Golf Digest for me. I never pay attention to the tips and I take the equipment reviews with a grain of salt. Aside from that, the rest of the magazine is pretty entertaining. The November 2010 issue, which I have in front of me now, has a very good article about the last days of Earl Woods.

They are pretty similar overall. I mostly read them both for the tips (aren't we all just one solid tip away from being scratch?) and it's true after a while they recycle. GD tips are from PGA/LPGA pros, GOLF tips from "top 100" teachers. Teachers always seem to have bizarre tips as they try to outdo each other.

I have subscribed to both at some time, but neither now. After 18 months, the golf mags start to repeat themselves. I buy the GD January edition for the annual equipment reviews.

I scan them sometimes in the doctor's office or at the gym, but the stuff isn't exciting enough for me to subscribe. I actually find greenskeeping magazines more interesting.

The last two pros I've worked with were highly similar in their teaching approaches, so I'd rather stick with their stuff than mess with stray "game improvement" bits.

Focus, connect and follow through!

      First Season With Blades - Let's Discuss

      By tomfig · Posted

      I’d go with the Titleist if you liked the look of the blades but were suffering with distance. They should be a little more forgiving than a full blade and still retain some workability. Also remember to consider the shafts each have as this will be a big contributor to how they feel. Clemsonfan is right though… get fit or spend a bit of time on a launch monitor 🤙

      My Swing (Tomfig)

      By tomfig · Posted

      Hi All my New Year’s resolution was to start playing golf again. I’ve caught the bug and am really enjoying hitting balls at a couple of my local ranges.looking forward to getting back out on courses in the spring. Based in the UK and 38 years old, I’ve been playing since I was a kid. Best handicap I’ve held is 2 in my mid 20s. Over the past 10 years I’ve played once or twice a year, sometimes with friends or for work. Could shoot 4-5 over, but just as easily shoot 15-20 over. I’ve moved to South Wales and am very lucky to be near some world class links courses, which gives me even more motivation to get playing again! I will start looking for a local coach in my area when I have more time to invest, but I recalled scouring this forum a few years ago and finding some good tips and advice so wanted to give it a try to see if there were any glaring issues I could fix in the meantime!  A few swings below… one from 1st week Jan and one from today. I have fixed my P1 takeaway to my liking and am now working on what I see as pretty severe early extension & hip thrust. Also terrible hip rotation. I’d like confirmation that this is indeed a problem and and suggestions on a few good drills. Thanks for reading 🙂 I've been Playing Golf for: 30+ years My current handicap index or average score is: 10ish over My typical ball flight is: mid The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: push right with irons, hooks and push with driver!  Videos:
