Pádraig’s positive thinking

Pádraig Harrington didn’t allow himself to plumb the depths of despair during what he admits was the worst year of his career in 2014.

How he kept his sanity is something all handicap golfers could learn from and they’ll get that chance to ask him when he puts on a charity clinic — “An Evening with Pádraig Harrington” — at The Gaiety Theatre in Dublin on January 20.

All the proceeds will be split between his charitable foundation and the ISPCC with Ticketmaster waiving their fees for the €45-a-ticket chance to pick up some pearls of wisdom from the three-time Major winner.
