We have been seeing it for awhile now... Golf Digest using "Fitness" as an excuse to apply the old "Sex Sells" theory... but for the most part they made a half ass attempt to disguise it as something else... until this month.
One of the 4 cover stories....upper right of the front cover in bold...

Anybody else see this?
Just wondering...Seeing GC coverage of qualifier results made me wonder... how is it determined how many players qualify out of each qualifier...as GC was showing notables from each spot they were mentioning and saying 6 spots were available from this place, 12 spots from this place, etc etc...
I played a round with Daddio Saturday. Worst humidity I have seen so far this year. As bad as what I experienced in Florida in August after a rain shower last year. The air was so thick I think we could have rowed a boat in it.
I hit several drives and approaches that felt flushed but came up...
Did anybody else happen to catch a show on FS1 last night called "The Kids Are Alright"? One hour long pre-US Open show focusing on the youth movement in both mens and womens pro golf.
I thought it was pretty good. Saving it on my DVR for awhile because I may want to watch it again when I...
Loving my new Bio Cells enough that it's time to sell my Cobra AMP irons.
Cobra AMP 5 iron thru Gap Wedge..right handed... stock Dynalite 90 Stiff Shafts, plus 1 inch...standard lie....would be willing to trim the shafts back to standard length and try to salvage the grips if requested.
New...
Couldn't sleep last night... golf channel had live Ladies Euro Tour coverage on...better than the infomercial for the new Hammer putter so I watched...
I had only had it on for a minute when the 3rd approach shot to a green with lots of undulation hit, stopped, then slowly rolled backwards down...
looking for a killer deal on another gap wedge to compliment the Bio Cell+ irons I just put in the bag. I had good results with the set included Cobra AMP gap wedge I was playing, and I really like the old Cleveland 54 SW and new 58* RTX lob wedge I use.
If anybody has anything nice and cheap...
Man I can not wait for the end of the day today. 30 minutes ago I installed the last shaft into the last head of my new to me iron set. Been playing Cobra Amp irons and was just ready for something fresher. I found a set of Bio Cell Plus heads on the bay, but they were priced too high. Made him...
Just got a great deal on a set of barely used Bio Cell + iron heads. Before I drop the coin on a new set of shafts I thought I would see if any THPers had a set to get rid of first.
Need them to be regular flex, but could handle R+ or hard stepped regular flex.
Need .355 tip size.
Need them...
Played my home course Saturday after 2 week layoff. Realized pretty quickly that the person who had most recently relocated to holes was a sadistic S.O.B. Of 18 holes, at least 10 of them were in difficult to ridiculous locations. Once me and my partner got to the 16 green and I saw where the...

I found this video from yesterday when Rory skipped one across the pond and on the green. But do any of you guys know where to find the video they showed on 'Live From" last night...the one done by pro cameramen that actually allows you to see the...
I am currently playing the Cobra AMP irons that I purchased late in 2012. I have been itching to replace them with something a little more current this season. I have replaced the long end of my bag over the last few months, I like the way the AMPs play for me, but just starting to itch for...
In the spirit of Freddies Internet Golfers Anonymous thread from last week, I bring you the official Equipment Hoarders Anonymous thread.
My name is Dustin, and I am a golfball hoarder. And yesterday I realized exactly how big the problem has become.
Decided to relocate a good chunk of my ball...
I get a daily sale email from Rockbottomgolf.com..
Today they have previous generation Bridgestone E6 balls on sale for $15.99/dozen when you buy 3 dozen or more... it is a 24 hour sale and I got the email at 10:30 am central standard time today.
It is actually a 20% off sitewide plus free...
Got an email from GC asking me to fill out an equipment survey. 60 some questions about what you play and what you would consider playing, how much you pay for stuff, how often you buy this or that, etc. Somebody will win a new driver and 10 people will win a dozen premium balls.
After the...
I get a daily newsletter email from 'In The Hole" Golf... today they are doing a killer deal on Srixon Zstar and Zstar XV balls...
3 dozen for 79 bucks with free shipping.
Surely this is on the previous gen models and not the brand new version but I don't know for sure.
Heres the link to the...
Got an email today about a product by Medicus called the CLOCKWORX HOLE SLOPE INDICATOR. Looks basically like a level that you put in the hole and it shows you which direction and how severe any slope near the hole is, and possibly where the optimal aiming spot of the cup is. Obviously it could...
Did anybody catch Morning Drive today? They talked about Sergios killer out from a bunker on 10 while playing 13, then Charlie replicated it 4 times.
He put a Big Break glass 60 yards out on the simulator...same height and size...60 yards out. Said he wanted to put ball through that window...
