Political correctness run amok. Although it is rather an odd cover for a golf magazine.

When I see that cover, I say to myself that the third most dangerous phrase in the world was uttered during the review of the magazine. ‘Trust me.’

‘Oh, yeah, trust me, there’ll be some outcry, but really, we’ll get more subscribers than we lose,’ I’m sure was said. But honestly, the only one who should be sacked here is not the editor, but the publisher that let this go to press. It won’t destroy the magazine, but it’ll hammer in one of the most cherished resources the magazine depends upon - the office subscriber who might just decide that they’ve gone too political for leaving in the lobby anymore.
