Shane has Offaly good prospects

S
HANE LOWRY had to pass up the chance to play
the wonderful links that is Rosapenna recently –
that’s what happens when you go and win the 3
Irish Open against all the odds.
The most popular Offaly man
in the country, not hard in current
circumstances, was due to spend
the week after his 3 Irish Open
debut hanging out with some
friends in Donegal.
Instead, he found himself in
the eye of a media storm, the
centre of attention after becom-
ing the first amateur to win his
national Open.
Just a week after he cancelled
his trip to the Sandy Hills links,
Lowry was teeing it up with the
big boys at the European Open –
as a fully paid up member of
golf’s professional ranks.
Admittedly, he struggled a bit,
but that was probaly to be
expected given the highs of the
heroics of Baltray.
“What I have achieved is
only sinking in now that I
have taken the first shots
in what I hope will be a
long career in professional
golf,” reflects Lowry.
“The week after Baltray I was
due to go to Rosapenna and play
some golf with a few mates but
that had to give way to turning
professional and preparing for my
first event and my first week on
tour.
“It wasn’t meant to be like
that. The plan was to go to
Donegal with my friends. The
plan was to play in the Walker
Cup in September and then have

on Sunday
November and try to join the
Tour.
“We’ve had to change all
those plans and that is still hard
to believe.”
Lowry’s victory jig on the
rain-drenched 18th at Baltray is
already the stuff of Irish sport-
ing legend, and even that’s a
fact this modest young man
finds hard to believe.
Memories
“I have watched the celebra-
tion – not the full six hours of
play on the Sunday – with my
dad and I can’t believe that
people have said it’s as
famous a moment in
Irish sport as
Packie
Bonner’s
World
Cup save
in 1990,”
added Lowry.
“I still can’t believe
that it’s up there with
that or with Padraig
Harrington’s majors and the
All-Ireland titles for the Offaly
hurlers that stand out in my
own sporting memories.
“Although we do agree in
our house that it’s a
bigger achievement
than Offaly’s football
title in 1982 – and I
didn’t push anyone on
the 18th green in the
last minute!
“It was a mad week
alright. The maddest
thing was the fact that I
won the 3 Irish Open
but even on the follow-
ing Thursday when I was
coming up to Dublin to
announce my contract with
Horizon Sports Management I
stopped for diesel and five
Gardai were looking at me.
“They were staring for
good reasons! They just
wanted to know if I was the
guy who won the 3 Irish
Open. That’s nice and it’s been
like that since.
“It is good like, not a bad
thing, and I know now what it
means. On the Tuesday morning
after Baltray I woke up and lying
in bed I said to myself that I just
can’t believe all this, it’s unbe-
lievable.”
Lowry insists he won’t let the
fame or the potential fortune go
to his head. He’ll still live at
home with dad Brendan, the
Offaly GAA legend, and mum
Bridget.
They’ve stood by him, finan-
cially and emotionally, through
thick and thin as he carved a
most unusual career path for
himself.
“I never went around as kid
saying I was going to be a golf
pro,” revealed Lowry. “I was
late to the game and my first
memory of holding a golf club is
of hitting a few balls in my
uncle Sean’s back garden in
Crossmolina down in Mayo
when I was seven or eight.
“Then I joined the local pitch
and putt club in Clara when I
was nine but I had to lie
about my age because
you had to be 10 to
get in. My cousin was
joining as well and we
lived down there for
the summers.

“Even my dad only took up
golf after I did. He’s a handy
eight handicapper now and he
has taken a few bob off me in
his time but this is all as new to
my mum and dad as it is to me.
“They’re the ones who got
me here, they paid for me to be
a full time amateur along with
the GUI and the Ireland Golf
Trust for the last two-and-a-half
years and I owe them so much.
“I’m sure I can try and repay
my parents in some way now
but I don’t think anything I can
do for them will match what
they did for me.”
Cooking
Life as a pro holds no fears
for Lowry who has worked hard
on his fitness in recent months
with former rugby international
Eric Miller.
“I won’t be moving out of
home, I couldn’t survive without
my mum doing the cooking and
the washing and ironing for
me,” he laughed.
“I’m looking forward to the
tour. I’ve spent the last two-and-
a-half years travelling – I
was in Australia twice last
year and America as an
amateur – and living in
hotels and out of suit-
cases won’t bother me.
“All I want to do is
play golf and play it on
tour. I have that chance
now and I want to
make the most
of it.”

