A message from the editor, Neil Tappin:

I’m currently sitting in the media centre at the 151st Open Championship at Hoylake and writing these words to kick-off my first editor’s letter is a truly surreal feeling. I’ve played the game ever since I was able to stand upright (with varying degrees of success), followed those competing at the highest level over the last 30 years and worked for Golf Monthly since 2004. Now I have the humbling honour of becoming just its ninth editor in 112 years.

From the very start, when two-time Open Champion Harold Hilton introduced the first issue of Golf Monthly in April 1911, the basic intention was to produce a publication by golfers, for golfers. Of course, the world in 2023 is a very different place, and while the ways and means may have changed dramatically, I’m glad to say the original vision remains largely untouched. As the current incumbent, and with a brilliant team of writers and content producers to rely on, I’m looking forward to adding my own interpretation to the original brief. 

Regardless of whether you’re new to Golf Monthly or a regular subscriber, it’s a pleasure to have you on board. In difficult economic times, we don’t take your support lightly. We’ll do our best to continue informing and entertaining anyone with a passion for the game. Below we pick out some of the highlights from the latest issue, which is out now...
