Former One Direction singer Niall Horan is an ideal ambassador to help steer golf towards towards a more enlightened path, writes Iain Carter.
Is he a Johnny come lately, or someone who doesnt know what to do with all his earnings or has a genuine interest. Only time will tell and far too early to tout him as a saviour.....
Bryson is the man whose gonna save golf. He's 50 years ahead of his time with his innovative methods.
Like Tiger before him, he's raising the standards.

Great for golf - anything that helps to reduce / remove the old f... image of golf is a good thing .
All help much appreciated and welcome.What my club has found from taking golf to thousands of kids in schools is that they are motivated by heroes on the golf course not off it and participation is driven by grass roots efforts getting people to give it a go,making it fun and making it quick as competition for kids time is intense
golf is good.
*golf is a waste of a good walk
Hopefully he is not one of those 5hrs+ per round players. Slow play is killing professional and amateur golf.
Great comment NOT, what has the time it takes for him to play a round of golf got to do with the article, I am sure the courses he plays on will never cross paths with yours! Stick to the topic at hand.
looking for happy hookers on the golf course?
Have always thought there is no reason why a competition can't be held with men and women competing at the same time and being televised at same time whilst competing in their own categories. Could even extend this to disabled and promising youth players. Have a tee box for each and everyone enjoys the same TV exposure.
Such competitions do exist, the European Tour did one a couple of years ago and it was poor. Regardless of what the MSM would have you believe, the vast majority of people that watch golf, watch it because of the world's best players - an none of them are women or children.
Sadly some countries in Europe it is only a game for the wealthy and their children ,The Golf associations are founded by Business people mainly in the main city ,they are a long way from spreading the game to the schools outside of their own areas. Some children will never see a golf club in a village school . The natural talent that may be out there may not see light of day. NO MONEY
If the R&A had focused on ensuring golf in the UK had visibility such as the BBC showing live golf, then perhaps they would not have rely on 'saviours' like Niall Horan.
Notwithstanding the above, golf world- wide is in a healthy state with it's popularity increasing in developing nations. I'm sure the won't have to rely on young pop stars to make golf appealing to the masses.

I’ve never heard such a load of rubbish..
Good luck to him. I suppose whilst he is doing that he is not making music - so everybody wins. :)
Over here Viktor Hovland is doing a great job.
People are going wild about his efforts and plenty are talking golf.
Who is Niall Horan?

Same could be said for Victoria after that quadruple bogey, soz I know it's off topic but I've never laughed so much shenanigans around one hole lol
At least young Niall is putting the effort in and where better to start than at the capital of golf.

I'm really good at golfing - it only takes me 4 shots to get it through the windmill now
Utterly ridiculous article, very poor Iain.
I imagine most golf fans are wishing for a world where the dinosaurs at the R&A would still snort into their GnT's at the suggestion of using Horan as some sort of golfing catnip for snowflakes.
Golf will always have a large support and play base, a wash-up boyband talent vacuum will make no difference either way. Removed

Of course women are world class golfers, what a ridiculous statement to make, we watch them every week, same as we watch the world class male golfers.
Think you missed the point, they’re not trying to appeal to the vast majority who already watch golf, they’re trying to appeal to those who don’t and may have other interests other than what’s already shown.
You grow by attracting more people, and they may have different interest to you.

For golf to prosper it needs visibility to the 'new' generations. The game is doing ok at the moment due to other sports being restricted. I am speaking from a Scottish perspective where you are currently still allowed to play albeit in '2 balls' only. Introducing a faded 'pop star' into the scene might attract a few youngsters but coverage on Terrestial tv would do a lot more.
Faded popstar? Wow you are giving your age away. As for terrestrial tv no thanks, your just thinking of your pocket but that is not surprising! Long may sky sports continue the coverage...
I stopped watching live golf on sky, only tune in for highlights, to many commercial breaks done it for me, I guess they need the money from adverts. Maybe a split screen would help.
I guess you are a senior member.

