October Golf Monthly Issue Revisits Ryan Fox's Open Win And Talks To Gary Player

Golf Monthly's October issue is now on sale, built around a central instruction theme of solving problems out on the course.

The magazine sets out nine solutions to common on-course dilemmas, covering strategic choices, technical adjustments for specific shots, and the mental approach needed to handle pressure moments with a card in hand.

On the tour side, the issue reconstructs how Ryan Fox took his chance at Birkdale on the final Sunday to win the Open Championship, examining how the closing round unfolded.

Gary Player also features in an exclusive interview, giving his views across a range of golfing topics, according to Golf Monthly.

In the equipment pages, the magazine's gear testers have put 2026's latest game-improvement irons through a comparative test to help readers identify the model best suited to their game.

The issue also includes a first look at Srixon's new driver releases as part of its wider equipment coverage.

Away from the tour and the workshop, golf and beer writer Fergus Bisset picks his top five spots for a post-round pint across the UK and Ireland.

There is also a feature asking whether professional caddying advice can transform an amateur game, as Golf Monthly's Nick Bonfield, a 12-handicapper, takes to the course with a world-class looper to test a change in strategy.

The magazine's course experts round out the issue with a look at some of the best places to play, including notable backdrops in Ireland, destinations in the Caribbean, and a selection of the best closing par 3s in the country.

The October issue of Golf Monthly is available to buy now, or readers can subscribe to receive every future issue.
