"One afternoon a few years back, we found ourselves, via a mutual acquaintance, in a friendly fourball with Keith Andrews in Portmarnock (no, not the real one)."
"At the time, this was neither the egregious name drop nor the claim to fame it presumably comes across as. Andrews had had a slot on Newstalk a couple of years previous. He moved in the same circles as some Irish media types back then."
A few years ago a friendly fourball took place in Portmarnock involving the narrator and Keith Andrews, arranged through a mutual acquaintance. The Portmarnock referenced is not the genuine Portmarnock. The encounter was presented as casual rather than an egregious name drop or claim to fame. Keith Andrews had previously hosted a slot on Newstalk a couple of years earlier. Andrews moved in the same social circles as various Irish media figures during that period. The meeting functioned as a social round of golf reflecting existing media connections.
