Plus a bunch of other major magazines, like Sports Illustrated. I wasn't able to access GD directly from the Kindle app on the smartphone, had to go to the website using this link and then send the issue to the smartphone. There was nothing I was interested in reading in this month's issue though, but have only skimmed through it so far.

You'd have to pay me to read Golf Digest. 

This is neat though. I wonder if I can send to my Kindle.

Cool. I'd read Golf Digest if it is free (since I am already a prime member).

Just don't read the instructional stuff. Or at the very least, don't apply it to your own swing :-)

Yep me too - the preview of the link in the status bar says amazon.com but when you copy and paste it you get advert spam.  

When will I ever learn?! :pound::pound: Never click a link ... never click a link ... never click a link:mad:

Sorry, it worked for me because I'm already signed into Amazon and have Prime.

Try this:

I'm a little suspicious the whole post is bogus. I'm an Amazon prime number. I don't see any free offer when I search for Golf Digest. 

Link below is really Amazon:

You can't get it from within the app. You have to send it to your phone from the website. All I know is, I went to the link and it worked for me and others on reddit. To be fair, Amazon's interface design for these things, kind of sucks.

I don't know why'd anyone think I'd try to waste people's time with bogus/bad information. This has been reported by major news outlets and Amazon itself issued a press release about it:

http://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/news/2016/10/06/amazon-introduces-prime-reading-subscribers/91664356/

It was mainly because of that first bad link. Thanks for the correction. Here is a better starting point I think...

I finally got it to work for me.  Had to go to Amazon directly and search for golf digest and then I was able to get this months issue only for free delivered to my device.

It's not a bogus link and there's nothing nefarious going on.

We make a few bucks a month with referral fees. VigLink handles it and basically just says "okay, if the person buys from Amazon, this site is the referral and we'll credit them with three cents" (or whatever).

It sounds like VigLink was having trouble re-directing for a few hours, that's all.

Even this link will take a quick trip through VigLink: https://smile.amazon.com.

I'll look into why this isn't working properly. I too got taken to a VigLink page rather than completing the redirect process to Amazon.

I see now. http://optimize.viglink.com/page/about - I'm going to opt out. This should opt out everyone on this site.

      Mizuno Jpx One Driver & Fairway Woods

      By M2R · Posted

      I caught a video on this driver; the face tech seems crazy. Looking at the heat map for ball speed, hitting it basically anywhere on the face only loses a few percent ball speed. The surprising and counter intuitive part to me was that for flat faced clubs, ball speed loss is directly proportional to distance loss. For clubs with bulge and roll this is apparently not true. The surprising part of that story being that the max distance potential looks to be a tiny pee sized area for this driver, and I feel in general for drivers. The counter intuitive part being (the myth?) that blade irons have a pee sized sweet spot and missing that tiny spot causes dramatic losses. And that modern drivers, maybe 2017 on, have massive sweet spots and are ultra forgiving. Where in reality, if this heat map data is valid and reliable, it might be a bit of the opposite. This insane tech driver appears to have a pea sized "sweet spot" while Mizuno Pro 241 irons are 28% more forgiving compared to the average of all clubs measured. Not compared to other players irons, compared to all clubs from all categories, players to SGI! The Pro 241 being essentially just a solid chunk of metal with no "tech" at all. Which for me devolves into a whole mess of what is forgiveness really? And in measurable and quantifiable results how many yards, or feet, does that translate into?
