You know, we're a bunch of lads and stay in the hotel and enjoy the festivities and the harbour houses at the pub in the town. Harbour bar, yeah. Harbour bar, yeah. Yeah. I heard this great crack in there. Make a point of it. Yeah. Well, you know, as I was saying to you all very early, you were here last week. Yeah, yeah. Oh, wow. The sun was shining. Yeah. But it's beautiful the whole year round and I hope you enjoy your round of golf today. Yeah, yeah. And the funniest thing is, like, you know, Daherty, you know, it's a big clan up in Donegal, isn't it? Absolutely. You know, Daherty as well. Yeah. Well, I don't have any relations up here at all. I have to go, I have to do that family tree, I think, and try and dig up some relations that I must have up here. I played an exhibition up here in Bunkrana many, many millions ago and the four six names on the list. I was playing 10 guys. The four six names, they were all Daherty's. If you're in Bunkrana, then, you know, there's a lot of Daherty's in the show. Yeah, yeah. I think particularly maybe around Bunkrana, but a lot of Daherty's in the show. Yeah, in the show as well. You're bound to have relatives. Oh, yeah. It's a matter of finding them. Absolutely, yeah. What about that snooker and commentating? I mean, you know, you're kept busy. So what is it at the moment? Well, it's the first one coming on as the British Open. There's the mixed doubles. It's a new event on ITV. That's at the end of September. And then the British Open followers that in Milton Keynes. Yeah, so yeah, I enjoy doing the commentary. I mean, you know, when you sort of, you get to a stage in your life that you've been playing for so long, you know, the commentary is great. It's like you're talking about something that you love that you may know a little bit about it. There's no pressure. There's no pressure now. But and I love it. I just love being involved. I love the game. The game has been very good to me. I love being involved and I love, you know, if I wasn't commentating, I'd be sitting at home watching it. And anyway, so I might as well do it. I'd probably do it for nothing, but I'm not going to tell BBC or ITV. But you know what I love most is probably the crack with the lads, you know, the likes of Dennis and John Virgo and John Perth, Steve Davis, Stephen Hendry and just to sort of the social side of going out for dinner and listening to their old stories of recanting times with drunken nights with Alex Seagans, I suppose, a lot of time. All right. Well, you can share some of those stories as you're going around there, the 18 holes here today at Rossopenna. And the best look, you know, I hope you hope you enjoy it. It's, you know, it's a celebrity program. So I'm sure it's competitive, but it's not all about winning for sure. And I hope you have a great day and a great time here in Donegal. I'm sure I will. I'm sure I will. It's great to be here.
