Paul McGinley 'proud to be Irish' after filming series on the greatest golf holes in Ireland

The former Ryder Cup captain has filmed a new series, 'Golf's Greatest Holes Ireland & Northern Ireland', with broadcaster Chris Hollins.

The 14th at County Louth features on episode three of ‘Golf’s Greatest Holes, Ireland & Northern Ireland’, a series that takes viewers on a golfing journey across the island and which is set to reach 500m households in 189 countries.

If Paul McGinley were a stick of rock, he would surely have a band of green, white and orange running down his centre, so patriotic is he about his homeland.

Like so many Irish emigrants, he pines for home, and his love of country comes flooding back every time he sets foot on the old sod.
