More evidence that Golf Digest instruction works!

Fan letters, we'd like to report, come daily in droves. We'd like to report that, but at Golf Digest we're sworn to accuracy. So scratch the droves part. When fan letters do come, though, they make our day. The most recent: 

Last week, I read Jim McLean's tip, in the August issue of Golf Digest, about picturing firing a gun in order to achieve the proper right hand grip. I tried it out at the range a few days ago, and today on the course for the first time. Lo and behold, I shot my first ace! Thanks for all of your instructional articles and tips. Some "stick" and some don't, but this one scored big time!

David, congratulations. For a golfer, there's nothing more thrilling than a hole-in-one. For an editor, there's nothing more thrilling than a tip that helped someone make a hole-in-one. Jim is terrific with these kinds of images. I recommend more of his tips on golfdigest.com and on his web site, as well as the "Golf Digest Book of Drills," which he produced. It's full of great images and practice drills.

I was in the car yesterday and my son, who is 3, started to get fussy, so I gave him my husband's Golf Digest and he sat there for a good half hour "reading" it. I was able to snap a cute shot.

Thanks, Melissa. In the 60 years of our existence, people have used our magazine for many things--game improvement tool, sleep aid--but babysitting, that's a first. We're especially pleased with the photo because like all magazines we seek to demonstrate to advertisers that we appeal to a younger audience. What better proof. Alex, I think you're going to love the July issue.
