The Dealer had always thought golf was a grand game for anyone that didn’t have the ability to play hurling or camogie. I’ve got into it over the past few years following the exploits of Rory McIlroy and Shane Lowry.
While The Dealer salutes Rory’s outstanding golfing achievement in winning two Masters on the trot, he has to be taken to task for forgetting his own place when it came to choosing the menu for the champions dinner. He dismissed the absence of an Irish theme with a remark about “wanting to enjoy the dinner”.
The only item that could be identified with where it comes from was the inclusion of mash, very appropriate given that he comes from Co Down, also the home of Comber early potatoes which holds a PGI quality designation from the EU.

The big miss from Rory’s menu at the Masters was not having Irish beef on the table. Irish grass-fed beef secured its PGI two years ago and can be applied to beef from anywhere on the island of Ireland that meets the specification.
The good news is that with him winning the event again at the weekend, there is potential for a happy ending to this story as he gets to pick the menu again next year.
A “mulligan” is the term given to an unofficial informal rule in casual golf where a player gets a second chance to play a shot if they mess it up the first time.
For Rory, a second chance to pick the menu is likely to be the only mulligan he will ever need.
