NEW ZEALAND’S No 1 GOLF MAGAZINE

Golf is New Zealand’s biggest participation sport and THE CUT is the leading golf magazine serving that market.

Golfers demand top quality in courses, equipment, fashion and magazines - which is why they read The Cut. It's their kind of publication... an attractive, authoritative, informative, essential read, on sale bi-monthly. The magazine is endorsed by New Zealand Golf.

The Cut's authoritative columnists include rules expert and Manager of Tournament Operations for the PGA of Australia, Graeme Scott, and former NZ Open Champion Bob Glading. Popular radio sports host Brendan Telfer writes a hard-hitting comment piece and the most famous caddy in the world, Steve Williams, answers questions from readers. Kiwi professional golfer Doug Batty, based in the USA, offers his opinion on his sport and old friends, greenkeeping expert Will Bowden and Kinloch Golf Club Director of Golf and resident Head PGA golf professional Tom Long, return in 2011 as contributors.

Don't miss our Focus on Women section or our improved and enlarged equipment section. Equipment editor James Graham keeps readers up to date with the latest developments and trends from the industry’s leading manufacturers.

Expert tuition tips, course reviews, fantastic golf holiday destinations, coverage of events local and international - It's all in The Cut.
