So, I'm finally getting around to opening the latest
Golf Magazine (May 2011), and as usual, I turn to the
Contents (page 9 in this edition). There I find a posed, page-length photo of
Graeme McDowell illustrating the feature article,
Master the Scoring Zone.
One look at those alignments, and I thought to myself, "Good thing he doesn't actually do this. Otherwise, there would be at least one less piece of silver on his mantle!".
Ten minutes later, reading the article itself, I encountered two photos (on page 107) posted side-by-side. One was labeled
Don't Do This! and the other was labeled
Do This! Guess which one was featured on their Contents page?
The various golf magazines have been doing a pretty good job of late, at least in my opinion. They really
are trying. Still, I found this snafu telling . . .
Did the magazine's graphic folk make a mistake? From their vantage point, I think not: You can see a lot more of G-Mac's face in the
Don't! photo than you can in the
Do! And, after all, isn't
that what
they paid for? Isn't
that what's most important? I'm quite sure they thought, "Who in the world is going to notice something less than ideal alignments, even if we do feature it on the
Contents page?"
Caveat emptor!
