Rory McIlroy after breaking the course record at Royal Portrush in 2005

Rory - IMG_1479This is the image in question. I took this on 12th July 2005.
It is of Rory McIlroy on the 18th green at Royal Portrush after he had broken the course record for the course. He shot an amazing score of 61.
He was playing in the second day of the five day North of Ireland Amateur Golf Championship. The competition is played each year in July over the Royal Portrush and Valley Courses. The first two days are stroke and the top 64 players enter a match play competition over the last three days with the final on the Friday afternoon. I have attended this competition for many years and watched Darren Clark win it as well as watching Graeme McDowell, Padriag Harrington and Paul McGinley compete when they were amateurs.  

I presented this slide set to Larne Camera Club members via Zoom on Tuesday 13th October 2020.
The title of the members talk was " The Impact on my photography of setting up a web site"
I covered my photography pre-web site from 1978 to 2005 and post-web site from 2005 to the present showing photographs that I considered had been successful in my terms and talking about the subjects and the background to taking the photographs in each case.
