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.

The Best Overall Golf Magazine
I read both Golf & Golf Digest for years [I should practice & play more and read less about golf...] :-) But, in recent years, Golf Digest has strayed far from what I want in a golf magazine - three examples: GD put in a fashion column [nobody I golf with has ever discussed golf clothing or styles!]; GD added a smarmy gossip column [trying to compete with the tabloids?]; GD no longer objectively reviews golf equipment [they now offer a "hot list" which amazingly enough coincides with their big advertisers]. Golf magazine has avoided these stupidities PLUS it has the spice of David Feherty's column - despite the fact that it was cut in half a couple years back. Golf is now clearly superior to Golf Digest.

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.
