It's a case of knowing where your bread is buttered. If Golf Magazine trashed the latest offerings of the big equipment manufacturers, what's the likelyhood that those advertisers may reduce their advertising dollars in that magazine? Very likely. I'm sure the marketing folks at Callaway, Ping and TaylorMade have very long memories and remember those slights made by a magazine. http://www.worldgolf.com/blogs/cbmaxwell/2007/04/21/golf_magazine_testing#c49771
