Mike Tindall Golf Classic
Amy Bockerstette appears to have no idea how much she inspires. Earlier this spring, the 22-year-old LPGA*USGA Girls Golf alumna from Phoenix, Arizona...
“Meeting Amy was brilliant,” Horan said. “She was just a bundle of joy is the phrase you'd use. We've flown her over from America, and she seems to be having a great time.
“She's just superstar, and the whole -- when she went viral the first time, it was outside of golf. She kind of broke the barrier of just a golf story. It was a real sporting moment. Hopefully we can make more memories for her this week.”
In 2019 when Amy made the par with Gary Woodland on the 16th hole at TPC, Niall responded on Twitter with, ‘I love this.’ So, Amy, being a huge Niall Horan fan, seized the moment,” Amy’s dad Joe Bockerstette said.
Amy’s mom, Jenny, then jumped in and finished the story. “She tweeted to Niall on her account and said, ‘Would you play golf with me sometime, I'm your biggest fan,’ or something like that. His fans happened to see that reply on Twitter and they kept going at him: ‘Niall, you've got to play with her, Niall, Niall,’ and they kept re-tweeting and forwarding this to him. And he responded with, ‘Yes, Amy, I would love to play golf with you sometime, I'm your biggest fan,’ or something like that. So, it's been two and a half years in the making.”
“He was supposed to do a U.S. Tour last year and we were hoping to see him on the Tour,” Joe said. “We had some plans in the works. He was coming through Phoenix so we likely would have seen him there. Then, of course, that got canceled in March. And this event (the 2020 ISPS Handa World Invitational) got canceled.
“In the spring, in May, Amy's college team went to nationals and she got quite a bit of media attention from that and Niall's partner, Mark McDonnell, reached out to me like the week after nationals and started the dialogue about possibly coming here. It took a lot of logistics and a lot of preparation and we didn't actually finalize plans for probably two weeks ago, probably. It was very last minute before things fell into place that she could come.
“And then a week ago Monday Niall surprised Amy on Zoom with the invitation to come.”
Amy beamed at the memory, just a week old and everything that has happened since. “I loved it,” she said. “I loved hitting my first tee shot at the opening. I had so much fun. Also, Niall was proud of me. It was fun.”

Harry was (sort of) confirmed to be playing Prince Eric in The Little Mermaid, and then quickly (sort of) unconfirmed, cue chaos, discourse, 'Prince Eric' trending on twitter, and jubilation and hair rending despair from various camps BUT THEN he was officially and finally confirmed (sort of) to NOT be playing the role! Directly after the post members of Harry's team posted cryptic related things (a mermaid, a Disney logo spoof) but shortly after that Variety, an actual reputable source of record for this sort of thing, published saying that he will not be playing the role and had in fact chosen to turn it down. They did not comment on whether he might take another role in the film: Flounder (and various mermaids) remain as yet uncast but I won't hold my breath.
We got more of the pap pics of Harry (and his bodyguards, both tall and [relatively speaking] smol) arriving in London; in these ones you can see that he's wearing a tote bag featuring the logo of LS, the production company who did the SOTT video, and that where the white sneakers he's been wearing all the time lately should have the Vans logo on the back they have what looks like little smiley faces... with Xs for eyes....
Niall said single at the end of September and album next year, first quarter of 2020s gonna be wild y'all. Wild Youth played the opening of the golf tournament tonight, and Niall did some press and was seen roaming around with his mom and his bodyguard for the night- it's 1D tour manager and beloved Thing 6 PAUL HIGGINS!! Awww hiiiii Paul!
Zayn tweeted to thank the fans for the Teen Choice vote, then posted the same official TCA pic to ig with a thank you message tacked on it carelessly, obscuring his face. The formality of the tweet initially had me thinking it was just a team member taking care of business but on reflection I absolutely think that was him and I adore his sloppy ass, bless this half assed obligation fulfillment, truly. They didn't even leave the story up for the whole 24 hours! Hilarious.
