Finding Padraig through rain and mud

IT wasn’t a very pleasant day at City West. The Irish rugby team arrived back drenched to the skin after their session down the N7 at Naas.

But the golfers competing in the Asian disaster pro-am hardly noticed. Teams of 31 forked out €10,000 to battle through the rain and the mud and seemed to enjoy every moment of it.

Among them was Padraig Harrington, who had already donated a large proportion of the €225,000 from his recent three-day clinic to the tsunami fund.
