I'm a new golfer. What is the best golf magazine to subscribe to?

Definitely GolfDigest. the BEST golf magazine out there. It gives you tips and stories and everything else you could possibly ask for in a golf magazine. But if you are only looking for tips, then GolfTips would be for you. And the best place to get these magazines for cheap is eBay. You can get a 3 year subscription for under $10!

Sports Illustrated is my fav

golf digest, it has good tips

My advice is to use the money that you would spend on the subscription and put it toward a lesson, if you are looking for the magazine to be a teaching tool. If you just want to know what's going on in the world of golf, then GolfWeek is the way to go.

Golf Magazines are full of tips and solutions that most beginners or higher handicappers try to use too often. "Cure your slice with 3 simple drills" Sure, if that is the exact reason that you are slicing the ball. There are about 86 things that can cause the ball to slice. One drill might help 9 out of 10 people, but if you are that 10th person, you can do the drill all you want and you are still going to slice the ball. also, beginners have a tendency to over do the drills or do them incorrectly without realizing it. This ends up creating bad habits that take even longer to correct later on.

Go to the library and get the magazines for free if you really feel that you need to read them. There are millions of golfers out there, and no two swings are the same. get drills that are designed to help your specific needs from a professional that sees exactly what you are doing. Some of them might be the ones that come up in the magazines. others may be a variation of several drills that become suited specifically for you.

Also, starting out, it is important to get the proper fundamentals right off the bat. Even one or two sessions at the driving range alone at the beginning can groove bad habits.

Congratulations on picking up the game!!! It will bring you joy (and sometimes a little frustration) for the rest of your life.

Golf Digest for tips and golfworld for up to date stats.

golf magazine for $12 a yr 1 time a month

Both Golf Magazine and Golf Digest are good magazines. Golf Digest is more about the world of golf. If you are a new golfer i suggest Golf Magazine because it has more instruction articles and is more laid-back, fun to read. Golf Digest is too professional for me. also look in Golf Digest for a monthly swing sequence on a tour pro.

I currently subscride to Golf Digest and have enjoyed it from the get go. It does have a lot of good instruction tips from those just statring out to those that are 0-10 handicap. Golf Magazine is a very good mag too, but I gave the edge to Golf Digest because of their break 100,90, 80 articles, and swing break downs each month.
