Golf is a frustrating sport and those who have played the game a few times know how difficult it can be to improve. Getting the swing just right, learning the correct way to putt, finding the right irons and golf balls, and much more are important to improve one's skill and confidence.

If improvement is your sole interest, then Golf Tips is the magazine for you. This magazine, unlike other golf publications, dedicates almost all of its pages to improvement. In fact, Golf Tips could almost be considered a collection of instructional departments because most every department and article in each issue contains direct instruction and/or advice on improving one's game.

As far as the advice goes, Golf Tips is a good magazine and it tries to cover different aspects of the game in the same issue, so readers can find a relevant article that relates to their own problems. Maybe your trouble spot is putting. If it is, there is likely a putting article someone in the current issue. Another person might be having trouble perfecting his/her swing and if so, there are plenty of helpful articles that include diagrams so readers will know exactly what to do.

Other magazines include diagrams to illustrate proper maneuvering of the hands and body when swinging a golf club but Golf Tips takes this a step further. It includes not only picture depicting the right way to do it, there are also pictures showing what not to do. With some of these, Golf Tips will make sure the casual reader knows which photo depicts the wrong way to swing by showing a red circle with a line through it (same symbol you find on certain traffic signs), superimposed over the picture. With these pictures, there is no doubt in the golfer's mind what he/she is not supposed to do.

Overall, Golf Tips is a good magazine for someone whose primary interest is improving his/her game. There are other magazines that include some instruction on the game, but Golf Tips concentrates most of its pages in this area. I prefer a more balanced golf magazine like Golf Digest but I can certainly see how Golf Tips could come in handy. The advice is written like a pro, and it covers many different problems in each and every issue.
