Support Cian Curley Through Pledge Sports Novel New Funding Platform

cian videoIrish Europro Tour golfer Cian Curley is part of a new online funding platform launched today by Pledge Sports.  Cian is one of six of Ireland’s most promising sports stars seeking funding from the public through the revolutionary new platform which offers donors various rewards packages based on amounts pledged.

Since turning pro in 2011, Curley has played on the Europro Tour and gone to Q School twice.  Now working with new coach Noel Fox, Cian has been putting in long hours of practice at Carton House ahead of the 2014 Europro season. He’s hoping good form there will result in a step up to the Challenge Tour.

“I think it's essential for Irish guys who turn pro to get opportunities to play in Challenge Tour events,” Cian said at today’s launch. “This not only provides good experience but also provides an opportunity to gain some playing rights and not have to solely rely on the Q school.”

“I really believe I have learned so much over my years as a pro and I now have what I need in place to help me get to where I want to be. My ambition is to make a career out of this game and this year is where I can really start making some big strides.”

sport.golfThe Pledge Sports concept is based on “crowdfunding”, defined as  the collective effort of  people who pool money and network to support  other  people  or  businesses..  $5.1bn  was  raised  globally  through  crowdfunding  last  year  and  is expected to double in 2014 to over $10bn.

All donations to Cian will go to allay the costs associated with gaining a foothold as a Touring Pro such as travel, tournament entry costs etc.

Two Naked Pics Of Holly Sonders. The Big News To Emerge From The 2013 PGA Show

Image
The media centre at the 2013 PGA Show was buzzing yesterday.  Not because of anything that happened at the show.  God forbid! When I rocked in, several men (and one woman) were gathered around an iphone ogling and sharing  two pics of who they claimed were Holly Sonders naked. Now I have to hold my hands up and say, I had to google her to find out she’s from The Golf Channel. I don’t watch the Golf Channel because I don’t have an erectile dysfunction problem or need to rent a car from National.  I’m told adverts for both are all that’s on that channel. How they knew for certain it was her, I dont know.  Unless the cheeks of her ass were on her passport photo and they recognized them from there, but I doubt it. The First Pic The first pic is taken from behind. No pun intended.  The media guys say it was taken by her fiancee (?) and shows Holly in a white thong which has disappeared a dangerously long ways into the bummage.  I’m talking t...

Sarah Stirk Nipple Gate: Navy Top Leaves Viewers Disappointed

London: Sky Sports management this morning issued a statement  apologizing to subscribers after Sarah Stirk wore a navy dress live on air.  It is believed up to 60,000 horny golfers were left limp after they tuned in to final round coverage of the Valero Texas Open in the hope of getting a glimpse of the legendary Stirk starter buttons. “I pay my subscription, I’m bloody well entitled to see Sarah’s Wimbledon strawberries” said factory worker Paul Manning 52 from Hereford. “I even missed the ten minute freeview, coz my mate Derek tweeted that Stirk was going into the shot centre for ten minutes at 11pm”. The Sky statement read: We apologize unreservedly for the navy dress Sarah wore during last nights broadcast, through which no nipples were visible. This was due to a wardrobe malfunction. However we do intend to rectify this during our US Masters coverage and assure viewers that plenty of bridge rivets will be on show, both from Sarah and special guest Colin M...
