Big Names Continue to Support NGM
Paul McGinley, who capped a triumphant 2014 by winning Coach of the Year at the BBC Sports Personality of the Year awards on Sunday, is now the National Golf Month men’s face of professional golf – joining top lady professional Charlie Hull.
Paul said: “I am delighted to be supporting National Golf Month, May 2015. Golf faces many challenges in these times as competition with other sport and social activities intensifies. Golf is a game that has given me, and my family, great pleasure, health benefits and opportunities to meet some amazing people. I would encourage everybody to get behind this project as we endeavour to see more people enjoy the great benefits and fun that this game has to offer.”
