(July 30, 2003) - Pub Links Golfer Magazine announces that the upcoming
issue will have an editorial change at the top. Michael Stinton takes
the helm as the new editor as former editor Tom Hyde moves on to new
challenges in New Zealand. Hyde, despite being a world away, will still
contribute to future issues. Andres Sones continues as publisher, Tom
Landers is the Equipment Editor, Laurie Lee Dovey is the Travel Editor
and Claudio Dias continues as the Creative Director.
The upcoming issue of Pub Links Golfer will be the first under new editor Stinton. While contributing to past issues, Stinton is looking forward to bringing the magazine in a new direction.
"Tom Hyde has done a terrific job as editor of Pub Links and we thank him for his efforts. We will miss him but look forward to his contributions from New Zealand," said Andres Sone, Publisher of Pub Links. "Michael has brought some fresh ideas to the magazine and I am happy to move ahead with him as our new editor."
Stinton, a coordinating producer at ESPN, has been a part of the golf world for a number of years. Originally a magazine and newspaper reporter, Stinton began his television career at ESPN in 1988. In 1994, he was part of the original team that started the Golf Channel in Orlando, FL. He was the network's News Manager for 7 years before returning to Connecticut and ESPN in 2001.
As a coordinating producer for SportsCenter and ESPNews, Stinton covers all sports. But he was anxious to return to the golf community and began writing for Pub Links Golfer Magazine last year. His first article on the REMAX Long Drive Contest was awarded the 2003 ING Media Award for Competition. It was the magazine's first ING Media Award.
Stinton, 42, has two children -- Joseph, 12 and Corinne, 9. They live in Southington CT.
