Golf or Golf Digest

[WhiteSoxFan]

If you could subscribe to one and only one of the above, which would it be and why?

What do you like or dislike about either one?

Golf. I like the 50 or so pages the magazine dedicates to stopping specific problems with people's games. At least once a month, I'll have a problem that's listed in the book, and try to fix it like so.

Not particularly a fan of Golf Digest - not many of the articles caught my eye. Although by now I really wish I hadn't tossed the issue with Stack and Tilt in it, because I really want to give it a shot.

I subscribe to Golf only because when I decieded to order a golf magazine, they had the best deal. My dad get Digest and they seem to have bigger name's for their articles like Tiger, Butch and Leadbetter. That hasn't swade me to switch magazines though.

I subscribe to both. I can never read too much golf.

My pick is Golf Digest. While Golf may have more lessons in each issue, Golf Digest's articles tend to be more interesting (and better written) and their coverage of the game and the players is much better. Also, Golf Digest's equipment reviews are much better.

I get Golf Digest and I like it. Sure there are pages of useless garbage but what magazine doesn't have that? I find it more interesting than most of the other Golf Mags I've read.

I get them both but I personally find that GolfWeek and GolfWorld have the best information, at least for my tastes. I probably would give the edge to Golf Digest too.

Neither, which wasn't one of the options in the poll.

Right now I am getting GOLF magazine, but it's a free scubsciption. For some reason Time-Warner offered a free subscription to their customers in my area.

I gave you the option of "other", which is similar to "neither".

Man, that would be a very difficult choice. I think that every month, one is better than the other but over time that seems to even out. I looked at the last few months though and picked digest, because it seemed as though I read them more intently and retained info better.

Its funny that this question comes up now. I haven't really been heavy on either magazines as of late, but as a kid I'd always had a subscription to Golf Magazine. But, I got my hands on the latest issue of Golf Digest. It had a really nice interview with Arnold Palmer, and I guess Tiger Woods writes articles for Gold Digest too. (along with other top touring pros). I've been waiting on pulling the trigger on getting myself a GD subscription.

Golf Digest, they have some fantastic articles.

I don't know if I would categorize what tiger does for GD as "articles". There are some nice tips, but 2 paragraphs doesn't count for me as an article.

I personally subscribe to GD, Golf, and Links magazine. I like how Links focuses on courses around the world. I like things in GD like "What's in my bag". I like breaking 100, 90, 80, 70. That stuff helps.

Golf Digest here..I like the little booklets in each issue. I tear them out and put them in my bag. They just have little quick fixes and tips that are pretty interesting. It's also the only magazine that Tiger, Ernie, Anika, Butch Harmon, Leadbetter, and many other of the game's top players and teachers write for. Articles are interesting and fun to read. Might end up with both though since Golf is running a special right now.

I get Golf in the mail and it is ok.
HOWEVER : It takes half an hour to rip out all the stiff card "offers" they insert between pages. Can't read the damn thing til I do that
