The environment and golf should be, actually has to be, a frequent conversation in clubhouses across the country or we could risk losing the game for good. To spark the discussion, international editor John Barton spent three months researching the topic and talking to some of the most influential thinkers in golf. Find out what golfers and non–golfers think about the game’s environmental impact in our national survey, see why we redefined our “Conditioning” category in all our rankings and discover what you can do to help the cause in the most important article Golf Digest has ever published.
Standing out in a crowd of more than 56,000 contestants is a tough task, but not nearly as tough as breaking 100 at Torrey Pines South in June, which is the challenge that lies ahead for one of these average golfers. Starting March 28, the public will vote and ultimately decide who gets to play this summer’s U.S. Open course with three celebrities in front of NBC’s cameras. Meet the five finalists of the first–ever U.S. Open Contest.
Golf Digest is once again urging golfers everywhere to take the Golf Digest Challenge and make over their games. Now in its third year, the GD Challenge allows golfers to set a target score, take a diagnostic test and get a customized set of lessons to help them achieve their goal. The step–by–step guide in the magazine features everything from a comprehensive system to record and analyze your stats to tips from Annika Sorenstam and Stan Utley on how to improve your driving accuracy and short game. If you’re looking for inspiration, be sure to check out our list of “America’s Most Improved Golfers.”
To celebrate the newest installment of Golf Digest’s “Best Places to Play,” five of our writers were assigned a golf destination (Myrtle Beach, Southern Alabama, Florida, Phoenix and Orange County, Calif.) and asked to create the best possible itinerary with the objective of “collecting” as many stars as possible in four days. Think you can design a better trip? Enter our "All-Star Itinerary Contest" for the chance to win $2,000 to use on your own golf getaway.
