Ken Doherty pays JP McManus the ultimate compliment after visit to Adare Manor

Ken Doherty paid JP McManus the ultimate compliment after he visited the plush Adare Manor resort this week to play some golf.

The former World Snooker Champion is an avid golfer and has previously competed in McManus' Charity Pro-Am event.

And the Dubliner was so impressed by the Championship course that he shared a video on his social media.

Taking to Twitter, Doherty shared a video as he walked down the 18th fairway.

He said in the video: "Look at this, the 18th hole at Adare Manor isn't that absolutely stunning. Beautiful day as well. So lucky. Only in Ireland. A beautiful place. I'd never get tired of playing this course."

The Limerick venue will play host for the 2027 Ryder Cup and was recently renovated and reopened in 2018.

McManus recruited Augusta National's consulting architect Tom Fazio for the redesign and hosted his charity pro-am at the venue last year.

The 2024 and 2026 Irish Open venues have not yet been announced and Adare Manor is among the contenders to stage the event, acting as a dress rehearsal for the Ryder Cup.
