Just received an email to this link: http://www.golfillustrated.co.uk/

They are re-launching the magzine quarterly. They state its a 'luxury' magazine. At £40 per year (thats £10 per issue for the mathematically impaired) it would need to be more than 'luxury'..........

So, how much would you pay for a magazine? OK, I know its a bit vague. If it is fantastic, I am sure it would represent value for money and be worth it.

But a tenner???????

it looks like its trying to be a coffee table magazine. Beautiful full page pictures, very atmospheric..The high end paper will make it feel very good to the touch (im a printer and the difference between paper grammage, filler etc really do make a difference). I'll probably pick one up from somewhere at some point, but I doubt i'll subscribe... A tenner an issue is too rich for a printers wallet..

Seems a strange decision to price it like that, wouldn't be interested in it at that price... Guess I'm not the target audience...

yes its to be read in the business section of the airplane while flying to your important meeting or 5 star golf holiday, not for the likes of us, know your place

it will be stunning pictures and lots of generic articles and interviews they'll be little thats current IMO as it will be out of date very quickly. I'll wait till it hits the dentist/Dr's waiting room

Hmm a tenner...no thanks, I am not sure I would enjoy something that is aimed at just the top end of the market either.

I would spend the £40 on an away round somewhere half decent oj a super saver deal rather than looking at courses I unlikely to ever play.

I would personally love to get this mag, but how can anyone, let alone a student justify that price!!??
