Rio 2016 Olympics Countdown!

Ri0 2016 is only one year away!

In October of 2009 it was announced that the 2016 Summer Olympic Games would take place in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The 2016 Summer Olympics are unique in the fact that it is the first time that the Olympic Games take place in a South American country. The games will begin with the opening ceremony, set to take place on August 5, 2016, and will end with the closing ceremony on August 21, 2016. Preparations have already begun for the 2016 Summer Olympics, with Brazil spending billions of dollars to get everything ready.

Congratulations once again Rory!

Rory Mcllroy gave himself an early birthday present over the weekend with a victory in the WGC- Cadillac Match Play in San Francisco. This is Mcllroy’s second World Golf Championship title after victory in the Bridgestone Invitational last year.

He defeated Gary Woodland 4&2 in the final at Harding Park, his third win of the day after completing victory over Paul Casey in the quarter-finals and producing a brilliant finish to get the better of Jim Furyk in the last four.

McIlroy admits he was proud of the character he showed in San Francisco and so are we!

We would also like to wish Rory a happy 26th birthday!
