I agree with the'less exotic' points made. I wouldnt want to see them disappear but I would like to see more on all the clubs up and down UK covered, and I dont mean the top 10 regulars that get enough coverage elsewhere.

Great Mag though, I may even subscribe if my free access through a friend dried up.lol.

Enjoy the mag--As an irish reader-Southern Ireland-i would liek to see more info on irish course and deals.

Also suggest a day in the life article on various people involved in golf--top pros, caddies, europro golfers, local teaching pros, club secretaries etc.

Some articles on societies-how many outings, who organises them, what makes a good society etc.

As with most respondents less exotic travel locations.

More UK bassed travel items & maybe less about places most mortals are never likely to visit. I'm really not interested in Dubai or the States, but am interested in Scotland, Ireland, Eire, Wales etc. maybe the occasional heads up for a European destination though would be good, even though I don't at the moment possess a passport.

More grassroots testing of destinations & clubs by the likes of Joe public (Hacker & CO')

Generally the mag is about right really. Would be nice to have more tour news & details (in advance)about where we can get tickets for upcoming tour events (& prices) in the UK, for all tours, not just the European Tour events, but challenge, Europro, Ladies & seniors.

Most certainly less travel. There's plenty of places to play in Britain first so more course reviews.

Not too much from the pros about what's in their bag. Along with a " How to hit Tiger's Stinger" peice, they bear little resemblance to any golf I play - I'll never hit a stinger like Tiger and if I tried to hit Sergio's 13 degree 3 wood (or whoever has one!) it'll just go sideways.

keep on with the interviews with the stars - this is one area that, for some reason TG never do - hence I don't buy it anymore!

Going around clubs sounds a good idea.

In depth equipment peices with multi player tests - real players not pro's. A pro might think the Titleist irons are great but they're probably no good for a 24 handicapper. And more reader tests (hint hint) only 6 a month??? ;)

Less travel. Definately more articles relating to us, the club golfer, maybe with the participation of forumers to find out what is happening in and around the clubs.
It would be nice to see a little less bias towards the south. More course reviews from northern England courses.

Otherwise i think there is a great mix of content within the mag. Well done and keep it up.
