Email trumps pen
WRITING by hand is steadily dying out as young people are too glued to their gadgets to pick up a pen, a new study reveals.
Six- in-ten say they write less by hand than ten years ago as letter writing is becoming a lost art to emails, texts and messaging via the likes of WhatsApp.
25 per cent of 18-24-year- olds admit they have never written a letter, while 40 per cent of that group have never written a love note.
Rory McIlroy and Erica Stoll
IF IT wasn’t for American Erica, Europe may have never gotten their hands on the Ryder Cup 2012.
McIlroy nearly overslept the final round of action nearly a decade ago before Stoll — then a PGA employee — alerted him in time for his singles battle ttle with Keegan Bradley.
Jon Rahm and Kelley
Cahill CAHILL is a regular presence on golf courses around the world as she cheers on her husband Jon Rahm.
The pair have been together since college, as the Spaniard’s other half is an American who attended Arizona
State University. They married in 2019 and now have a son (Kepa) together.
Shane Lowry and
Wendy Honner SHANE Lowry is married to Irishwoman Wendy Honner and the pair have a twoyear- old daughter named Iris and baby Ivy.
They met on a “random night out” in 2012 and got married in New York in 2016. In the week after The Masters, the Irishman proposed on a beach in Dubai in 2014.
It was a small ceremony because the guest list began spiralling, according to Lowry.
“The guest list [was spiralling] and I get stressed very easily, so we decided the big white wedding at home was not what we wanted.
“Anyone who knows Wendy knows that she doesn’t like the limelight or anything like that… It was really all very chilled,” Lowry told a newspaper at the time.
“It was perfect for the two of us.”
Sergio Garcia and Angela Akins LIKE Rahm, Garcia is a Spanish pro who’s wife is American. Akins met Garcia through working for the Golf Channel, as she worked as a golf reporter previously for Fox Sports.
She knows how to play without a doubt as the Texan representing the women’s team at the University of Texas.
Lee Westwood and Helen
Storey STOREY will be a lot closer to the action than most of the other WAGs at the Ryder Cup this weekend as she works as husband Lee Westwood’s caddie.
The couple originally met in 2015 and she went on to carry his bag for the first time in 2018.
The golfing pair decided to tie the knot earlier this year.
