Golf Digest Middle East - April 2017

I dette nummeret

The piano theme tune, the (hopefully) blooming Azaleas, epic escapes from the pine-straw, Rae’s Creek, mythical Butler Cabin and hopeless happy “patrons” everywhere. Yes it’s April. Glorious April. Welcome to our Masters preview edition, headlined by a candid and sometimes catty 14-page “Who can win, who can’t and why” preview, a fascinating inside the ropes (and locker room) take on the first major of the year. Or, in other words, players dish on their peers and Augusta National in piece sure to enhance your viewing pleasure. Tap into former champ Phil Mickelson’s new driver secrets, green jacket hopeful Justin Thomas’ “Post a Number” insights and tips from Nicklaus, Harmon and Tiger’s coach Chris Como. Locally we get inside the head of inaugural Sharjah Senior Golf Masters’ champion Chris Williams and talk to the local hero of the inaugural Long Drive World Series. There’s also a great chipping tip from PGA teaching pro Cennydd Mills at Dubai Creek Golf & Yacht Club and on-going coverage of the 2017 Golf Digest Hot List with this month’s focus on game improvement and players irons.