Killeen Castle – one of Jack’s classics

BEAUTY, they say, is in the eye of the beholder – so in
that case the new Killeen Castle golf resort in County
Meath is indeed a thing of beauty, rare beauty.
It is also, without a shadow of
a doubt, one of the finest park-
land golf courses in the country
and, dare I say it, the finest Jack
Nicklaus design on these shores.
At first glance that’s not much
of a statement. The Golden Bear
has, after all, only one previous
showcase on the island of
Ireland.
When you realise however
that his ‘other’ Irish design is the
wonderful Mount Juliet deep in
County Kilkenny then you can
start to get a taste of the excel-
lence on offer over a hundred
miles up the road in the Royal
County.
Infancy
From first tee to 18th green,
Killeen Castle is a collection of
top class golf holes, each sculpt-
ed in the traditional Nicklaus
fashion with rolling hillocks, deep
bunkers and challenging lay-outs.
There isn’t a weak hole on the
course in a design that makes
you think all the way around, a
course new and in its infancy but
very much established on the
eyeline.
In short, Killeen Castle is every-
thing you expect from a great
parkland course and then some

wannabe Irish Open winner.
Landing areas area are vast
and fair but you dare not fall
short on a course that is the epit-
ome of the modern penchant for
real length off the tee.
The rough has yet to grow to
its most pena,l but give it time.
And the greens are big, true and
quite spectacular.
Throw in the backdrop of a
stunning and refurbished Castle
visible from all but a few of the
immense holes and you have a
golf course to remember.
Add in the service on offer in
Killeen and you have a very spe-
cial day, a golf experience to
remember forever.
From the greeting at the front
gate to the ‘old friend’ reception
in the luxurious clubhouse, no
stone is left unturned to make
this a remarkable experience.
With a Dave Pelz short game
school on course and the
Solheim Cup on the way in
2011, Killeen Castle is already
making a big name in the Irish
golf world.
Nicklaus visited recently to hit
the first official drive on his new
masterpiece and explained what
first impressed him about the
Dunsany estate - the trees,
meadowlands, stone walls, the
creek running through it, low-
lying areas and the ancient Irish
castle, built “only 300 years
before America was discovered!”

“The challenge was to pull all
these elements together and
decide where to put the golf
holes,” said the Golden Bear,
“like how to put a tee beside a
400 year-old sycamore tree. I am
very happy with what we have
achieved.”

OSTEOPATHY
and the Golfer
HE trend among golfers who only attend an Osteopath to treat
T injuries is changing – golfers are now becoming more and
more aware of how regular Osteopathic treatment can better
prepare them, by improving poor body mechanics which are causative
factors in the injuries.
Muscles, tendons and ligaments
that are in a state of irregular tension
are more prone to damage than
those that are relaxed and not under
constant strain.
By addressing these weaknesses
Osteopathic treatment helps to
reduce the injury potential and
increase fitness and strength.
Osteopaths are also frequent mem-
bers of the medical teams on major
golf tours.
Rotation
The golf swing is the
most important com-
ponent of the game
and involves rotation
through the whole body
to generate the energy to strike the
ball.
The maximum potential
for the swing depends on
the bony mechanical struc-
ture of the body to be bal-
anced and mobile.
Compromised body
mechanics reduces the effi-
ciency of the body and so
the swing. Poor mechanics
also increase the potential
for injury.

niggles become the big problem.
This need not be the case. One of
the Osteopathic principles is
‘Structure Governs Function’ so a
body that was designed to be mobile
and versatile will be severely hindered
by structural restrictions.
It is our aim to minimise or correct
any of these restrictions allowing the
body to return to its natural balance.
Visiting your Osteopath early after
an injury can minimize the impact
upon the body. Regular visits will
greatly reduce the possibility of fur-
ther injuries.
Imbalance
Even if you have poor posture,
imbalanced body mechanics and are
carrying injuries for years Osteopathic
treatment can help you get the most
from your system.
Therefore it is obvious that treat-
ment which addresses the imbalance
and immobility in the bony skeletal
system is crucial to the long term per-
formance of the golfer, or indeed any
sportsperson wanting to maximise
the potential of their body.
So, regular Osteopathic treatment
can:
 Treat acute and chronic injuries
 Improve the general body
mechanics
 Promote flexibility and strength,
allowing the maximum potential to
be achieved, which includes better
health – not to mention better golf!

FROM THE
THICK ROUGH

You missed the fairway and find
your ball in thick rough. So, what
do you do now?
If your answer is ‘panic’, then you need to
change how you approach your shots from the
nasty stuff. A couple of slight adjustments and
there is no need to fear this escape shots.
Firstly, the ball will not travel as far when you
hit it, as your clubhead will not travel as quickly
through the grass. Allow for this, both in choice
of club and in the target area you are aiming at.
 Secondly, take a firmer-than-normal grip on
your club. This is not to say that you grip so
tight that you get white knuckles or that you
can’t feel your fingers. Just hold it that little bit
tighter so as the face doesn’t open too much
when the grass snags it.
There is also often a tendency to speed up
your backswing as you hit, but this can make you
lose your balance and in turn miss the intended
spot you are trying to hit. Also, be careful not to
‘overswing’. Don’t swing fast but swing a bit
harder and concentrate on an exaggerated fol-
low-through. Sometimes the grass won’t let you
follow through, but at least you’ve given your
ball every chance of escape.

If you are a right-hander you should also aim
a bit left to counteract the fact that the ball
won’t be in contact with your clubface as long
and that the grass will open your clubface a bit.
How much is a matter of judgement and experi-
ence.
So there is no need to fear this shot, but just
be realistic in your targets. Too much ambition is
not necessarily a good thing to have in the
rough!
