Svenska Golfmagasinet since 2021
In the spring of 2021 Martin was given the chance to run Svenska Golfmagasinet and the dream of creating a Swedish magazine for real golf lovers came into fruition.
Originally two issues were printed in 2021. It then became a quarterly in 2022.
The magazine is distributed to some of the premiere golf clubs and hotels in Sweden and was the official magazine during the 2023 and 2024 Scandinavian Mixed Tournaments on the DP World and Ladies European Tour.

The magazine caters to people who can appreciate the semi-wet and a little smelly carpet in a hidden clubhouse in Scotland, the beauty of finding your ball in a divot after a perfect drive, or who can understand why someone is bragging about having played a very private golf course.
With other words; golf nerds just like Martin.
