• McIlroy: I’ve never worked a day in my life, this isn’t work’
It would be wrong to assume there is only one McIlroy with an association to Holywood Golf Club. Rory, world No1, man of the moment, who will stand on the verge of golfing history when taking to the 1st tee at Augusta National on Thursday, is of course the most high-profile export and may long remain so. But take a wander round the clubhouse at this serene hilltop, parkland venue on the outskirts of Belfast and the detail reveals more – not least why McIlroy’s background is significant and he retains such a close affiliation to his roots.
Next to a team photograph featuring a grinning, visor-wearing 16-year-old McIlroy as part of a successful junior team is that of a winning adult group from 1998. Gerry McIlroy, Rory’s father, is front left. Ten yards down the corridor, the scorecard from a course record round of 63 is mounted. The player? Colm McIlroy, uncle of Rory, brother of Gerry.