Team Louis otoh is going hard for the TCA award and appearance, with just about everyone from all his teams posting nice messages about it and articles everywhere... I am truly impressed with how much milage they're getting with so little Louis effort this last month, they're doing a great job of making it seem like he's everywhere and active while he continues to be, seemingly, mostly on break and BRAVO to that. 1883 chatted with fans about how great Louis is and said they'll be posting more Louis outtakes and continue to offer ever more of the pics as posters.
Liam commented on an Edward Enninful selfie, "oooo the cheekbones" with heart eyes and everything. Stack It Up is getting press focused on the Ed Sheeran collab element, and we're told that the video was shot in June and that the song will be out by the end of August!! Unless we see some action soon from Team Louis it looks like Liam's gonna be the first out the gate with the upcoming barrage of OT4 releases... Also he's got a thing in Men's Fashion Post but the quotes are all pretty boilerplate, nothing we haven't heard before and quite recently.
And if ALL THAT weren't enough we were snacked in the face OUT OF NOWHERE with baby boyband material from TWO (2) different people! John Urbano posted video bts throwback pics, an unseen from the Gotta Be You shoot and a familiar pic from the WMYB video, the one of Harry and the girl (Madison McMillin), with everyone else tagged too in it. All the other boys and the band are tagged in the empty sky space; Madison is tagged as Louis, lol. AND someone found footage of the boys singing in a gym from DAY ONE of the band! They sound ridiculously good already, Liam and Zayn getting in solid bits and Niall with a stunning standout solo- Louis and Harry don't get solos in the clip cause they're too busy batting their lashes at each other.
Niall at the ISPS Handa World Invitational at Galgorm Castle | August 13, 2019

“We're delighted to announce that our Co-Founding Patron The Duke of Sussex will take part in the Sentebale ISPS Handa Polo Cup at the Royal County of Berkshire Polo Club on Thursday 26th July.”
Thank you, Helen, for Sentebale, Polo, Berkshire, 2018
Niall Horan is finally back home in Ireland after two years away.
The Slow Hands singer spent most of lockdown in London and hasn’t been back to Mullingar since 2019.
The 27-year-old will be in Northern Ireland this week for the ISPS HANDA World Invitational, presented by Modest! Golf Management, at the Galgorm Spa & Golf Resort and Massereene Golf Club.
He told Showbiz Life: “There’s been so many people who have been separated from family and friends over the past 18 months. I just can’t wait to get back and see everyone. It’s been way too long and I’ve really missed Ireland.
“I drink Guinness and I get stuff sent from home, but it’s just not the same.
“I just can’t wait to look out the plane window, see all that green and know I’m back.
“Obviously, the sport and entertainment industries have been hit so hard by the pandemic.
“To be at a sporting event in person with crowds at the Galgorm to watch some amazing golf and hopefully play some good golf feels like a dream come true.”
Niall, who launched his golf management company with pal MARK MCDONNELL five years ago, has seen the firm go from strength to strength, signing up players such as CONNOR SYME, ANGEL YIN, RICHARD MANSELL and OLIVIA COWAN, all of whom will be competing at the event.
Modest! Golf Management has been involved with the local scene for four years.
The $3m invitational has two tournaments, with 144 men and 144 women competing on the same courses at the same time for two equal prize funds of $1.5million in the event, the first of its kind in the northern hemisphere.
It is sanctioned by the European Tour, the LPGA Tour and the Ladies’ European Tour and is one of the most innovative events around.
“I’m aware I have a large female following and I feel a responsibility to support women and try and make things a bit more equal,” Niall said.
“We are proud to have created this opportunity for women to play for the same money as their male counterparts.
“We look after female golfers and we want to inspire more girls to get into the game. This helps to level the playing field.”
The event will also recognise all the hard work and effort put in by key workers during the pandemic by offering a number of complimentary tickets.
The Galgorm donated £750,000 worth of experiences to frontline NHS workers last year.
These included overnight stays and spa treatments, all in recognition of all the hard work carried out by Northern Health and Social Care Trust staff.
“Key workers are the heroes of the pandemic,” Niall said.
“They more than deserve a day out to enjoy themselves.
“This is just a very small way of saying thanks for all that they’ve done.”
