ORLANDO, Fla. (March 6, 2013) – Golfweek, the publication preferred by serious golfers, has taken its equipment coverage to a new level with the March 1 hiring of Senior Writer David Dusek. Dusek, 42, one of the game’s most authoritative and respected voices on golf equipment, joins Golfweek after spending the last 11 years at Golf.com. He will team with Golfweek Senior Writer James Achenbach to create the most formidable tandem of equipment experts in the business.
“I’ve known David for years and have always admired his work, and we are excited to be able to add his voice, expertise and experience to our coverage of a category that is extremely important to our readers,” said Golfweek Editor Jeff Babineau. “People want to know all the specifics regarding what the top pros are playing and why they play what they do. Just as important, our readers, most of whom are good, avid players, want to know what’s new and what’s around the corner as they determine what to put in their own bags.”
Golfweek dedicates two or more pages weekly to its popular Toy Box section on equipment in the magazine, and will continue to expand the digital offerings of equipment coverage both on Golfweek.com and in The Tour Van, which is owned by Turnstile Media Group, Golfweek’s parent. The addition of Dusek to the Golfweek staff will result in more stories, blogs, photo galleries and videos across all platforms.
“I’m thrilled to have a chance to work with the staff of Golfweek to make the magazine and Golfweek.com the premier home for equipment news and information,” Dusek said. “Whether it’s players on the PGA Tour switching into new gear or manufacturers continuing to innovate and design better clubs for amateur players, there never has been a more exciting time to cover golf equipment. Using a combination of stories, blogs, photo galleries and videos, we’re going to keep Golfweek’s readers ahead of the curve and in the know.”
