Rating  - Very good magazine, interesting.
This magazine has good articles about golf and on golf instruction. The pictures on golf instruction are always very clear and not hard to follow. I think there are too many ads at times which I sometimes get tired of reading...
I recommend the following books on golf instruction that I found to be highly beneficial.
The first one is "Zen Golf", which shows the mental side of the game and makes playing golf easier in this aspect.
The second book I recommend on the physical aspect of golf is "The Ultimate Golf Instruction Guide: Key Techniques for Becoming a Zero Handicap Golfer or Better." This book really has some amazing and unique stuff about the golf swing. I finally scored below 80 because of this book.
Golf Magazine is definitely my favorite magazine on golf. I also love their issue every year on new golf equipment. This issue I find the best. It shows you how golfers with different handicaps perform with different clubs. It even shows clubhead speeds and measured driving distance of each person who is testing the clubs. I find this very interesting.
Rating  - Nice illustrations for lessons
I really enjoy how they illustrate and break down their lessons into different playing abilities. Even though they break down the lessons into breaking 80, 90, 100, straight hitter looking for power or power hitter looking for accuracy, they are all very helpful. No matter what your playing ability, I think any golfer can take away a little bit of advice from the playing lessons. Unfortunately, Golf Magazine seems to be a little weak on their travel side lately though; not really focusing on that perhaps due to the downturn in travel in recent months. I wish they would focus on that a little more like some other magazines such as T&L golf or The Golfer.
Rating  - The best of a big field
I've spent the last couple of months plowing through every golf magazine I could get my hands on, including Golf, Golf Illustrated, Golf Tips, and Stroke Savers to name a few. Golf Magazine, which has been around since 1959 and comes out monthly, is by far the best in terms of quality, content and presentation. While they all feature tips and lessons, Golf's photos are the most helpful to me, for instance showing stance, grip and frame-by-frame swing photos in separate boxes. I also find their paper quality and photos to be better, and their non-instructional articles to be more interesting. Add to that the fact that the magazine is published monthly, rather than a few times a year, and I believe it's the best deal for the money, especially as inexpensive as it is.
As an added bonus, many resorts and equipment companies offer special deals exclusively to Golf Magazine readers, which you can take advantage of via a special section on those offers each month.
Rating - Wowwa!
I think this is a good review. If you are into golf you should deffenitly read this. If you are not so sure if you want to play golf maybe you should read this and get more into this magazine. This is more for teenagers and up I don't think kids would get this very much. My dad went crazy over this magazine and made me read this magazine and it made me get more into golf. I think if you would like to be more into golf and learn more about the players and the sport you should diffently read this. I think this was a great way for you to get more into golf and maybe just maybe you will be a pro someday.
