Tipperary Crystal would like to congratulate our designer Christy O’Connor for getting inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame.
O’Connor, 84, who won 43 professional titles and played on 10 Ryder Cup teams, will become the second Irish golfer in the World Golf Hall Of Fame, joining the late Joe Carr. So talented was O’Connor — one of the most natural swingers ever, according to Lee Trevino — and revered in his homeland that he got the nickname “Himself.”
He inspired generations of Irish golfers.
O’Connor, who will be inducted Nov. 2, was humbled by the honor.
“My deepest thanks go to those who felt I was a deserving case and those who voted for me to join such a distinguished list of golfing people,”
