Jon Kiger: Early hours and a special bond
Reporting to work at 4 AM creates a special bond. This is my friend Neil McCarrick from County Meath. He works for a construction company there but is working the golf tournament this week. Neil and I are on the back nine bunker crew so we spend the first three early hours of the day together. As has been the case with so many people I meet in Ireland we are instant friends and the craic and banter is non-stop.
Neil has four kids - three boys and a girl all of whom are involved in sports (mostly rugby and GAA Football) so we have lots to talk about as get the back nine bunkers ready for play each day. Thankfully we have had help on the back nine for the past three days and the work has gone fairly quickly.
As you can see from his cap, Neil is one cool cat.
