About Us

Boom Media acquired Going for Golf in January 2009 and plans to use the magazine as a platform to become Britain’s leading golf travel media company. We re-launched the magazine in June 2009 with fantastic new design throughout and launched the new website in September 2009.

Boom Media is owned by four people who have loads of publishing and golf experience. Between us we have fifty years experience of publishing and ninety years experience of golf.

Going for Golf is Britain’s only golf travel magazine. The magazine is published quarterly and distributed to 1,070 golf clubs across Britain, giving us an estimated readership of 200,000 golfers. Our readers are very active golfers. 91% of them play golf more than once per week and 77% go on two or more golf holidays each year.

It is our intention to tell British golfers about golf opportunities around the world through our magazine and website and give golf clubs and resorts the ability to promote their golf opportunities to our readers.

What our clients say:

From our initial consultation to the point of going to print, I found the Going for Golf team to be thoroughly professional and efficient. The review and advert which they put together for Marriott St Pierre matched my specified requirements in every detail and it is no surprise that the enquiries generated from the feature have been siginificant. We have made 16 group bookings worth £50,000 so far and it has generated more response than any other ad in 2009. Will Hewitt, Director of Golf, Marriott St Pierre

La Manga Club has found Going for Golf to be an excellent vehicle for golf travel advertising and we have been more than happy with the ROI. Macu Hernandez, Director of Sales & Marketing, La Manga Club

Going for Golf offers us a good-looking golf magazine with a flexible advertising platform, underpinned by a sound distribution plan and of course the all-important website. We were pleased with our first campaign for Skycaddie, which integrated our editorial product messaging well with our display advertising. we look forward to doing business with the G4G team many times in the future. Andy Hiseman, Managing Director, Hiseman Limited - agency for Skycaddie
