Throughout the years many fine golfers from the other side of the Atlantic Ocean have visited the United Kingdom, too many to list them all individually.
The latest is Rocco Mediate, who is not only a very fine player, but also a most pleasing individual in every true meaning of the word.
His reception on the 18th green at the conclusion of the second round of The Open Championship was well merited, and once more highlighted the esteem felt for visitors to these shores.
Good manners and accord appear to be passwords for all professional golfers from the new world, and Rocco proudly can take his place among them.
European competitors, with the exception of one or two, have also been blessed with the ability to communicate with the fans, who in turn respond in a like manner.
Another 36 holes must pass before the 2008 Open Champion is crowned on Sunday evening, and regardless who the victor may be, there is no doubt whatsoever Rocco Mediate has made a huge contribution to the event by his presence.
Hopefully he will return many more times.
In Ireland, there has long been an old saying to describe those who leave lasting impressions, it reads: You are a gentleman, a scholar and a judge of good liqueur.
Rocco you are most welcome to the club!
