The inspiration for the book came to me through the images that I commissioned as Captain of the Ryder Cup 2014. These were blown up larger than life and were exhibited and utilised in my team meetings when addressing the players.

Paul has successfully made the transition from the golf course to the boardroom
He understands what it takes to be both a successful professional athlete, as well as a winning captain and leader. These experiences have allowed Paul to advise his business partners to understand how best to develop a winning strategy based on the most competitive of environments – professional sport.
David Williams Chairman, European Tour
“I was delighted when Paul agreed to join the Board of the European Tour. He brings with him a contemporary golfing experience but, more than that, he is interested in both the Strategy and the Business of Golf. The European Tour is going through a period of significant change and Paul adds value both as an individual and through his unique experience.”

Paul McGinley Golf Course Design was founded in 2005. The keystone of the company is to deliver golf courses based on Paul McGinley’s design philosophy which is based on the classic strategic mode of H. S. Colt and Donald Ross course styles.
“Developing a golf course and associated facilities is intensive work. I like to look carefully at your vision and goals and using by my creative and unique approach, I will identify, bring emotion and personality to your golf course. My mission is to design traditional, skilful and golfers focused courses and I insure this through the balance, flow and playability of the golf course and retaining the golfers engagement throughout the round.
I believe in designing golf courses that give a deeper understanding of the traditions of the game and that will build a relationship with you as it’s custodians.” – Paul McGinley
