I cried so many times during this amazing production I was never sure why I really like Shane Lowry so much and now I understand such a beautiful story and such a wonderful family and friends these are the true fairy tales of our times good on you Shane

[@frankconway6760]

An absolute gem of a documentary about an absolutely superb man whom the whole country is so proud of and what a great role model he is for all young sports kids.......Granny is a dote and sings like a lark.

[@DidiPort]

Could be the best Golf Video I have seen. He was a good lad and still is. So real and authentic - I just realised what gave him that tough edge you need to succeed, he played Hurling! Those guys are absolutely crazy! Jokes aside he is one of my favourite players, he is very humble. Please youngsters of today look at people like this, what a great role model, care for family, well mannered, believes in where came from his home town - this exceptional. We can learn so much from the likes of Mr Lowery.

This warms my heart, how most Irish people were brought up. And I miss it, being 20 years in America now. I’m from Northern Ireland and a Rory fan, but I’ll fly any Irish flag, strong and true. Because at the end of the day, I’m proud to be Irish.

[@jimmyn1357]

I’m an Irish man living in the UK and this video for some reasons makes me emotional

[@koenrutten496]

I think this video says more about being Irish than anything else. So much of who Shane is (and McIlroy for that matter) has to do with the growing up in Ireland. Lovely to see.

[@richo2501]

OMG, what does that turd McIlroy have to do with this decent, humble, awesome guy like Shane Lowry. Why do you have to even bring him up in the same breath. Lowry is a class act. McIlroy is an overgrown child who throws his toys out of the cot all the time. Nothing but a baby with millions in the bank. Leave McIlroy out of it.

[@stevenduffy]

If anyone ever asks you what it's like being Irish, what is Irish culture like? Show them this. This, I think, is the epitome of what the heart of Irish culture is really like!!

[@woodman8827]

Love seeing Shane succeed. Very down to earth lad.

[@alanmurphy6427]

What an amazing player and what an amazing man. He is a credit to his parents. He clearly is very grounded and hasn't let the fame get to his head. I definitely want to go to his new pub! Would love to see him win the Irish Open in The K Club in 2023. Good man Shane! Great production too from the DP World Tour.

What a fantastic piece on a great lad. More success to Shane in 2023.

[@mariovanrompaey9291]

The comment about Offaly winning An all Ireland final being up there with winning the Open at Royal Portrush speaks volumes of the man, it's not about the money, it's about what you stand for that counts. Good man on and off the course.

What a fine father and familyman. Oh yes, and a fantastic golfplayer... Love watching Shane play

[@annahayman5069]

My parents came from about 25 mins drive from Offalay (Clara) a place named Portlaoise . Two little towns Mountrath and Mountmellick. We would go every summer school holidays to see family, over 50 yrs ago. Lovely memories of my Grannie, aunts, uncles and cousins. 🇮🇪🇬🇧❤

[@paulbergin6301]

I think Shane's wife comes from Mountrath.

[@FrankOBrien-ti7ny]

​@@paulbergin6301I wouldn't think so. An Offaly man would never marry a Laois woman.

[@jdermody1]

Just to say about his home course Esker Hills... The welcome is that friendly, lovely club and great course (a gem you won't forget in a hurry)... Can't praise it high enough...

Offaly and Kerry in THAT All Ireland is perhaps, along with some Dublin and Kerry games in the 70s, are the most iconic games of football in the history of the GAA. Think Kerry as Barcelona going for their 5th champions league in a row and someone like Aston Villa beating them in the final with a goal 5 minutes into injury time..

[@johnmeyler8080]

He knows how to win a tournament as all those great golfers can. I doubt if any of those other greats can celebrate in the style that he did on wining The Open. Look up the way he celebrated and above all hear him singing “ My little Honda Fifty”. Brilliant!!.

Shane Lowry......ENOUGH SAID...........❤❤❤

[@davidcorcoran9959]

Shane's dad was probably the most underrated player on that offaly team. He could pick off scores from well out the field when offaly really needed them. Some people would know that he was also a classy soccer player. Athlone town used implore him to sign for them, and that was back when they were the best team in the league of ireland, won two league titles back then. His first love was gaelic football though, and who could blame him. But for the fact that they coincided with that great kerry team, i reckon offaly would have added more all irelands back then.

[@Stavrosmct]

Ive met Shane before and he's a top lad for a fan walking up to him and asking for a photo.

[@misa5941]

What are credit here’s to his family, his friends his people, Ireland! He is a great ambassador for the game.

[@mj2k111]

I absolutely love his Nan hahaha she’s brilliant!

[@davidfox7983]

Great guy Great Ambassador for Clara and Offaly

[@endamolloy3141]

My claim to fame when it comes to Shane. The year after he won the Irish Open as an amateur. I was shopping in Athlone with my wife. We had parked the car in an underground car park and as we walked along i heard the rumble of a V8 engine. I looked around to see a silver Range Rover being driven by a woman and thinking to myself "I'd love one of those". She was having trouble parking it and asked me if id park it for her. I said i would and being a smart ass i asked why was she driving it if she couldn't park it. She informed me "it belongs to my son". I asked her if her son was famous or was he a drug dealer... "Id rather not say" was her answer. So i said "Ok, so he's a drug dealer"... She laughed and said "no, he's a golfer, he's Shane Lowry"... With that i very nearly crashed his car. Being an Offaly man myself, the sense of pride in the man and what he had achieved even in these, his fledgling years as a golfer, representing Ireland and more importantly Offaly was immense. We got into the lift together and spoke of Shane and his career. The Dubai desert classic was coming up and i asked her how she thought he might do in it and she said "Well i might have a tenner on him myself"... He didn't win it... But it didn't matter. What a man that faith has chosen to represent this Country, this County. What a man... The very best of luck to Shane and his family in the future. Hon Offaly.

[@adamcooper7824]
