I had the VHS vid as a kid, loved it. Over 2 hours of brilliant BBC golf from when TV golf started. Thanks for the upload thought I'd never see these shots again
I meet this gentleman at the Irish Open many year's ago ..!!!!My friend asked me was that Christy Junior at the bar and I asked him over to join our company which he did.!!!!After many pints of Guinness and a few good stories about golf he left an hour or two later !!!An absolute Gentleman he left us all with great memories a delightful man ..!!!A few years later he won the British Seniors at Royal County Down my home course he got a special cheer from me and my friends who meet him at Portmarnick.!!!!
I worked with a guy who loved golf and was watching Christy play in the Irish open. He followed him on every hole. After Christy finished his round my colleague made his way over to the hotel bar at a leisurely pace. When he arrived there he said Christy was already at the bar and half way through his first pint !!
I suppose it’s a little Ironic that as an English man that one of my all time favourite Sports moments was produced by an Irish Man.. to steal a bit of credit my Great Great Grandmother was from Munster.. am I allowed that?
Christy was my relative and only met him one year before passing he really was nice chap in the flesh to bless him
so great that Christy got to have this moment of fame.. greatly loved in Galway and the West.

Christys 2 iron from heaven & he's up there with it now. Sleep easy.
A great guy this player. Very sad news today for his family. Great skill he had.
great video,
I was on the 18th green scoreboard in 1992 when O'Connor won the Masters at Woburn.
Thanks for the memories. 🇮🇪☘
That 2 iron shot was just an awesome strike, Fred Couples visibly wilted under the pressure after that