Incorrect, a large proportion of golfers care about women's golf, don't transfer your negative views onto others. Next we'll be hearing from you that the men hit it too far and courses need to have more penal rough and equipment needs to be limited. You need to get out the 20th century and come join the 21st century.
Prize money must be based on event popularity, not equal pay for the sake of equality. Sponsorship and TV rights revolve around the marketability of a product - women’s golf simply doesn’t have the requisite fan base.
“Equal” pay will eventually result in the public being charged more (through subscriptions and rising costs in the grass roots game) as they won’t reduce the prize money for the men

Our subs don't contribute to the prize money of the major events. They do support grass roots and I'm quite happy to continue doing so and more besides.
My thought was that the only way equal prize money could work is if the men agree to receive less. It's possible that over time greater exposure could bring more money into the women's game, but that will depend almost entirely on more women playing and/or watching. Piggybacking on the men's success simply won't work longer term.
The PR agency did a good job setting up this article.

What a pathetic comment. However, I would not expect anything less from an individual whose sole objective on any HYS is to troll.
Sky coverage and the commentary are worse than awful. The Sky cart anyone? They've lost it all now, but the BBC were streets ahead.

If the sport becomes more accessible, where will all the stuck up golfers go?
Hopefully they will all go to your local club. That would be nice.
Golf has benefitted from new players of all ages and genders coming to the game since last May when courses reopened. The key is to maintain the interest and appetite for the game. Most golfers I know have little interest in TV watching; partly due to the cost. There needs to be as much emphasis on the social side of the game as well as the competition element.

sorry im on BBC side, no offence but it's just not good to watch. same as football, rugby and athletics. i support spurs and have absolutely no care whatsoever about the womens team, couldnt even name a player!
its not for me and even a penny in subscription and i would cancel

Nice to see from the small amount of comments that some still have a niblick up their posterior.
We’ve had a great tournament around a great course and this is the HYS of Monday......
I was about to say the same. Quite frankly I couldn't give two hoots about what some washed up popstar is doing. Despite the article, I doubt anything he does makes a ripple in the greater golfing world.
Although, maybe Rory will give him a go as caddie...

I met him 4 year ago at the Dunhill links at Carnoustie on a cold October morning, he was out watching Christian Bezuidenhout who was one of the first golfers along with Connor Syme to join his management company, I am sure he could of been anywhere in the world, but he chose a small Angus town - fair play to him. Bezuidenhout now top 50 in world rankings ??

Golf on Sky is embarrassing. You’re lucky to see half a dozen shots before adverts and if the rulers of the game don’t do anything about slow play, it will become unwatchable, if it’s not already!!
Due to COVID Sky are having to use the broadcast feed from America for the bigger events like this. If it was the BBC we’d not even have the amount of live golf we have nowadays - so wouldn’t complain too much
The worst bit is that since the restart they've been pretending that Rich Beem is actually at the venue to give them some sort of presence on course.
My husband took a team of juniors to a competition against some other clubs and was asked by the county organiser why they were carrying their clubs ? He told him it was bad for their back development and they should have power caddies , my husband just shook his head because they can't afford them. Idiot
Judging by the number of kids who are driven to school these days, I'm surprised the organiser didn't suggest they all have buggies to save their backs and knees. The future of golf is in good hands with people like your husband willing to give their time and encouragement to the next generation.
Agree 100%.. Young enough carry..
Our old pro would never let juniors out with trolley's..
One problem with today's youngsters they want all the gear, then top it off with a tour bag they can't lift ????
Sets them off with the wrong mindset..

So he's a nice guy. Never doubted he is.
They're implying he'll make golf cool. He won't. You're already in to golf so can't really be subjective.

Golf certainly needs shaking up, but I doubt the r&a are the people to do it, as they are so removed from reality.
Reduce rules to one side of A4, would be a good start.

