In the new issue of Golf Monthly, we team up with Top 50 Coach Peter Finch to give advice on the eight shots that golfers struggle with the most. We also hear from tour stars Min Woo Lee and Laurie Canter, review all the month’s new gear releases and look at the history of handicapping to see how the current system matches up.
If that’s not enough, we feature a green-reading masterclass and ask Richie Ramsay for his favourite tips and drills. On top of all that we have our usual equipment, rules and courses sections so you can get the most from your game as we head into the second half of the season.
