Harrington and Clarke chip in for charity

WHAT a week this is set to be for Ireland’s top two golfers, Pádraig Harrington and Darren Clarke!

While Harrington is taking on the not inconsiderable task of staging major clinics at City West on Thursday, Friday and Saturday in aid of his Charitable Foundation, Clarke returns to competitive action after a two-month break in the South African Open in Durban.

Both men are clearly conscious of how fortunate they have been in accumulating considerable wealth through their golfing exploits and are intent on giving back as much as can be reasonably expected through various charitable donations.
