Last updated:
The accuracy issue: Whether it’s getting fitted for the right clubs, practicing the perfect drills or taking tips from legends of the game – it’s all right here in the latest issue of TG
Lets face it, every single one of us would love to be more accurate. Whether it’s hitting more fairways, boosting that greens in regulation percentage or being able to lag putts to tap in distance more often – we’ve all got something in our game that needs a little bit of attention.
Hitting fairways and greens is the bedrock of a solid score; you’ll never score well if you’re constantly chipping out of the trees or trying to get up and down for par. That’s precisely why (with a little helpful advice from Rickie Fowler and TG’s top 50 coaches) this month’s issue of TG focuses on helping you with your accuracy.
But that’s not all! From seeing the UK’s tallest man get fitted for record-breaking golf equipment and talking golf with the Harry Potter Weasley twins (Chris and Oliver Phelps), there’s plenty of reasons to be picking up our latest issue.

Rickie Fowler Exclusive
He’s one of the leaders in much of the PGA Tour stats this year, so who better to come to advice to than Rickie Fowler? We caught up with him at the Scottish Open, where he gave shared with us some brilliant tips on how to be more accurate with your iron play and decide those percentage plays.
Fitting the UK’s tallest man
Standing at 7ft 7, you might be surprised to hear that Paul Sturgess is pretty good at golf. In fact, the former Harlem Globe Trotter and soon to be Hollywood actor plays off single figures – but he’s always had a normal sized set of golf clubs. We went down to Ping HQ to find out a little more about him as he got fitted for a brand new set of clubs – that even broke a record!
Easier ways to hit more fairways and greens
Our TG Top 50 coach Scott Cranfield talks you through an eight step guide to becoming more accurate in hitting your target. From improving your clubhead stability at impact to working on distance control – there’s plenty of advice to help you hit far more fairways and greens.

Driver Test: Ping G400 vs TaylorMade M2 vs Callaway Epic
Ping’s G400 driver has gone down a storm both on tour and with regular golfers, and it’s no surprise given that it is more aerodynamic than ever and sounds better than a Ping driver has for years. But how does it compare with two of the best-selling clubs of 2017 (and the two longest drivers we’ve hit?). We put the Ping G400 up against the TaylorMade M2 and the Callaway Epic Sub Zero.
