There is no-one in Ireland more excited about golf in the Olympics than Padraig Harrington. The long-time advocate for getting the sport to the world games must have been hurt by the numerous withdrawal from events in Rio - but it has afforded the most passionate man in the sport a place in the games that he covets.
The Olympics will get underway in exactly two weeks time, with the golf not starting until the following Thursday - but Harrington's Team Ireland gear is here, and it's looking sharp:

It's a lot more catching that normal golf bags, that's for sure. There is plenty to like about the bag, and plenty to not like - but it will also be interesting to see the Ryder Cup style gear they'll have to actually wear for the event.
