All you have to do is look at the ING's advisory board and you will see the name of the award winners. What a scam.

It's simple. In a world where the evening TV news in the big markets, local and network, is determined by focus groups and story by story ratings, then most golf writing and travel writing has no chance in hell of being journalistically sound.
Is there something fishy going on
in golf and travel writing? Probably not overtly, but anyone with a brain and one course in marketing can figure out that it's an "I'll scratch your back if you scratch mine" world out there.
Just put it this way - if a broadcast reporter or anchor for CNN, or a correspondent for the Chicago Tribune, New York Times or Time or Newsweek, was working as a "journalist" AND a
P-R person, they would lose their job.
Pure and simple, you can't do both. And that's why writing awards and other accolades of that kind in the golf and travel industries are worthless and shouldn't even be given a moment of thought.
