The Golfers Journal

I've been a subscriber to the Golfers Journal for a while now and it is typically what my parents get me as a Christmas gift each season. Recently I found out about their discord and joined in. It is a interesting concept and I've taken some time to get into it. There is a lot of content there and being as involved with the forum as I am it is hard to dive into another one. That being said it is pretty interesting and is kinda like an app/forum for their platform. 

I'm curious if we have any other spies who either are part of their discord or subscribers to their journal/magazine?

I have flipped through the magazine and didn’t find it that interesting; but I am not really a big reader.    While I am pretty knowledgeable about technology I haven’t delved into the world of discord.  What, in your opinion, makes either so good?   What types of articles or topics of conversation do you find interesting?

For the magaizines itself I have enjoyed all the behind the scenes, out of the ordinary and course architecture stories they have. Even tho I have them all I haven't read them all as yet. I do have them on display though! 

As for the discord they have made it essentially a forum. Tons of different topics from buy & sell to get togethers, parenting and a whole lot more. It is why I am having a harder time to get into as if I have the choice of spending time on here or there it is always going to be here. That being said with it being a more immediate chat style I can see the appeal to it as well. Part of the reason I'm hoping there are a few spies that can help enlighten me and sort through a lot of it. 

Another example is we have a slack channel for our fantasy sports which is great. Another way to interact with members on that topic specifically. This is essentially that, but for ALL topics we could find on the forum. 

Back to the magazines or journals, the photos they take and the perspectives of some stories are really cool. A street golf one stands out in particular where it was very engaging and made me really want to explore that even though it was somewhere in Africa. 

I started with the podcasts with DJ Pie and really enjoyed those, the stories are outside normal golf which I enjoyed and is what lead me to look more magazines in the first place.
