The Sand Trap in print media (Golf Digest)

[Shindig]

How often does The SandTrap get mentioned in print media? Today's the first time that I can remember being aware of it: I was reading the new issue of Golf Digest and this forum was mentioned (page 106). Whether this is frequent or rare, I think it's awesome

The article isn't about The SandTrap or about web forums in general; it's actually part of an article about Rory. Article begins page 102.

The November issue?

I was interviewed (kind of - gave tips on watching a golf tournament) in Golf Magazine earlier this year. We've been mentioned a few times. I tend not to care too much because we have more readers than Golf or Golf Digest, but it's still nice. I'll have to flip to page 102 when my issue arrives. I seem to get magazines a week later than most people.

I'll have to check it out!!!

My son and I both has a subscriptions to Digest, but his arrives 2-3 weeks before mine. WTF?? Oh well, at least I read his first.

The November issue?

It's in the November issue, yes. Page 102 is the start of the article, which I enjoyed reading. TST is mentioned in the article, although the site isn't the focus of the article.

WOW! That's impressive. Care to share how the numbers break down? I must admit I don't subscribe to either of those mags, but pick one up on occasion. I do read TST daily it seems.

[jcrew]

The in-laws bought one for my son not knowing I already had the subscription.

I got my mag and was reading the article on Saturday morning and noticed the mention of TheSandTrap.com, which I thought was funny because I just started visiting this site. Good exposure anyways...

[kfowler]

That's how I found this site!

I dont know if this has been posted and Im sure you guys know about it, Im working now and dont have time to do the search to find out, but the SandTrap.com was mentioned in the latest Golf Digest. (The one with Ernie on the cover). It was mentioned in the article where they talk about Rory Sabbattini. Anyone else know about this or am I about one month behind???

Cool...I cant believe I didnt notice this thread, im on here quite often. Whoever wrote Rory is an idiot is famous!!!

Thing is, I'm fairly certain nobody ever wrote what was quoted. I think it was provided as an "example" or "representative" opinion, not as one that was actually spoken.

I've searched and I can't find anything about "pie hole"s or the rest of it.

We've been "mentioned" again:
http://www.golfdigest.com/magazine/b...and-tiger.html
(Of course, we were mentioned as "sandtrap.com," which isn't right...).

At any rate, I still can't find this "pie hole" comment. Not anywhere. Actually, I found it in one place on our forum (not counting this thread, where I said I couldn't find the words "pie hole" anywhere. Here it is:

Uhhh, yeah, has nothing to do with Rory Sabbatini.

In other words, we were misquoted!
