The 19th (21/8/07)

Written by Joe O Muircheartaigh

People in pubs, parlours and everywhere burst into spontaneous applause as Irish golf finally moved back into the Major Leagues after 60 long years of effort, disappointments and near misses.
After gnashing of teeth, prayers and much more during a rollercoaster day on the links, the old Claret Jug was coming back to Ireland for the first time since 1947.
