A message from the editor, Neil Tappin:
As I’m sure you’re only too well aware, the British weather has served up a rather stop-start summer so far. Unreliable would be the politest way to put it and, of course, time marches on as mercilessly as ever. We already find ourselves in or approaching August 2024 depending on when you read this.
For me, there are two distinct parts of the golfing season. I’m either just happy to be able to get out, play and enjoy the fresh air, or I’m trying to compete, play well and ultimately get my handicap down. Right now, it’s the latter.
For those in the same frame of mind, we have a 28-page instruction supplement with this issue that’s a must-read. We’ve teamed up with Golf Monthly Top 50 Coach Ged Walters and British golf club manufacturer Benross to provide you with some practical, tee-to-green advice. Ged is an expert at breaking down complex moves and making them easy to understand and implement. His tips are designed to help you score better as the season progresses.
In the magazine itself, we have devoted ten pages to the man of the moment, Bryson DeChambeau. Unashamedly, the reason we’ve done this is in celebration of one of the game’s most interesting and engaging characters.
Take a look below for more highlights from the current issue...
