MUST PLAY - North Berwick

The East Lothian coast is home to one of the most concentrated stretches of fine links courses both ancient and modern anywhere in the world. No trip to the region is complete without a visit to North Berwick's West Links, looking out over Bass Rock and the Firth of Forth, where there's a real sense that precious little has changed over the last 190 years.

Joel Tadman on...Should you buy a new driver in 2023?

Be sure to buy or borrow a sturdy travel cover that offers complete padding and protection. At particular risk are the longer clubs - the driver and woods, which stick up highest out of the bag.

Ping iCrossover utility iron £275

Aiming to bridge yet another gap in the bag you didn't realise you had, the iCrossover sits between your longest iron and the shortest hybrid, but is more of an iron than a hybrid. Compared with the previous Ping G425 Crossover, the sole is a little narrower and the head a bit sleeker to make it play more like an iron.

PXG 0211 2023 driver £319

By offering aspirational aesthetics and solid performance at a more affordable price, the Arizona-based brand has certainly piqued the interest of golfers with its 0211 range of woods and irons. We were particularly impressed by the playability of the original PXG 0211 driver. It was easy to launch and forgiving, so when we heard that a new version was launching, we were keen to see how PXG would move things forward.

Conquer the 50-yard bunker shot

With an 8-iron, aim slightly left of target (in this case, the flag). It's harder to sit the hands low to get the loft to point towards the target as we open the clubface with lower lofts.

Sarah Stirk

We're currently in that funny time in the golfing calendar where the new season hasn't quite got going yet, but there have been a few slightly different tournaments which have kept things interesting of late. I remember writing my column this time last year about what a joy the PNC Championship was to watch, and I have to say it was even more entertaining this time around. The quality of the field just gets stronger and stronger and it's become a real fixture on the pre-Christmas calendar.
