1061.0. "N.E.Golf Magazine" by ENOVAX::MOORE () Tue Aug 28 1990 00:07

	I ordered "New England Golf Magazine" several weeks ago, after
	seeing an ad at Crumpin Fox. I have not received my issue in
	the mail yet, however I did look over the August/September 
	issue at a local private golf course today.

	First impressions:

		THIN

		Good pictures (not enough of them) but no explanations

		Good quality paper

		No (N.E. instruction) grasses, weather, etc.

		OK (I guess) article on Crumpin Fox

	I am really excited about a magazine that deals with N.E., so
	I can stop reading about the S.C., Cal., and Fla. stuff. We
	have so much going for us in N.E.


	Any others seen it yet?

1061.1Not a Great Mag, Just a "Rag..."ASABET::VARLEYTue Aug 28 1990 13:2711
     Yeah, I read it this weekend at The Fox. They incorrectly listed the
    slope from the back as 131 (it's 141), and they liberally plagiarized
    from the hole descriptions I wrote for the Grand Opening program. Geez,
    if somebody's gonna steal my stuff, I wish it was Herbert Warren Wind
    or his ilk. Shows how desperate they are for material.
     One of my "sleeper" favorite mags is "The Golf Club," which is
    supposedly available to members of private clubs (my sister sends it to
    me). They did a great profile of a Tillinghast course - Baltimore
    Country Club's "Five Farms" course.
