Compleat Golfer is the newest acquisition to the HSM sports stable. Launched in 1989, it is now under the HSM umbrella. The popular monthly golf magazine was given a 'complete' makeover in design and a refreshing new content direction. Louis Oosthuizen, South Africa's Major champion, is its Playing Editor and each month he provides instruction and a column. The product is packed with information and retains favourite elements like Course of the Month, Grant Hepburn as a professional swing instructor and Garth Milne for fitness, while PGA Rules guru Theo Manyama has joined the team.

Compleat Golfer was launched in 1989 but was re-launched by Highbury Media in January 2016. 
Headed up by editorial sports director Gary Lemke, it includes Major champion Louis Oosthuizen as its 
Playing Editor. The magazine is also official media partners to Els for Autism, Ernie Els’ campaign.
