McGinley redesign shows off his fun side

It would be an exaggeration to say that Paul McGinley’s course design style is based on ‘Little Old Lady Theory’ but it’s not too far from the truth.

After a decade that has brought us a host of massively difficult trophy venues that would tax even Rory McIlroy on a good day, the 47-year-old Dubliner’s philosophy reflects the kind of attention to detail that made him such a huge success as a Ryder Cup captain.

Knowing yourself is one thing, but knowing your client and their clientele is even more important in a business which looks likely to occupy more of McGinley’s time over the next few years.
