A message from the editor, Neil Tappin:
If you live in the UK and play year-round golf, you have little choice at times but to roll up your sleeves, slip on your best waterproofs and get on with it.
Whether you’re a carry-on-regardless golfer or a wait-for-spring type of player, our January issue of Golf Monthly has something for you. For the former, I suggest making a beeline for page 68 and Top 50 Coach Adam Harnett’s tips and tricks for scoring well in difficult, winter conditions. From adding some extra carry distance off the tee to chipping off muddy lies, the technical adjustments he deftly explains should boost your cold weather scoring potential.
For the latter group, we have plenty of inspiration to whet the appetite. From upcoming gear launches from the likes of Cobra and Odyssey to suggestions of where next to play from our excellent courses writers, there’s plenty to inspire a bumper golfing 2025.
See below for more highlights from the issue...
