Parmo
Tour Winner
Just got my copy of Golf world today, my first one. Sat down at the kitchen table with a coffee and Soberano Brandy (man flu with match tomorrow) and read through the adverts, in fact page after page of adverts to my cold ridden eyes. Then after flicking through pages of adverts and decent looking reads I will come back too I found the 2009 balls section reviews...
The review for the Srixon Z-Star was "Biggest market growth, too much technology" or words to that effect, then awarded a silver star, I was taken back at this as they classed it in the same league as Nike premium balls and Bridgestone, the Z-Star is one of the biggest releases in my eyes for this year, a true battle against the dominating Pro Vee, yet they state for the pro vee "hardly any change"!!
Looking at the advert above this page also reminds me of the TM R9 adverts, page after page of the R9 adverts, I mean yeah it looks a great driver I am sure, but £300+ worth to make a 15 handicapper drop to 3 by the end of the season? No, but I know they have to advertise their products, but very OTT of TM in my eyes when we all know in 6 months time a new TM will be released.
Comparing GW to GM is like watching the Ryder cup to a local Texas Scramble on a wet Sunday afternoon, I take we all have to make money but where do you draw the line at advertising and readers enjoyment? I see my subscription to GW as a tenner and some Z-Stars I would have bought anyway. One last thing, I want to take my cap off to the GM team (inc Homer) for producing the best mag on the shelves in the UK.
(if you want someone to test either the new R9 or PRO V1 please pm me
