McGrane’s gamble paying off in rich dividends

MANY people were extremely surprised when Damien McGrane decided last year to quit his job as club professional at Wexford Golf Club.

While he and his family had settled in the southeast and were extremely popular there, the 34-year-old McGrane decided he would return to his native Kells in Meath and concentrate exclusively on the European Tour.

It looks as if his confidence in his own playing ability wasn't misplaced, for he was 68th in the order of merit before this week with more than €183,000 to his credit.
