On the cover of this month’s issue, Brandon Stone lets us into his world to take stock of his meteoric rise, and highlight the influence that his father plays in his career.
The year has absolutely flown by, as the last Major of the year, the US PGA Championship, takes centre stage. We investigate the numbers behind the fourth Major, SA’s history at the event, and remember five shock winners. One player who could be there late on Sunday is multiple PGA TOUR winner Justin Thomas – who has done almost everything in the game but win the one that really counts.
Remember John Daly‘s 1991 win at the PGA Championship? We revisit the story of his first Major win.
Also in August is the Women’s British Open – with fireworks expected as West meets East’s Kingsbarns Golf Links. We look into the dominance of Asian golfers and review the state of the game.
Caddies are often overlooked as just another tool in the box, but we explore the role of the best in the business and just how important they are in the professional era.
Gowrie Farm Golf Course in the Kwazulu-Natal Midlands is our Course of the Month, and is well worth the visit if you are looking for something out of the ordinary.
The regular instruction, opinion, fitness and rules features keep their place, where former Proteas spinner Pat Symcox tells us about his hole-in-one, and the 19th hole.
All this and more, in your August issue of Compleat Golfer, now on sale for just R34.90!
