Golf's Greatest Holes - Series One (Ireland & Northern Ireland)
We are proud to have been selected as the headline sponsor of an exciting new TV Series Golf's Greatest Holes.
Starring former Ryder Cup Captain Paul McGinley and popular TV presenter Chris Hollins, Series One sees the pair travel across Ireland and Northern Ireland playing some of the world’s most spectacular golf holes.
Motocaddy x GGH - Why the perfect partnership?
It's simple. A Motocaddy trolley is proven to make golf more enjoyable, so there's no better way to play Golf's Greatest Holes than with a Motocaddy trolley by your side.
The story behind the show
It’s a conversation we all have in the clubhouse. “Where is your favourite course? Which is your favourite hole?” But it just so happened that this conversation was at Wentworth with former Ryder Cup captain Paul McGinley. He’s played all over the world in some of the biggest tournaments and designed a few courses too. So, he should know!
So, he started plotting this golfing expedition and we had anywhere in the world to begin our journey but just like his career he wanted to start in the island of Ireland. And what a journey it turned out to be. From the most northern spot of the island of Ireland, Donegal, south to Kinsale, as far west as Belmullet and East as Downpatrick.
