Sporting Masters Golf Day - Royal Belfast Golf Club - short video version
Former British Open winner Darren Clarke and Ulster rugby star Paddy Wallace have hosted a Sporting Masters Golf Day at Royal Belfast Golf Club.
The event raised funds for two charities - the Darren Clarke Foundation (which raises funds for cancer research) and Irish Autism Action.
Also lending support and playing on the day were Boyzone star Keith Duffy (patron of Irish Autism Action), Irish rugby legend Brian O'Driscoll and Mrs Brown's Boys star Paddy Houlihan.
Darren said: We are lucky we're having a great day with some fantastic weather - and hopefully we can raise a few pounds for the two charities.
Paddy added: I'm not feeling very confident about my own golf - but the turn-out has been great, with plenty of support from south of the border.
Boyzone star Keith Duffy - a patron of Irish Autism Action - has been involved with the charity for 12 years.
I have a little girl with autism and we have been working very hard to create the appropriate intervention and education for children with autism.
I'm delighted to be here and it's great to see all the support, he said.

Interesting Landmarks
• Belvoir Motte
The Belvoir motte dates back to the Norman era when John de Courcy invaded Ulster and established settlements at Dundrum and Carrickfergus. The motes were set up as defense against the southern approaches to Carrickfergus.
• Woodland
The Belvoir Park Forest is home to almost thirty-five species of birds, including common resident species, such as blackbird, song thrush, robin and woodpigeon and more unusual species such as jay and long-eared owl.
• Medieval Graveyard
A private graveyard is located within the Park and has been in there since the 14th century. Currently, it holds the empty tomb of the Dungannon family.
• Arboretum
The previous estate owners, the Dungannons and Batesons, planted many trees in park. Thanks to them, there are now numerous mature specimens of trees, such as redwood and cedar.
History of Belvoir Park Belfast
The Hill family settled at Belvoir in the early 18th century and built a large house that stood on the site of the current car park. In the 19th century, the Hill family sold the estate to the Batesons, whose son became Lord Deramore in 1885. The Deramores returned to England at the end of the 19th century and leased the estate to Walter H Wilson, a partner with Harland and Wolff. The last private tenant at Belvoir was Sir James Johnston, who was the Lord Mayor of Belfast in 1917-18.
“Belvoir’s trees are living landmarks, home to thousands of species of plants and animals, yet sadly lacking the recognition they deserve”, says Nikki Williams, Ancient Tree Hunt project manager. She also adds that “anyone can visit the web site and add their discoveries. Identifying their whereabouts is an important first step in securing their future - both for the benefit of wildlife and for the enjoyment of generations to come... We want to give as many people as possible in Northern Ireland the chance to get to grips with our remarkable old trees, and Belvoir Park Forest provides the perfect venue. With its extensive parkland and woodland, Belvoir is home to an impressive number of veteran trees which have seen centuries come and go. This event is brimming with activity. It’s a chance to learn how to identify and record our ancient trees, and it’s also an opportunity to simply enjoy the beauty of woodland. We have a creative agenda in store for kids as well, so there’s something for all the family.”
Definitely worth visiting Belvoir Forest - there are not too many forests of this size and diversity in Belfast.

The annual Oscar Knox charity golf competition teed off with a host of sporting stars taking part in the annual charity fundraiser.
Among those taking part is Belfast two-weight world champion boxer Carl Frampton along with fellow boxers Paddy Barnes and Michael Conlan.
Frampton auctioned off a chance for three lucky golfers to play alongside him on the day in a four ball.
Carl Frampton was among Oscar's biggest supporters and he has joined forces with the event to make it even more special.
Also starting at the tournament at Fortwilliam Golf Club in Belfast are snooker player Mark Allen and golfing wonder-kid Tom McKibben.
The annual golf tournament is in memory of Oscar Knox, the little boy from Mallusk, Co Antrim, who captured the hearts of people around the world as he fought a rare form of cancer.
Oscar died two years ago after a brave battle against high-risk neuroblastoma - a rare and aggressive childhood cancer.

He was diagnosed in November 2011 and his parents Stephen and Leona went public in a bid to raise awareness and funds for Oscar's care.
