Spot The Difference

There was – and I'm picking my words carefully here – some unease when we discovered that both Sports Illustrated (my former employers) and Men's Health (my current employers) magazines were going to run AB de Villiers on their covers in October.



Luckily, the covers were totally different and the story angles were totally different and it all ended happily ever after.

Which is more than can be said for this month's Golf Digest and Compleat Golfer magazines. They're direct rivals, and their cover stories (Ernie Els Turns 40!) had the identical angle, and – worst case scenario – they both had the exact same image on their cover.



Ouch.
