Pic: Rory McIlroy Makes Surprise Appearance At Galway Driving Range And Attempts To Catch Balls
Punters at Galway Golf Range got the shock of a liftetime yesterday when two time Major Champion Rory McIlroy showed up unannounced on the range. Not only that, but McIlroy positioned himself 150 yards in the landing area and attempted to catch golf balls that players hit straight at him.
I am of course referring to the all new for 2014 Rory McIlroy Washing Machine target which debuted at the Salthill venue yesterday.
In a play on the lore of child Rory chipping balls into a washing machine on a TV show and his recreation versus a robot for Nike in 2013, Chris and Adrian have cleverly dressed an old washing machine up AS Rory and challenged punters to hit balls into his mouth.
“It’s just the first of many challenges were hoping to feature out there on the range for golfers,†Chris Mahony at Galway Golf Range said. “Next we are adding a gong at 300 yards, a la the European Tour’s everyshotimaginable video. If you can sound the gong, I’ll personally write you a certificate of achievement!â€
