The film looks at the ways in which The R&A has supported a project to develop golf in Ghana, led by 2014 European Ryder Cup Captain Paul McGinley.

Matthew Fitzpatrick gives an interview about his excellent year in winning the Silver Medal at The Open, the US Amateur and the McCormack Medal as the leading men’s amateur player in the World Amateur Golf Ranking.
