The Masters – there’s no golf tournament like it. The first Major of the year is upon us and we give it the royal treatment from cover to cover in the April issue of Compleat Golfer.
Our cover feature quite rightly looks at the rich history of The Masters and South Africa’s close connection. It also contains some explosive comments from Richard Sterne, a player with three appearances at Augusta National, under his belt. You won’t want to miss out!
Our equipment section centres in on the most important club in the bag for those four days – the putter. We gave two readers the chance to experience a custom fitting and also got some tips from our playing editor, Louis Oosthuizen, and Sunshine Tour pros Justin Harding and Louis de Jager.
Oosthuizen also writes exclusively for Compleat Golfer, his column talks you through Augusta, Tiger’s return there and whether the distance debate plays a part at the hallowed course.
Bubba Watson, already a two-time winner this year, will arrive looking to add another Green Jacket to his collection. The left-hander has always done it his way with his story brought into focus this month. Another one to watch at Augusta is 2018 Joburg Open champion Shubhankar Sharma after the organizing committee offered him a rare invite after his breakthrough season. His intriguing journey is also highlighted.
In our latest big issue, the issue of prize fund inequality between the men’s and women’s tours is interrogated – a topic at the forefront of many for sure.
We haven’t forgotten about the Sunshine Tour though in all the Masters madness. Keenan Davidse and the above mentioned De Jager are given their place in a bumper issue that has all the usual columns, fitness, instruction and rules features to keep your game in shape.
Our celebrity this month is former Springbok wing Breyton Paulse with the evergreen Hermanus GC the featured Course of the Month.
