Your in Sport! David P. Harris (A Dub living in Galway!) |
Brendan FahyJul 15, 2010 : Ballinasloe, GalwayGood luck in the Open Padraig. You looked swell in the threads with Caroline after receiving your honorary degree at St Andrews. A great honour for a great guy; surely nothing was better deserved for our greatest sportsman of all time. |
Sherry EdwardsJul 14, 2010 : Kansas City, MoPaddy, We are so excited you are playing w/ our Kansas City Champion Tom Watson. We are huge, humongous, dedicated Tom Watson/Paddy Harrington fans & you two are playing together. Man if we knew that we would of closed up shop & headed across the pond & walked the course w/ you guys all the way to a third major win! We will be up & watching @ 0 dark hundred this Tursday morning. We followed you around the fedex cup last year(I was one of the crazy whistlers). I will never forget the chip on 7 the second or third day, we were right on the rope, unbelievable, then we saw you do that amazing shot early in the morning @ quail hollow an eagle, i think that was day 2. Then we watched you destroy everyone on your first day @ travelers "64", so close, your time is coming. I know you can do this, you love the challenge...so big daddy St. Andrews bring it on & make all the others cry, well except for Tommy Watson. Now come on you Irish bully, play the way the good lord meant ya to play & win!!!! We hope to see ya play again soon. Sherry |

Dad put 20 pounds on you today and if you win he is going to keep his 20 and give the rest to CF... so good luck tomorrow. I know you will have a great time with Tom Watson.... ;maybe when I am your age I will be teeing off with you at ST Andrews and saying how I was delighted with the draw!! good luck tomorrow, conor |

You might remember that he fell on his way to get to you (cut his knee) and I am really appreciative how you made a big deal of him when signing for him. It made his day and mine. Best of luck in the Open. Pat. |
Conor ByrneJul 7, 2010 : StrabaneHi Padraig! I was delighted to get your autograph today- what a mob there was! I hope you like the card that I made for you - which I gave you on the way to the 2nd tee. My Dad says there were only 3 players who had an Aura about them today at Adare Manor; Jim Furyk, Tiger and as always, yourself. Good luck next week at the Open in St.Andrews. I would love to be like you someday and be so friendly and kind to the children (and the adults!). You are so patient with all your fans. Thanks for the ball on Monday at the 11th tee - it means a lot to me! From your no.1. fan Conor Byrne, 8 |

Tim StevensJun 29, 2010 : ParisDear Padraig, such a pleasure to your fans to see those 2 great rounds of 64 at the Traveler's! Class will out, they say, and that was classy. When you play like that, there is a natural authority few can rival. In my humble opinion, all it takes now is a little more self-belief to achieve that consistency that sits between you and winning again. And what better place to do that than at St Andrew's? :-) You will have the support and affection of all your many followers. Good luck! Sincerely, Tim Stevens |
Bob WhitakerJun 29, 2010 : Fairhope, Alabama, USACongratulations on your bookend 64's at the Travelers...looking forward to seeing you put it all together again at the Old Course. And thanks for playing a little more here in the US...best of luck and success in The Open. |
Joe MontanoJun 29, 2010 : WethersfieldPadraig, I wanted to thank you for taking the time yesterday to give me your autograph. I was the guy who came up to you while you were at the gas station after your round. I'm sorry if I bothered you at all. You looked busy or upset, knowing you fell just short of making it into the playoff. We did follow you around for a bit yesterday and you looked really sharp out there. Keep up the great playing! Again, thank you for making my day extra special by taking the time to sign my Traveler's ticket. Good luck with your career. Sincerely, Joe Montano |

BradJun 23, 2010 : DenverMr. Harrington, I had the pleasure to meet you for a brief moment this weekend while I was volunteering. Thanks for continuing to show that good golfers can also be courteous and good people. You showed class on and off the course when others did not. Your round on Sunday was fun to watch and very impressive on that brutal course. I will be rooting with you at St. Andrews. |
