Cover Story

Well currently I'm working at The Cliffs at Keowee Vineyards golf shop and the only magazine I could find is a golf magazine. Go figure!

GolfWorld chose Rory McIlroy for their cover on the June 27th issue. If you keep up with golf or even watch ESPN he is all over it, winning the U.S. Open Championship just a couple weeks ago. He has had quite a few victories and is now ranked 4th in the Official World Golf Rankings. All of this is the reason for the title "THE REAL DEAL" because right now he is probably the most talked about player in golf. The article compares his win to Tiger Woods saying, "The victory it most evoked was Tiger Woods' dismantling of Augusta National and his competition at the 1997 Masters. McIlroy produced the same quality of jaq-dropping shots, but in his own way, a similarly focused will." The article also goes on to talk about how McIlroy has been studying Woods' play and takes techniques of his to make his own. The cover of this magazine also uses the color of the GolfWorld and The Real Deal to connect with McIlroys' shot. The blue from the title of the magazine goes with his blue shirt and the white color of the cover story title goes with his pants. This creates a balance on the cover page. The subtitle of the cover story also starts to tell you that McIlroy is the next big deal because it states that the question, "Who is golf's next great player?" and says that because he won the U.S. Open he is indeed the real deal.
