Divot Communication Corp, publishers of The Best of Northeast Golf (annual), New York Golf (semi-annual), Garden State Golf (NJ semi-annual), Commonwealth Golf (MA semi-annual), Connecticut Golf (annual), Vermont Golf (annual), & New Hampshire Golf (annual) is embarking on its fifteenth year of publishing what have become known in the industry as the finest Regional Golf Lifestyle Magazines in the country.

By reaching this fifteen year milestone, Divot has the distinction of being the longest running Regional Golf Publishing Company in the northeast and one of the longest running in the country. During this impressive run, Divot has enjoyed steady growth from year to year both in revenue and number of publications to the point where they are now one of the largest Regional Golf Publishing Companies in the country.

2005 saw their portfolio expand to nine publications with the release of The Best of Northeast Golf. This publication is the direct result of a six month survey conducted with their readership of over 1.2 million. The survey asked readers to give their choices for the best Golf Resorts, Private Courses, Public Courses New Courses, Golf Schools, Golf Course Communities, Golf & Spa Resorts, Clubhouses, Golf Destination Areas (in the northeast) & Winter Golf Destination Resorts (outside the northeast). The publication was incredibly well received with readers clamoring for the 2006 issue which releases in January.

Divot's impressive portfolio of publications will increase yet again in 2006 with the addition of a second issue of their Massachusetts publication, Commonwealth Golf. “With Massachusetts advertising revenues exceeding our expectations in 2005, it is clear that the market can easily support a second issue” says Publisher and Founder, Ben Hale.

The fifteen year milestone is particularly impressive given that during that time, there has been more than a dozen Golf Publications launched in the northeast, and the majority of those lasted less than two years. In the highly competitive arena of Golf Publishing, Divot has truly set themselves apart from the competition both in longevity and in the quality of the product.
