A decade of golf

Els' passion for the magazine is evident as he has been a major contributor for the past decade and has recently extended his long term contract as one of their exclusive playing editors: "It's amazing how time has flown. It has been a great run and I know that they are going to take it even further. I am very proud to have been a part of their success and will hopefully give them a few more tips going forward. Congratulations Golf Digest on your tenth anniversary and the Champagne's on you."

Since they launched in 1995, Golf Digest has grown to become the biggest selling golf magazine in South Africa with their current Jan - June 05 ABC at 25 167. Golf Digest is currently published in over 30 countries.

Editor Stuart McLean says: "Golf Digest celebrates its first 10 years, and we're proud to announce a record circulation in the first six months of this year, leading up to our anniversary.

"The magazine has steadily improved over the years in terms of consistent and quality material. We strive to present the best possible golfing publication, one that not only entertains and informs, but can help our readers play better golf."

Golf Digest's bumper birthday issue of 184 pages includes a 36-page GolfStyle section, making this their biggest ever edition.
