Callaway Golf Magazine launches online
Callaway Golf Magazine has launched. Click here to check it out.
On the cover is a story about Rocco Mediate and the new Big Bertha Diablo Driver (and a contest to win one). You can hit the “Contents” button to see other stories inside, plus the arrow keys to scroll to the next story.
This is a welcome addition to the online golf community. The layout is slick, perhaps too slick. It has a lot of nice photos and a few embedded videos to go along with the stories. One minor criticism: The website appears to be written in Javascript/Flash so the interior articles just appear in the popup box, instead of transferring to an actual webpage. For a magazine, this use of Flash is kind of annoying. For one thing, you cannot link to actual webpages containing specific articles. For another, you have to click on the Contents button in order to get to the articles, which you have to click on to get to. The photographs are really great, though, so maybe that justifies the flashy Flash layout. Would be nice to see a few more videos.
