THE GREAT GREEN FEE GIVEAWAY

IN THIS ISSUE

	ROOM WITH A VIEW Golf is all about enjoying the countryside and the scenery while playing your round. But there’s a property which has just gone on sale at St Andrews which would allow you to enjoy some stunning views from the comfort of your armchair. The 3-bed property overlooks the 18th green and first tee of The Old Course. The asking price is £1.75million, but you would always have plenty of visitors!
	NEW SHOTS YOU SHOULD TRY Sticking to the same old repertoire of shots may not always help take your game to the next level. Discover some new ways to play and you could soon be setting yourself some new record rounds. Hitting a driver off the deck is just one of the 13 ways you could challenge yourself in a quest for better scores. Golf is all about having the creativity and vision to execute a range of shots and this feature will open up a whole new approach.
	PRETTY AMAZING Golf is not just about the great shots that are hit – or not! A decent round of golf can be made up of a whole host of factors… not least the views and general setting. Here, we celebrate some of the most striking views in golf. As well as the favourites, such as Turnberry, you’ll also discover some hidden gems that you can play for not a lot of money. Pack your binoculars!
	MAJOR HELP WITH HYBRIDS Former US Open winner YE Yang knows a thing or two about hitting a hybrid a long way and on-target. He takes time out here from his hectic schedule on the PGA Tour to give some insightful tips and hints on how to hit a hybrid cleanly and consistently. He even gives a few drills on how you can alter the trajectory of your hybrid shots.
	2012 GEAR REVEALED Golf equipment for next year is already starting to break cover and MD Golf has revealed its range of woods and irons for next year. The Irish brand has made a name for itself by offering good quality clubs at reasonable prices and next year looks like being another huge success for the company!
	SEE THE WOODS FOR THE TREES Fairway woods have a lot to offer golfers of all abilities. Whether it’s to hit from the tee or from the fairway, 3 or 5-woods can offer a great deal in terms of distance and accuracy. And with advances in technology they are easier to hit a long way. We called on golfers from scratch to 21 to put the latest and greatest fairway woods to the test. See who came out on top…
	HIGH CLASS, LOW COST The hugely popular 2-FORE!-1 green fee scheme does make some usually expensive courses far more affordable and this month we have highlighted some classy venues that accept the money-saving vouchers. Make the most of your vouchers and make some great savings at these top-notch tracks…
	THE COURSES JACK BUILT Jack Nicklaus was a great golfer. And he’s a pretty handy golf course designer as well! If you want top value and great weather then head to Murcia. Here, you find four of Jack Nicklaus’ creations with Polaris World as well as a whole host of other challenging and tempting layouts. Getting to this part of Spain is easy and relatively cheap too!
