by Jordan Farr, aka Golf Girl JuniorLately I’ve been thinking, “what would Golf Girl put in a magazine if she were to create one?” Well, the other day I happened upon G Women Magazine, and it all came together... this is exactly the magazine she’d come up with! So, I guess it’s no surprise that I found it... in her living room.
What really got me excited was when I saw the feature on a Spa Golf Getaway in the Maldives. It just so happens, I’ve never met a spa treatment I didn’t like love... and I’ve been dreaming of visiting the Maldives for a while now.
The best part of G Women is that while they’re totally golf-centric... they also feature fashion and lifestyles stories that go way beyond the course. In addition, they host events that sound ...STELLAR!
OK, so here’s where it gets good... or as Golf Girl Would say... awesome: If you subscribe to G Women through Golf Girl’s Diary, you’ll receive your first two issues free. .. and G Women will donate $5.00 to Cristie Kerr’s charity, “Birdies for Breast Cancer”. Just place your order here (there's also a like in our sidebar) and use promo code: golfgirl.
Now, let me get back to my reading.
G Women Magazine is a beautiful high-end read. It definitely has a luxury feel that I love.
ReplyDeleteI thought of you (and your golfing gal pals) when I was reading it too. :)
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a lovely publication. When Golf for Women went out of business I thought something else would come along but it never did. The Golf Digest "Women" site has very little content and what's there generally represents the more serious side of the game, which is fine, but I've been missing the, "glossy, luxury side". This looks like it'll definitely fit the bill. :o)
ReplyDeletePatricia, it's great to see G Women Magazine back in the marketplace, we are Big fans of the quality of the publication and their commitment to the game of women's golf! In order for a magazine with high quality production like this, it's imperative that women golfers support this offering and keep them in business...
ReplyDeleteCongrats to Publisher Bobby Harris!
I think they were smart not to put the word golf in the title but to leave it at "G". Golf for Women struggled because it was perceived as too frivolous for the serious golfer and too serious for the casual recreational golfer .
ReplyDeleteWhat month was that issue? I paid for a subscription months ago and have yet to get an issue or a response. I was wondering if they'd changed to online only.
ReplyDelete.
ReplyDeletei don't know about this
the women i know lament the fact that after a round in high heat and humidity well let's just say no one looks their "best"
it seems more sensible to me to aspire to a fun round rather than a fashion show
golf is an outdoor sport - wear cotton and loose fitting clothes - wear a hat despite the "hat hair" stigma
be athletic not runway
i know i know - enjoy your magazine

LWH- I'm interested in your comments below. Is this your personal opinion of why GFW failed or do you have other info. and insights you can share with us, I for one was shocked when GFW went under but I did not think it did so for either of your two examples. Just curious on that...and very hopeful that G Women finds its place in the women's golf market.

Maybe you'd like the new online magazine for women who love the game, GottaGoGolf! Check it out at www.GottaGoGolf.com -- it's a little less highbrow than some of the other publications, but it's smart and funny and feisty -- said the publisher :-)
