ORLANDO, Fla. (April 25, 2013) – Golfweek – the most authentic, authoritative and independent voice in golf – underscores its ongoing commitment to covering golf at every level of the game with the release of its second annual Junior Issue. With more than 16 pages of dedicated coverage, Golfweek’s April 26 issue provides readers with a deeper understanding of the junior golf world by highlighting its young players, talented instructors and unique programs.
“Golfweek is invested in this game on many levels, and we have a great interest in junior golf,” said Jeff Babineau, Golfweek’s vice president and editor. “Andy Zhang, with whom we did an instruction piece in this issue, played in the U.S. Open at age 14 last summer, and we just watched another 14-year-old, Tianlang Guan, play on the weekend at the Masters. So juniors are getting better and better, and are making a significant impact on our game. They certainly have earned our respect and increased attention. The junior game always has been, and will continue to be, tremendously important to us. That’s why we go deeper with junior golf than any other media company does.”
Golfweek’s 2013 Junior Issue includes:
• An in-depth report on the junior game in Texas and what makes high school golf so big in the Lone Star State
• A fresh perspective on 15-year-old Brad Dalke, who burst onto the national golf scene when he committed to Oklahoma at age 12 and is now one of the country’s top juniors
• A look at the Peggy Kirk Bell Girls Golf Tour, which has filled a niche in the competitive junior scene by attracting and developing girls into competitive golfers
• A “For Your Game” instruction piece breaking down the drills that have helped 15-year-old Andy Zhang take his game to the next level
• A complete rundown of eight workouts from well-known fitness instructor Randy Myers designed to help not only juniors, but also golfers of all ages
