Sports Illustrated publishes the monthly glossy bible for golfers, known simply as Golf Magazine. It is entertaining and informative and golfers of all ability levels look forward to each edition. It appears as a hard copy and can also be accessed on a user friendly web site.
All aspects of the sport are explored from articles about the top competitions to detailed discussions on equipment. The staff reviews products and golf courses. There is also a search facility online of courses from an index of 20,000 locations. Advice is given on the merits or otherwise of a particular course and on golfing vacations. Another search will bring up an index of golf clubs. Golf Magazine also runs an online store, a convenient way of buying irons, drivers, hybrids, putters and wedges etc.
Top golfers on the circuit are featured, as the magazine follows their careers and charts their progress at each event. There are interviews with all the celebrity names, news updates and photographs of the action. Upcoming competitions and participants are previewed. Instruction is another important part of Golf Magazine and there are lessons from experts, demonstrated in videos and photographs. These include tuition on putting, shot making and pitching and chipping.

Einstein is not ... merely an artist in his moments of leisure and play, as a great statesman may play golf or a great soldier grow orchids. He retains the same attitude in the whole of his work. He traces science to its roots in emotion, which is exactly where art is also rooted.

Another popular publication is Golf International, in print, online and through the Setana Golf TV channel. It has the usual sections associated with a golf magazine with news and feature articles on the world of competitive golf. There is also expert tuition from the David Leadbetter Golf Academy. Amateur golf news is also included and there is an index of golf instruction schools, reviews and a golf competition calendar. Archive video provides exciting footage of past tournaments, such as the 1999 Open Championship at Carnoustie and the 2001 Dubai Desert Classic.
This publication puts a lot of emphasis on the international scene. Any golf magazine is read around the world these days and Golf International includes articles about the development of the sport in Iceland, the Middle East and Asia. The section called Travel Destinations looks at various courses and golf holiday resorts in Ireland, the Caribbean and South Africa. Some of these exotic destinations may be out of reach but there is the opportunity to win equipment in the various contests that the golf magazine runs.
In a growing international sport, both professional and amateur players want reliable and accurate information. The ability to put tuition online in a visual way is a convenient facility. A golf magazine must also inspire the reader to greater heights. There is only one Tiger Woods but everyone can improve his or her game.
