Golfweek editor gets hung out to dry

I was getting tired of hearing about this story...until...Golfweek decided it would be a good idea to put a big picture of a noose on their cover. I mean, com'on, it's a big photo of a noose on the cover of a golf magazine. Put 2 and 2 together and you've got an absolute bonehead of a move.

Since when did Golfweek turn into a tabloid, anyway?

In the end, editor Dave Seanor was sent to the gallows and was replaced by Jeff Babineau. Kinda feel bad for the guy, since the entire golf industry has pretty much kicked his feet from underneath him. Ok, I'm sorry. Seriously though, this slip up could have some costly repercussions for the golf rag. The PGA Tour has considered pulling expensive ads and don't expect to see any Nike or Buick ads in there any time soon. (Palm Beach Post)
