Let's make this birthday one to remember.

56 years old (Born on August 14, 1968)

Happy Birthday, Darren Clarke! You're proof that golf isn't just about birdies and bogeys—it's also about resilience, heart, and occasionally celebrating with a pint or two. Your unforgettable victory at the 2011 Open Championship reminded us all why you're one of golf's most beloved figures; turning adversity into triumph is your specialty.

Through life's bunkers and fairways alike, you've shown grace under pressure—and always kept smiling along the way. May this birthday bring you fewer sand traps, more hole-in-ones (or at least good stories), and plenty of laughs both on and off the course. Cheers to you!