Having less irons with roughly 10 yard gaps will only add to the time it takes to play a shot. Agree on green books.
Ban lines on balls as well. Takes them an eternity to line a putt up. Me? I’ve always made sure I’m only seeing white dimples, just find it adds in the human error element

He gave up teaching no money in it where we live in Devon took over with no juniors boosted the section to about twenty and realised this a waste of time and charging a fiver a lesson on a Saturday , now they have no juniors !,
From the bushes, into the bunker with a horrid lie, back in the bushes, penalty shot, duffed chip, and then he actually holed a beauty for his quad. It was indeed a bad hole and it was the 18th after going with 7 birdies and ten pars up until that point.
All with a smile on his face too.
Niall is indeed putting the effort in and good luck to him and the golf authorities who rule are beautiful game

Agreed, too many adverts so i record and catch up over a few hours. Sky commentators (Murray and McGinley) still talk too much and fawn over certain players way too much. Watch it muted is best.

In Norway, the golf courses were closed last march when all this craziness hit our shores. The powers that be decided 90 minutes later that closing golf courses is ridiculous and I have been hitting golf balls non stop ever since.
When I look at the starttime booking system online today I see the 2 courses I am a member of are pretty well fully booked all week.
The game is flourishing here.

Great to hear such good news and positivity. So many posters come on here stating that golf is in decline when the opposite is true.
Great to read of a national sensible approach to Covid risk, my club in England did everything right in applying reasonable social distancing rules and still we have been open and shut, in my view, unnecessarily, at a time when golf could be a real tonic and also boost visibility of the sport. My suspicion is it's done for fear of appearing elitist to allow reopening, outdated mindset by govt.
Good news Maks, I have played sene valley twice in the last week with not a soul on the course, what a treat to get out here even though it’s still a little taboo. ??????????

They may not be your cup of tea, & you don't need to read the article if they are not but I'd suggest showing a bit more respect for individuals like Niall, Rory & Harry (or anyone). All three have got right to the top of their careers & seem to conduct themselves in a respectful manner, maybe something to learn.
As for a ripple, golf tournaments, agency, media articles seems to tick that box.

Leona Maguire is from County Cavan in the Republic of Ireland.
True. Good journalism, that, stating that she is from Northern Ireland! Possibly down to the usual ignorance re the fact that Ulster and Northern Ireland are not the same thing, with Cavan, Monaghan and Donegal all being in Ulster but not being in Northern Ireland.
Who cares where she's from.

Good to see the game moving forward in a positive way for the tours. Also Niall Horan's management stables include a wonderful young golfer in Leona Maguire. Congratulations Leona on a fine tournament on the LPGA at the weekend, six under par and tied for 16th place.
Oooh. Tied 16th. There is surely no limit to what this person can achieve...

To be honest I doubt they know what is going on in the grand scheme of things.
The good thing about living in Stavanger, the oil city of Norway, is that the players buy all the top of the range clubs and balls despite being pretty new to the game.
The upshot of that is that in the cellar I have 2 plastic buckets full of Titleist Pro V1s and Pro V1x that look like they have only been hit once :)

and that is how it should be across the whole UK as well. The health experts and scientists have said it, sadly a few out of touch MPs on various obscure committees have said otherwise.
27 holes at my club, Stonebridge, it's never been so popular. Tough to get out for a cheeky 9 in the afternoons, but it's great for the club, and the facilities have improved as a result, including kids coaching. I think golf participation is on an upward trajectory, and long may it last.

Go on then I will behave.
What did you make of Bob's efforts this weekend?
I still do not see what the fuss is about him.
Would you have him in the Ryder Cup team?
I see Rasmus looked out of his depth too and I am worried about Fleetwood and Rose too.
Did you watch John Rahm on friday? That was some serious hacking and petulance by that man throughout the entire round. I was shocked.

Morikawa is the best young player coming through, he is a class apart from the others, reminds me of a young RM with his fearless but controlled approach, big bob will have his day, just needs to play in more tournaments in the states.
Bob is over in the US for 7 weeks. If he comes back higher up the rankings than when he left, I think his trip will have been a success.
I wouldn’t judge his trip solely on this weekend, or in now he does at the masters, but based on the body of work that he puts together over the full course of the 7 weeks.
Poor start, but plenty of opportunity to deliver.

What ball do you use?
I find those 2 balls, together with Callaway Supersoft and the Srixon Ultisoft perfect for my game.
Tried hitting a Titleist NXT Tour but couldn't get it to fly at all.
