Golf Digest Middle East Magazine - September 2020

In this issue

The 120th U.S. Open will be like no other. Sans fans due to the coronavirus pandemic, Winged Foot is still set to shine. We’ve got the story of Gil Hanse’s faithful restoration of A.W. Tillinghast’s classic design in Mamaroneck, New York in our bumper preview issue. Being Rory McIlroy isn’t bad, nor is it easy as we discover in our cover story where the former world No.1 is rethinking his approach to golf and life. Locally, Emirati lefty Ahmed Skaik talks about the slice of history he will create in the upcoming Dubai Trophy, Jamie McConnell helps you tame the toughest hole at The Els Club Dubai in the latest instalment of our Be at 1 series tackling the region’s stroke index 1 holes and we explore what’s next for the European Tour in the Middle East. There’s tips from the game’s biggest names and an insight into eating clean and lean to improve your game from within. We also talk to “Golfers from the Front Line” of the pandemic on how the game is helping them get through. All this and much more in the Sept. 2020 issue of Golf Digest Middle East.
