Leona Maguire Into ‘Starships’ & ‘Wild Ones’ But Golf Comes First.
In the 2012 Curtis Cup official programme Leona Maguire says when she’s not golfing she likes to swim, read, go to the cinema, play pool and table tennis and listen to music, particularly rap.

Monty’s Autobiography Gaff! It’s Paul Lawrie Not Peter.

McGinley Takes To The Pool But Not With London Olympics In Mind.
It’s less than 60 days to the start of the London Olympics and Paul McGinley’s in the pool.
However the triple Ryder Cup winning star, who is contesting this week’s Wales Open, is not out to make a last dash bid to join the Ireland swim team.
McGinley’s taken to swimming 40 laps a day of the 25 metre pool at Wentworth to help improve his troublesome knee.
And the many laps of backstroke and crawl are beginning to work wonders for the near certain 2014 European Ryder Cup captain.
