Webb Simpson’s imperious display at The Players earns him the cover of the June issue which is filled with the best local content and of course, a look ahead to the US Open at Shinnecock Hills.
Simpson ran away with proceedings at TPC Sawgrass as he re-launched his career at one of the most prestigious tournaments on the calendar. We look into his big win and what lies ahead. Other players in focus this month are new world number one Justin Thomas, Lydia Ko, Sunshine Tour achiever Justin Harding and JJ Senekal.
We also chat to Nick Price in an exclusive interview following the Zimbabwean’s appointment to the executive of the USGA.
Our topical Big Issue series once again delves into the controversies, this time the dilemma of money and morality in pro sport is in question while custom fitting and irons are our equipment highlight for June.
The regulars like the latest update from the Els for Autism golf day series, Ryan Cairns’ road trip, columns from Gary Lemke and Andy Capostagno, fitness, instruction and rules all keep their place with Port Shepstone Country Club our Course of the Month.
Our celebrity this month is former Bafana Bafana and Kaizer Chiefs defender Jimmy Tau, who talks us through his rude awakening to the game and getting better with time.
One of South Africa’s greatest golf characters, Tertius Claasens, recently passed away and we asked Dale Hayes to pen a tribute to his friend.
