Country’s Most-Read Golf Publication Re-launches Web Site
Easier navigation, more regional and national golf coverage and expanded interactive features are the centerpieces of the "new" GolfersGuide.com, the online arm of Golfer’s Guide Magazine, which launched Thursday.
Still featuring more than 1,000 golf courses in dozens of golf destinations across the country, GolfersGuide.com is poised to become the leading golf portal in the industry. The site, which has been among the most popular golf-dedicated sites since it first launched nearly 10 years ago, serves as the perfect complement to Golfer’s Guide, North America’s Most Read Golf Publication serving more than 14 million avid golfers.
"We’ve always been about connecting our avid golfers with those who provide golf services, and believe we’ve greatly improved the information flow and inter-activity of the Golfer’s Guide on our re-launched site, " said James McMahon, Director of Media Properties. "We hope we’ve made it even easier for our many visitors to research their next golf round, plan a golf vacation, find a golf course community, keep up with the latest golf trends or simply to read about or discuss the issues that make golf such a passion for so many of us."
Among the improved features on GolfersGuide.com is the ability to plan golf vacations through the expanding GolfersGuideTravel.com and connect to golf real estate opportunities through GreatGolfCommunities.com, both sister sites to GolfersGuide.com. Those two sites are currently undergoing their own renovations and are expected to re-launch in the coming months as part of Golfer’s Guide’s overall internet program.
Finding just the right golf course for your next round in your own backyard or on your next vacation is still the top priority of the more than 20 regional Golfer’s Guide publications and GolfersGuide.com itself. The interactivity of the site allows visitors to do their own research by linking them to specific regions that contain dozens of courses with photos, pertinent information, and links to the courses’ Web sites for more information. You can also bid on rounds at many of the courses through the #1 tee-time auction site, GolfUS.com.
The front page of GolfersGuide.com will also treat visitors to the latest news on the hottest new clubs and golf accessories (In the Bag), tidbits on the latest trends in the game and other golf-related news and features. Many of the site’s features and stories are fueled by the Golfer’s Guide Player’s Club Newsletter, a complimentary online newsletter that currently goes out to 25,000 subscribers weekly and also includes analysis, editorial opinions, and your feedback on "everything" golf. Golfer’s can subscribe to the newsletter by visiting www.GolfersGuide.com.
