Brand new GOLFDIGEST.COM !

[Gdmichael]

Relaunched as of July 2, 2007

As you can imagine, we have been consumed by the huge effort to relaunch Golfdigest.com. We hope you like the changes and the new look. You may find that some of the links previously posted on GolfWRX don't work. Over the next few weeks and more we will continually be moving more material to the new site. Not everything will be moved, but we will fix the links posted on golfwrx for everything that is moved.

Now that the launch is done we will gradually be able to step up the flow of fresh material to the Golf Digest forum on golfwrx. New pieces are on the way!

[oregongolf]

love the look man.

[bombaway]

Where are the swing sequences with the videos?

[Asleep]

The new GolfDigest.com! <--- Click here!

 

Looks good, guys.

 

 

 

remember to "ABL"....always be linking. ;)

[Gdmichael]

Bombaway,

 

Do a search for swing sequences, filter the results by video and you will find them. I've got 25 or 30 reworked for the new site so far. The remainder will get done over the next few weeks. The articles that accompanied them will also follow shortly.

 

Keep the comments coming!

Well done. I've long hoped that GolfDigest would catch up.

[littlepingman]

Much for professional looking. And seems like it will easier to navigate when I get used to the layout. ;)

Where is the Golf Digest Handicap???? Please say that is not lost because I have over 150 rounds over 4 years on there. Help. ;)

[SheriffBooth]

Has anyone found where the What's in the Bag winners bags are now? If so, can you post a link?

[Birdie Retriever]

You need more links to golfwrx.com...I finally found the link after going to forums and scrolling all the way to the bottom of the page.

 

How about a golfwrx banner on every page ;)

[Left_GoinLefter]

Yikes!!! No more handicap calculator?

Michael,

 

The new GD site looks terrific.

 

Your friends at UST

[Gdmichael]

Thank you! Much appreciated!

 

A lot of work remains. We will be moving archived material over for months! Every piece has to be entirely reworked and of course kinks keep popping up!

[sandwedge]

Can you tell me how to get to the archived articles? I liked being able to see the cover of each magazine and click on it to get to the articles in each issue.

[Bulldozer]

The "best places to play" was one of the greatest things on the web, and now it's lacking a lot of functionality. The search by zip, with distances, was so helpful.

 

Sorry to be so harsh, but who cares if it looks better if it's unusable?

[Tigersworld]

I know its been posted but as Mel Gibson would say "Give me back my What's in the bag!!!" :aggressive:

Did you use this link?

 

http://www.golfdigest.com/courses/places

[Gdmichael]

The archives ae gradually being rebuilt. For the contents of current issues and past issue a search for "Table of Contents" should bring them up. Also, you can use the sites search function to find articles that may have been brought to the new site, but not listed in an archived TOC

 

The current issue of GD TOC can be found by going to the magazine page and clicking on the link near the top of the left hand column.

 

The current issue of GW TOC can be found by going to the golfworld page and clicking on the link about halfway down in the left most column.

[Bulldozer]

Did you use this link?

 

http://www.golfdigest.com/courses/places

 

Yes. The old one sorted by distance from supplied zip.

[mygolfbuddy]

You can use the MyGolfBuddy.com course locator over in the Golf Style playing partners subforum to search for courses sorted by distance from a certain zip code.

I started a topic about an issue with the new GD.com but now that I've found this one, I'll just put it here.

 

Mods, please delete my other topic if necessary.

**********************************************************************************

 

Went to the Golf Digest web site today after a couple of weeks layoff and really like the new look. It will take a little getting used to, but overall it's not bad at all. However, there is one area where GD REALLY dropped the ball: swing sequences.

 

It seems that with the new layout, you went to a new software(?) for the sequences making them futile to view frame-by-frame. Before the site redesign, you could select a sequence and move the slider side to side and the video would advance or rewind at the same time, allowing you to look at different positions in the swing. Now you can't do that. The video is jumpy, skips frames, and is no where NEAR as smooth and useful as it was before. What has the website done differently to ruin such a great feature of the site? Please say they have noticed this and are working on correcting it!

 

:drinks:

[carlfred]

Not sure if Golf Digest is in the repair shop today, but I can't find the site anywhere. Pretty confusing. I've been lookig for swing sequences, but I may as well go back out and hit.

 

Golf Digest need a couple extra IT guys to get this thing working???

[Bullet Tooth]

For what its worth, I really miss the Ron Whitten Review Library. I always liked reading about his experiences with each course. I hope his reviews are part of the archived material that will be added to the new site over the next few weeks.

 

I also hope the "Best 99 holes in golf" article makes the cut as well. I am going to a course in a couple of weeks that had 3 holes on the list, but now I can't access the article to see which ones they were. Oh well.

[Gdmichael]

We are gradually rebuilding the archives. Try to be patient with us.

 

Thanks!

I have problem with visiting Golfdigest.com, I have Symatec Antivirus program running and whenever I visit the site, it freezes and closes all my IE windows. I need to turn off the Symatec to visit the site without problem. Never had this problem with old GD webpage...

[golfebj]

Where are the "What's In My Bag" archives?

Agreed! In addition, the videos seem smaller, and watching a 20 second ad EVERY time i want to see a 2 second swing sequence makes browsing the swing library a time consuming and irritating process.

[titaniummd]

I love your new design but I miss seeing the back issues. There were times I would refer to an article but now they don't exist.
