8 reasons to buy the new issue of bunkered

It’s new issue day – and here at bunkered, that’s a day we like very much.

The latest edition of the mag hits the shelves today, and as usual it’s crammed full of top-class content for you to enjoy.

Whether it’s interviews with the stars, top tuition, new gear or weird and wonderful tales from the world of golf, you’ll find it between these covers.

We’ve also teamed up with our friends at PING to produce our Winter Guide, which means you get two mags for the price of one. It’s crammed full of everything you need to make the most of this close-season – what to wear, how to smash it and the best courses to play.

Here are just a few of the reasons it’s a must-buy…

Pole star

Adrian Meronk has already made history as the first golfer from Poland to play on the DP World Tour – but he has no plans to stop there. The giant 29-year-old has set his sights even higher, and shares some of the secrets to his incredible game.

Masters wedding

Matt and Kate Ziance tied the knot this summer. Nothing unusual about that, we hear you say… but the Connecticut couple are so Masters-daft they decided to make the major the theme for their special day, with amazing results.

Bobby Jones

Jones was a pioneer of the beautiful game of golf who did things like nobody who had gone before. Marking 120 years since the legend’s birth, Michael Atkinson explores the life and times of the man who changed the game forever.

The youngest club captain?

Next season, Dylan Murray will become captain of Shotts Golf Club. At just 27 years old, that makes him one of the youngest in the UK. He sat down with bunkered to set out his ambitious vision.

A load of balls

Looking for something to do during lockdown, Campbell Mathieson and Andy Bogle set up Ayrshire Discount Golf Balls. Now it’s become the go-to destination for affordable recycled balls. This is how they did it…

Travel

Looking for your next golf break? Look no further! Whether it’s Morocco, Mauritius, Spain or even somewhere a little closer to home, we’ve got everything you need to help you decide that all-important destination.

New gear

It’s the end of the season, which means it’s time to start looking for new gear for 2023. Could Titleist’s TSR fairways make it into your bag? What about the new Mizuno JPX 923 irons? PING putters, anyone? We’ve run the rule over all of those and loads more to help you make the best buys for your game.

Tuition

As always, our experts are on hand with sage advice to help you shave more shots off your scores. Learn which two drills you should always have to hand, why you need to get yourself on a launch monitor and why you should try practicing to music – and find out the key tip Mark O’Meara gave 17-year-old Tiger Woods.
