Sorry for the Ireland oversight! Who can forget the shot Christy O'Connor Jnr hit at the Belfry in '89! That one hurt! Was it Christy O'Connor Snr, or the Welshman Neil Coles that was a prodigious ball striker but had a fear of flying?
Neil Coles was an Englishman who was indeed a great ball striker and who refused to fly. I saw him play in the Irish Seniors Open a few years ago when he was 72 in Fota in Cork and he was very impressive for his age. The tournement had no ropes so I was able to walk along side him for a few holes.
Christy O'Connor Snr or "Himself" as we call him in Ireland was a spectacular ball striker. I only got to saw him play when he was quite old but it was a sight to behold. In his clinic he used to put a ball in a divot then stand on it and then proceed to hit a high draw using a driver. Plugged bunker shots stone dead one handed etc etc. Remarkable talent who would have one several opens if his putting had been better
