I have no idea why, but yesterday a copy of the last issue of GFW showed up in my mailbox (maybe they had extras laying around and somehow I got on a list).
Anyway, I now understand why so many of the ladies were annoyed with the issue. Very little merit. I understand that it was "The Style Issue", but even the article on clothing, etc. were weak. Incredibly overpriced stuff was featured, when clothing was even featured. Do women really want to read articles about the designers instead of the clothes they design.
I thought Ashley Mayo did a pretty decent job with the GPS article though. It was very refreshing to read a review in a golf magazine that actually criticized a product (i.e., "The units I tried were defective and I never got an accurate reading.")
I also liked a couple of the "tips" articles (why is it that the GFW tips are so much better than the ones from the "men's" magazines), and Stina's rants and raves were hilarious. I get the feeling Stina is very high manitenance. But damn, she might be worth it.
Anyway, a few good pages were not enough to save the issue. But it's still a shame the magazine folded. Based on th couple of issues I have read, I would honestly think about subscribing if it somehow survives.
