Golf Digest Middle East - December 2018

I denne utgaven

The Middle East is home to some of the best golf on the planet and boasts practice facilities to match, ranges the envy of serious golfers the world over. There's a reason so many tour pros hone their games in the desert and now amateurs, locals and visitors alike, have access to another coach to the stars. We go one-on-one with David Leadbetter at the opening of his academy at Dubai's iconic JA the Resort Golf Course at Jebel Ali and share game-improvement tips from more of the game's biggest names including Butch Harmon. Rookie Thorbjorn Olesen spills the beans on his bitter-sweet Ryder Cup debut and we wonder at the unforeseen Desert Swing implications following Rory McIlroy's announcement that he might play just two "pure" European Tour events in 2019. All this, and much more, in the December issue of Golf Digest Middle East.
