Eamonn Darcy PGA

Eamonn was born in Delgany, County Wicklow. He turned professional in 1968 and played on the European Tour from 1972, winning four European Tour tournaments. His best years were 1975, when he came third on the Order of Merit, and 1976, when he improved to second. While he did not fully live up to this early promise, and did not compete on a level with the "Big 5" of European golf who emerged around this time (Seve Ballesteros, Nick Faldo, Bernhard Langer, Sandy Lyle and Ian Woosnam) he went on to enjoy a long career. He finished in the top 20 on the Order of Merit nine times in total and made the top 100 as late as 1999, when he was 47. In 2002 he joined the European Seniors Tour. He was a member of the GB & Ireland/European Ryder Cup team on four occasions, including the victorious team of 1987.

Love darcys swing fascination

Saw him playing with his friends in Powerscourt late 80's as we walked in on the road alongside the course.
My friend Mary was blind as a bat, but when she heard me say "there's Eamonn D'arcy" she shouted "Howya Eamonn" in her best Cabra accent. Eamonn was chuffed and gave us a big wave. So funny and such a lovely bloke.

He was great to follow in the 70's and 80's.

A swing like an Octopus falling out of a tree helps win the Ryder Cup. Absolutely fantastic 😁😁
