Shane Filan will be singing when hes swinging

Westlife singer Shane Filan will be singing when he's swinging after his wife Gillian splashed out on a surprise dream trip to the US Masters gold tournament...

The golf fanatic superstar will jet off this weeK to Augusta to follow Tiger Woods and Irish sensation Padraig Harrington as they both battle for the most coverted prize in golf...

Shane was stunned when Gillian handed him the VIP Tickets to all four rounds, of the spetacular tournament that begins on Thursday...

He will be mixing with the biggest names from the sport and celebrities who make the trek to the hallowed Georgia Venue every year...

And Shane, 29 told the Irish Daily Mirror, how he will be hoping to see plenty of bop bop birdies as the action unfolds... "It was such an incredible surprise, I am so excited, and Ill be there cheering on Harrington, to three majors in a row. "

"He presented us with our Meteor Award last month, and we had a great chat , so I will be getting right behind in Augusta. Im a big fan of his as well as Rory McLlroy from the North. "

"And of course it will be incredible to see Tiger up close and personal "

Sligo man Shane, has been on a misson to improve his golf handicap since Westlife's year off.

He plays three times a week at the stunning Strandhill golf club.

Shane currently boasts a 14 handicap but hopes to get it down to 10 by the end of summer.

He added "I played in the winter league this year with Gillian's dad, Michael and it was lots of fun. It improved my game big time. It's the first time ive had long enough off from the band to be able to do something like that . "

"I am going to Augusta with a couple of friends, and can't wait for it to all start on thursday. "

Shane and Gillian were thrilled when his baby son Patrick was born last September - the couple's second child.

They have been spending most of the time at home in Sligo with Patrick and three year old daughter Nicole, as they enjoy the simple things in life.

Shane said "Its been nice to spend so much time with the family and adjust to life with a second child. But we will be going back to work with Westlife by the end of the year, and we cannot wait to get a new album out there

LOL Villy - I was thinking the same about the end of the year. lol. Mind you he did get confused on tour last year and announced they wouldn't be touring next year but see you on tour in 2009. It took Kian to say to him for him to realise what he had said. Soooo funny.

McIlroy sets up Augusta trip for his old mate Paul

Thursday, 9 April 2009


Past Great Britain and Ireland boys golf squad captain Stuart Paul from Tandragee Golf Club has had a dream come true this week.


The former North of Ireland Champion and West of Ireland champion is in Augusta for the Masters as a guest of Rory McIlroy.

Scratch player Stuart always looked after young Rory as a junior when supplying him with high brand golf equipment as area manager for top US golf manufacturers Titliest and Footjoy.

When Stuart arrived from a long flight to Atlanta on Tuesday little did he realise what young Rory had laid on for himself and coach Michael Bannon from Bangor Golf Club.

Not only is he staying in a house overlooking the course, he and Michael have been enjoying meeting the players and management teams. Their opening night surprise was a barbecue next door with McIlroy’s manager Chubby Chandler, Lee Westwood and Shane Filan from Westlife to name but a few. Filan and was caddying for Westwood in yesterday’s par three competition.

Rory planned Stuart's ticket to Augusta last year when he qualified and he send Paul a surprise text at Christmas.

A delighted Stuart said: "It was one of the eight tickets allocated to Rory and he sent me the invitation by text. Always as a child Rory promised if he made it to the Masters that I would get a ticket. "

Stuart's wife Esther, who also plays golf at Tandragee said: "This is a trip of a lifetime for Stuart. It is something he has always dreamed of.

"There is a fantastic hype to the Masters in Augusta, and a great influx of people from the Irish golf scene. Harry Diamond, Rory's long time friend from Bangor is also there along with Rory's girlfriend Holly."

Paul beat Graeme McDowell in the North of Ireland amateur Open final at Portrush in 2001 but opted to remain as an area manager for Northern Ireland and Isle of Man with Titliest rather than turn professional.

However he remains a well-known face on the golfing circuit and has been on the junior GB and Ireland squad with Padraig Harrington and he was on Ulster Boys and Juniors with Darren Clarke.
