Gerry McIlroy came to my office at Sullivan Upper School to talk about future arrangements for his son, Rory, who was about 14 at the time.
Rory had been doing rather well at “the golf” up to then but further opportunities beckoned that meant, going forward, he was likely to be away from school for considerable periods of time.
