A YOUNG Limerick boy had the time of his life at the JP McManus Pro-Am
last week as he got to meet stars of the golfing world.
Paddy O'Sullivan was in Adare with his family for the charity event
with his mother Donna saying he had a “super” time.
Sports-mad Paddy got to spend time at the first and tenth tee on the
Tuesday of the competition and was well looked after.
Donna said the stewards and marshals pulled out all the stops for the
six year-old.

'The one-liners rolled faster than the golf balls' at JP McManus Pro-Am
in Limerick
“Everyone was so good to him. He was behind the railings for safety but
all the golfers were stopping for him for photos and to sign his cap.
“The crowd got behind him as well. Every time they slowed down for
Paddy they would sign autographs and take photos with others so
everyone was getting their chance.
“They were all great with him and gave him their time. He had a really
lovely experience, it was magical”.
The Athea boy is big into sport and he is looking forward to travelling
to Croke Park to cheer on the hurlers this weekend.
Donna said Paddy was star struck by everyone he met and the photos she
took show how much the interactions meant to him.
“I have loads of lovely photos. He met everyone, Shane Lowry was great
with him and he loves Rory Mcllroy as well who stopped for him. It was
just fab”.
Paddy's twin sisters, Millie and Alice, also went along and they were
very lucky to be given one of Tiger Woods' golf balls on his final tee.
Over 80,000 spectators made their way to Adare Manor for the two-day
event as ten of the top 11 golfers in the world took to the fairways at
the five-star resort.
