Spawn of GFW

The monthly newsletter from the club came yesterday, with a big promo with the Rally for the Cure event coming up--co-sponsored by GFW. Yeah, right.

I spoke with the organizer. She said she understands Golf Digest is picking up the sponsorship and that they may start running a women's section. I had wondered if adding Lorena Ochoa as a playing editor was an attempt to expand the appeal to women, or was simply rotating her into the designated women's slot on the playing editor roster.

My wife subscribed to Golf For Women and stated it was a huge clothing ad with a few short articles on golf .

I occasionally picked up GFW and much preferred it to the repetitive and often contradictory and/or silly "tips" that litter far too many pages of GD and Golf magazines. I have an instructor for my swing, give me info on equipment, players, courses, and events.

But GolfPunk is still my favorite golf magazine. I just can't always find/afford it.

I am wondering when we are going to get the letter asking us to switch magazines. How often does Golf Digest get published a year?

Hey soxy. Was wondering where you had been.

Golf Digest is published every month. Lorena was on the cover of the August '08 issue. Just a coincidence that Conde Nast put a female golfer on the cover of Golf Digest right after they announce that GFW is folding?

Methinks not.




P.S. That avatar is perfect for you.

Did you see the issue with Morgan Pressel on the cover? I'm just sayin'.

Besides, I did say my favorite golf mag is GolfPunk.

Might I suggest a short perusal:

Just for the heck of it, I went to the Golf Punk web site. Can definitely do without the Bunker Babes. Bad photography and if you scroll down the roster, the same photos come up with different names on them. Didn't pursue it beyond that.

I'm probably the only one here who has picked up Golfer Girl. Edited by three teenage sisters, published by their dad. Dry instruction, way more clothes than GFW, and an odd editorial voice--everyone is sweet. But they have Natalie Gulbis doing articles for them and every issue runs a feature on a women's college golf team (Williams, Dartmouth, etc.) and another on careers using golf. THe first on that was being Editor at GFW, but they've done others as well. Can't see reading it without a young girl in the house, but it's not without redeeming features.

Didn't mind some of the pics on that site, but other than that it sucks.
