A glove worn by President Clinton when he golfed at Ireland's famous Ballybunion course on Saturday has turned into a moneymaker for a Dublin's children hospital.

The glove, autographed by the president, fetched $9,000 Tuesday for Tallaght Hospital. And the glove's new owner said he now plans to rent it out to be worn at golf outings to raise even more money for the hospital."We are putting the glove to work," said bar owner Louis Fitzgerald, who bought it at a radio auction.

Clinton gave the glove to the wife of Ireland's finance minister. She donated it to be auctioned.
