What is inside Issue Four?

There’s a fascinating behind-the-scenes story about the day when Rory McIlroy turned up at St Enodoc in July. The Grand Slam champion was accompanied by his good friend and former Open Championship winner Shane Lowry, as well as the European Ryder Cup captain Luke Donald.

The Cornish club is a memorable destination in its own right, and the story offers readers a closer look at a visit that will be remembered for many years. There was also a competitive match, so make sure to buy a copy to find out more.

Rockliffe is another venue in the spotlight, as we explore how its new era is taking shape.

The North East venue has set its sights on becoming one of the country’s leading and finest golf resorts. The ambition came following a multi-million-pound transformation that has seen Rockliffe combine its championship golf with a world-class food scene.

Of course, no NCG Top 100s issue would be complete without a look at some of the golf courses we wish we were playing. This time around, our attention has turned to Appleby, Kilmarnock Barassie, Northamptonshire County and Fairhaven.

About the author

Max Mcvittie

A bit of a late bloomer to the game of golf, Max fell in love with the sport when he attended Saturday coaching sessions down at his local golf club after being inspired by friends and family members.

Max has remained a member of Eden Golf Club in Carlisle for a number of years now as he looks to get his handicap down into single figures. Most of his golfing career has been spent battling a permanent slice off the tee, which has led to some ugly rounds.

Having studied at the University of Sunderland, Max is starting out his dream career in sports journalism. During his time at university, he picked up valuable work experience at Reach PLC, BBC Radio Cumbria and GiveMeSport, whilst also getting work published in the Teesside Live. He also spent time working at a local weekly newspaper, Eskdale and Liddesdale Advertiser, as a general news reporter partially covering some local sport just north of the border in Langholm.

Max has just started his journey with the NCG working as the assistant equipment editor. He looks forwarded to reviewing the latest golf equipment, taking up an interest in reviews when buying his first golf club, a Cleveland RTX wedge.

With his bag not going under too many changes throughout the last few years, Max carries an M3 driver, Titleist GT3 Fairway Wood, M2 hybrid, a set of M2 irons, Callaway Jaws wedges and a TaylorMade Spider putter. And yes, Max is a bit of a self-proclaimed TaylorMade fan boy.
