Irish players progress at Amateur Championshops
Three Irish players have guaranteed their place in the knockout rounds of the Amateur Championship. Gavin Tiernan (Co Louth) was best of the Irish qualifers, finishing tied for 6th on six under after the second round of strokeplay at Royal St George's and Royal Cinque Ports. Joshua Hill (Galgorm Castle) tied for 21st on four under and recent Irish Amateur Open champion Stuart Grehan (Co Louth) tied for 35th at three under overall. There were 24 players tied for 60th on 1 under after the two rounds, including Keith Egan (Carton House). They will return for a Wednesday morning play-off to decide the make up of the last 64. The leading qualifier at The 130th Amateur Championship for the second time running was young Scotland star Connor Graham on nine-under. Jack Murphy (Douglas) was among those disappointed to miss the cut. Murphy opened with a two-under 68 at Royal St George's, where Darren Clarke won the Open in 2011, but slumped to a six-over 78 at nearby Royal Cinque Ports to miss the cut. Recent East of Ireland champion David Howard (Fota island) also missed out.

Dairy Haven refuses to accept ‘sweaty' money
CASEYVILLE, ILL. – With the summer heat rolling around, local ice cream shop Dairy Haven took to social media this morning to warn customers of their standing cash-handling policy. In a Facebook post, Dairy Haven manager Joshua Hill wrote, 'If money is seen being pulled from anywhere other than a pocket, wallet, purse, satchel, murse… and pulled from a sweaty body area WE WILL REFUSE IT!!' According to the Federal Reserves, private businesses are allowed to refuse cash payment unless state says otherwise As a cash-only business, Dairy Haven has run into this issue more frequently, particularly during the warmer months. According to Hill, the problem goes beyond minor inconvenience. 'It has gotten to a point where people are pulling money out of their sweaty armpits and the thought of handing that back to other customers is just unsanitary,' Hill said. Pope Leo XIV's former St. Louis residence is on the market for $1.8M A New York University research study found that a dollar bill can harbor about 3,000 microbes, including fungi, bacteria and pathogens. While there is currently no signage displaying this policy, Hill said that he relies on what he considers to be 'general courtesy and morality.' However, if the issue continues, signs may be posted to avoid further confusion or conflict. Despite some public feedback suggesting a move to digital payment could solve the problem, Hill said Dairy Haven has no intention of going cashless, with tradition and maintaining low prices as their reason for maintaining their long-standing system. Hill advises that customers who arrive unprepared, an ATM is located just across the street. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
