The 19th Hole

It's another word for the clubhouse. This is a term used by golfers, when they've finished their round of golf and they'e going in to the club house for a drink and something to eat. It's very much a jokey term, which could be a critiscm as it may not be understood by many people as it's a very local term to Oxfordshire.

FORE

I really like this title as it is catchy and very relivant to the Golfing world, the target audience will instantly relate the word to golf. The fact that the title is only one syllable makes it stand out and creates an impact when read, I think that it really captures the viewers attention and is memorable. At the moment this is the title I will use as it is one I think has the most potential to be really effective. It is also important that I feel this is a gender neutral title as both male and females will relate to the title.

The Driver

I think this would have been a very good title if the target audience was 30 - 40 years olds but I don't think this title works particularly well for a more mature audience. I also don't think this is appropriate for a gender neutral magazine title as for me it sounds a very masculine.

The Back Nine

I also really like this as a title for a mature audience as I think it's quite appropriate as many will be experiencing retirement and taking it easy which is mirrored in the title. However, with the same breath the connations of this is actually quite morbid and could easy be misconstrued to sound offensive to the target audience.

The First Tee

Doesn't really work as a impacting title. The title also doesn't scream golf, even if you know golf you wouldn't necessarily relate the title to a golf magazine. The connotations of this title is actually that it's a magazine about tea and cake maybe, or a slightly upper class magazine about morning tea; which is why I won't use it as my title for a golf magazine.
