What’s inside the new issue of Today’s Golfer…

How to play golf’s scariest shots!

Why does our game fall apart when we’re faced with a frightening shot? Whether it’s a tee shot with a tight out-of-bounds, an approach to a green surrounded by water or a chip from a bare lie, we’ve all been guilty of producing the exact bad shot we were trying to avoid.

In this issue’s cover feature TrackMan Master Chris Brook explains why the problem is as much physical as it is mental, why our range swing isn’t our on-course swing and provides the answers to help overcome our golfing fears.

Golf World Top 100 Courses in the World… that you can play!

It was our most vast and daunting ranking challenge, yet, but this is the definitive list of the World’s Top 100 golf courses!

But don’t expect to see the likes Augusta National, Pine Valley, Morfontaine or Loch Lomond – for this ranking we were only interested in golf courses where the public can actually get a tee time.

There are courses from all corners of the globe, including a lot from our own shores, and a wonderful mix of the traditional and modern. But which layout will scoop the coveted No.1 spot and how many have you played?

Former European Tour pro Peter Dawson has written a book ‘And Now For The Back Nine’ to help golfers do just that and here he shares five key distance lessons to help us all keep enjoying our golf for longer.
