Who's Top Dog in the mags?

[HotDogAssassin]

We all know that GM is the BEST golfing mag and that it was pleased to announce a few months back that no.1 in sales had been achieved. However, I noticed on the the front cover of the other (unmentionable) mag that they have declared "Britain's Biggest Selling Golf Magazine". How did that happen?

Sales for first half of year are
Unmentionable Golf Mag 60375
Golf Monthly 56806

I usually buy both and enjoy both.

Where do you get the figures from?

I admit that I buy both as well.

I subscribe to GM but occasional buy the other for additional reading

If we are referring to TG as the other mag, sorry but the quality is similar to comparing the Daily Star with the Times. TG appeals to the lowest common denominator and every article seems dumbed down or souped up with very few if any pieces of real journalism. Ironically the other mag from that stable Golf World is a great read and on a par with GM.

Agree with homer on this although I would suggest GW is just a touch behind GM because of its slight American biased in quite a few articles as they are shared from its sister mag.
Another quality but expensive read is new reissued golf illustrated but at £10 a pop it will never mass market.

I don't like TG. Layout is bitty and it has too much going on without enough substance. I do, however, like Golf World and subscribe to that as well as GM.

TG is ok to read in the dentist's waiting room. GM is for sitting on the sofa with a beer of choice.
