Motocaddy has renewed its partnership with the acclaimed Golf’s Greatest Holes TV show for a new Series focused on all 18 holes at Royal Portrush ahead of The Open Championship returning in July.
The partnership dates back three years to the original Series filmed across the island of Ireland and included the second Series that featured spectacular holes at courses in Portugal last year. ‘The Open Special’ Series is the first to feature every hole on a single course and is set to be viewed in more than 180 countries, including USA, China and Australia.
The latest award-winning Motocaddy electric trolley models – including the M5 GPS and M1 DHC - will used by co-presenters Paul McGinley and Chris Hollins during the six-part Series, filmed using 4k super high-definition cameras and drones on the iconic Dunluce Links. The first episode of the new Series premieres on Sky Sports on Tuesday 28th January, at 18.00 GMT.
The winning 2016 Ryder Cup Captain and 7-handicap TV presenter will be joined on different holes by high-profile Irish players, including Darren Clarke, a local favourite, 2011 Champion Golfer, and Honorary Club Member, alongside Portrush resident, actor, and avid golfer James Nesbitt. Together, they explore selected holes on the spectacular course, blending golf mastery with renowned local charm.
The M5 GPS combines Motocaddy’s cutting-edge touchscreen GPS technology with a sleek automotive-inspired design with a host of market-leading features, including the revolutionary CLICK ‘N’ CONNECT® cable-free Lithium battery technology that integrates into the stylish design seamlessly.
The lightweight battery incorporates a patented auto-disconnect technology that automatically powers off the trolley when folded, plus a revolutionary pop-up port for quick and easy charging – innovative functions exclusive to Motocaddy.
Additional features include game-enhancing full hole mapping through the responsive 3.5” touchscreen display to provide distances to the green, essential hazard information and the ability to dynamically move the target position for more accurate shot planning at over 40,000 courses across the world.
