00:00Hello, can you tell us who you are and where you're from?

00:03I'm Larry Hominick, nickname Lockport Larry.

00:06My family's famous for golf, I'm more famous for hockey.

00:10And where are you from?

00:11Originally Winnipeg. I live in Calgary, Canada right now.

00:14And how did you get here? What was your flight route?

00:17My flight route was Calgary, Toronto, Toronto, Edinburgh.

00:21Eight hours in Edinburgh, did the stairs of the castle.

00:24I couldn't get in because it was sold out.

00:26And then came here, came to Belfast, and then I don't even know how we drove

00:31because there's a lot of round clothes.

00:34Are you here all week?

00:36No, Friday we're flying to Liverpool because apparently we want to golf.

00:39We can't golf here, too much corporate money.

00:42And we're going to Liverpool to golf for four days in Liverpool,

00:45and we're going to be done by noon every day and watch the open in the public.

00:49And what have you made of the people of Northern Ireland?

00:52I can tell that there's a reason I'm Irish.

00:56It's my ancestry. I'm half Ukrainian, half Irish.

00:59And who do you think will win the Open?

01:01I hope Tommy Fleetwood.

01:03But if it stays like this, I know it's supposed to rain tomorrow,

01:08but I'm not anti-Sheffler.

01:11I'm not anti-Sheffler, but if you want to say if I had to put money on it,

01:18I would love to see Lowry and McElroy and Fleetwood.

01:23If you want to know who's going to win, probably Sheffler.

01:27And why no Canadian? Why not Nick Taylor?

01:30Nick Taylor, I've got a story about Nick Taylor.

01:33What's going on?

01:34My uncle is 90 now, and Nick Taylor won the Canadian Open at Oakdale.

01:40My uncle's a pro there.

01:42My last name is Hominick.

01:44And there's three nines there.

01:47One nine is called a Hominick nine.

01:49Anyways, my uncle said they're finally having the tournament in Canada at my course.

01:54So my uncle, he likes to tell him now the story that he was 88 at the time.

01:59He lifted the curse.

02:00And Nick Taylor made the fight.

02:02I was there.

02:03My uncle had the opening tee shot up for the Canadian Open.

02:05And I was there to watch it.

02:07And he likes to say that if they would have let me hit the opening tee shot out in 1977,

02:11there would have been a Canadian one then.

02:13Maybe not me, but they could have lifted it earlier.

02:16This is a story that's 90 now.

02:17And final question for me, have you tried a Guinness yet?

02:20I've had three Guinness.

02:22I don't like Guinness.

02:23I had three Guinness in Belfast at the Guinness Quarter.

02:26And oh my God, they're good.
