Greetings from Abu Dhabi where myself and Jeremy Ellwood are camped for the next week or so. Stay online for breaking news and details of what we have lined up for you in the coming issues.

Don't forget that you can follow Golf Monthly on Twitter, we are @GolfMonthly. There's a real buzz around the place and with Padraig Harrington firing and opening round of 65, we're set up well for an exciting weekend of golf.

It's a busy fews days so these drinks carts are proving very popular on the course.

Earlier this week we caught up with Paul Casey and Edoardo Molinari. The former was in a confident mood, as he normally is, but then he has won this event twice already. 

We're also here with photographer Kevin Murray to get some instruction shots with the players and we're sure you'll reap the benefits over the coming months.

Stay online for March issue news. The guys in the office have news of a fantastic competition coming up and there's more on the Golf Monthly Centenary Society. 

Enjoy the golf and we'll have more updates soon.

Where next?

Editor

In July 2023, Neil became just the 9th editor in Golf Monthly's 112-year history. Originally working with the best coaches in the UK to produce instruction content, he has also presented many Golf Monthly videos looking at all areas of the game from Tour player interviews to the rules of golf. 

Throughout his time with the brand he has also covered equipment launches that date back well over a decade. He clearly remembers the launch of the Callaway and Nike square drivers as well as the white TaylorMade driver families, such as the RocketBallz! If you take a look at the Golf Monthly YouTube channel, you'll see his equipment videos dating back over a decade! He has also conducted 'What's In The Bag' interviews with many of the game's best players like Rory McIlroy, Dustin Johnson and Jon Rahm. Over the years, Neil has tested a vast array of products in each category and at drastically different price-points. 

Neil is currently playing: Driver: TaylorMade Stealth Plus Fairway Wood: Titleist TSR2 Hybrid: Titleist TS3 Irons: PING Blueprint S (4&5), PING Blueprint T (6-PW) Wedges: Titleist Vokey SM7 50˚, 54˚, 60˚ Putter: Odyssey Triple Track Ten Ball: Titleist Pro V1X
