Darren Clarke is a professional golfer from Northern Ireland who currently plays on the European Tour and has previously played on the PGA Tour. Darren Clarke has won 22 tournaments worldwide on a number of golf’s main tours including the European Tour, the PGA Tour, the Sunshine Tour and the Japan Golf Tour. Now, Darren Clarke celebrates his 2011 Open win, a triumph for 40-something golfers everywhere. In this article, you may find the news about Darren Clarke. If you are looking to buy good golf clubs or read golf clubs review, I would like to recommend the good Callaway golf - Callaway Diablo EDGE Fairway Wood to you! As Darren Clarke, with his middle-age spread, steel-grey thatch and lived-in face, lifted the Claret Jug aloft, it felt like a triumph for experience and for rich living, 40-something know how. Only golf can do this in our sporting life. And the Open, in particular, reaches creaking parts that other majors cannot reach. Someone asked him if it had felt different to his previous near-misses when, presumably, nobody could send him good-luck messages because texts did not exist back then. “I may look ancient but I’m not that old,” he laughed. Good for the old boys. This was a day to make them feel particularly good about themselves. If Clarke could win here at 42 when the bookies were hanging him out as a 150-1 shot, then why not any of them, asked a beaming Mickelson, whose own unique fireworks display seemed to take years off him. It was no coincidence that Clarke, alongside Johnson, Mickelson, partnering Anthony Kim, and Bjorn, looking fantastically grizzled next to young Fowler, won the individual last-day duels hands down with their young thrusters. “The more I put myself in this situation the better, the more I learn,” the 27 year-old sighed afterwards. So, by the time he is 40, he will hopefully have learned how not to throw away Majors after this third last day implosion. “I think the players, as they get old, can play this championship more effectively. Like Darren has, like Watson has and like me now! I was watching a lot of the younger guys fighting the wind more and not hitting the ball like Watson does with those low penetrating shots.” That’s why when Clarke reflected on his “long, bumpy 20-year road” to glory here on the 18th green, everyone wanted to celebrate a life so richly lived. Hail the old boy and his black stuff. Love golf from my childhood. Do you know any top golf clubs for me? I'm using taylormade r11 driver now, and it's great. Golf Clubs Masters Mizuno Golf
