The June issue of D Magazine is here!⁠ ⁠ If you’re looking for a weekend escape–no need to travel far or hop on a flight, some of the best getaways are just a short drive away. In our June issue, we cruised north to Tulsa, south to Gavleston, and hit a few more spots in between to find the five best getaways just down the road.⁠ ⁠ Next, flip the page to meet Jerry Habibi, the hardest working man in show biz–who just so happens to live in North Texas. Following his recent role in The Persian Version, Habibi is on a quest to conquer Hollywood, chipping away at the dream each day from the house he shares with his mom and sister in the Colony.⁠ ⁠ Finally, uncover Dallas’ rock-and-roll music scene in the 70s captured by Buddy Magazine’s Kirby Warnock. Warnock details his time working with the magazine’s colorful founder Stoney Burns, and all of the shows and celebrities he covered while submerged in the Texas rock scene.⁠ ⁠ To read the June issue, pick up a copy at a grocery store near you or subscribe to D Magazine here: https://lnkd.in/gY9B3AT7

The May issue of D Magazine is here—and it’s a whopper! ⁠ ⁠ For our cover story, one brave writer consumed “a forest of burgers” to bring you the Best Burgers in Dallas. Yes, you will find a $22 brunch burger in the mix (it’s worth it!), but most of this feature celebrates the simplicity of the griddled classics that cost less than $10.⁠ ⁠ Next, flip the page to take a journey to an African elephant orphanage and read about the adopted Dallas woman who found family on the other side of the world. ⁠ ⁠ Finally, meet Mark Melton, an attorney who started helping people on Facebook during the pandemic and ended up assembling the country’s only group of lawyers focused full-time on stopping illegal evictions–and saving taxpayers millions. ⁠ ⁠ To read the May issue, pick up a copy at a grocery store near you or subscribe to D Magazine here: https://lnkd.in/gY9B3AT7

Good Good Golf is taking the golf industry by storm. Headquartered in Prosper, just a few exits up from the PGA of America HQ, the group of YouTube stars are redefining how young golf fans interact with the sport. They're more than just content creators, though. Their apparel brand is in more than 300 Golf Galaxys and every Scheels location across the country, their Callaway-branded golf balls and putters set a record for fastest Callaway items to sell out, and they're on the prowl for tour apparel sponsorships. The story is featured in D Magazine's April issue, which is all on how Dallas does golf. Here's an excerpt from my story: 2023 was a banner year for Good Good’s growth, but 2024 will be about entering new mainstream media markets. Good Good will be part of the third season of Netflix’s Full Swing. “Netflix was on-site with us at the American Express golf tournament while we filmed with Min Woo Lee,” CEO Matt Kendrick says. He is also pitching around a docuseries on Good Good to different production studios. “The series might live on Netflix, Peacock, or Max,” he says. “But the producers we’re working on this with produced Ozark for Netflix.” In addition, Kendrick says Good Good is in discussions with the Golf Channel to bring The Big Break back. The reality TV show, which aired for 23 seasons from 2003 to 2015, featured aspiring professional golfers competing for exemption status into PGA Tour events or full-time exemptions onto lower-level tours. At 19 years old, an aspiring Tony Finau appeared on the show in 2009. He now has six PGA Tour victories. “We know the content that Good Good puts out through their channels is fun, it’s young, and they are really good at engaging that particular audience,” Glenn Grimshaw, a VP at NBC Sports says. For all companies in golf, it comes down to capturing a younger audience. Grimshaw says the average golf fan who consumes the sport on linear television is in their 60s. But Good Good is capturing the golf audience of 16 to 34 to the tune of more than 820,000 views per video. Callaway struck a seven-figure partnership with Good Good for the same reason. “Our focus is reaching passionate golfers, and the Good Good partnership is huge for us because it allows us to reach a core audience that all golf brands have struggled to reach in the past,” Nick McInally, Callaway’s VP of marketing, says. Additionally, Kendrick says to keep an eye out for a Good Good brick-and-mortar store should the right real estate opportunity present itself. Good Good was in discussions to open its first at the Omni PGA Frisco, but the space was awarded to Vineyard Vines instead. “We’re just this global golf brand that somehow these 20-year-old kids were able to start out of Frisco, Texas. And five years down the road, we will be rivaling the biggest players in the game,” says on-screen talent Bubbie Broders. Read the full story here: bit.ly/4d2XmmO

The April issue of D Magazine is here! Our cover story is all about the new ways that Dallas does golf. The game has become more popular than ever, pushing the envelope and expanding beyond the buttoned-up confines of the country club. The evolution is all thanks to the North Texas courses, clubs, innovators, and influencers teeing off on tradition. Next, flip the page to meet Oren Salomon, the owner of Starship Bagels and the man obsessed with restoring the humble bagel to its Jewish roots. Find out how Salomon crafts the perfect bagel–perfect enough that it beat New York City’s finest for the title of best bagel in America. Finally, dive into the debate over single-family zoning and density in Dallas. We leave emotion out of the equation and stick to the hard data because the city’s future depends on it.

The March issue of D Magazine is here!   Our cover story explores what makes Dallas hair bigger and better than ever. We compulsively curl. We straighten. We braid. We color. We tease. Sometimes, all in one sitting. Why? Because people come to Dallas and still expect to encounter three things: barbecue, the Grassy Knoll, and statement-making hair.    Next, flip the page to read about one Old East Dallas resident’s adventures in turning his front yard into an urban farm. Nathaniel Barrett's pandemic project has taken over his life: a greenhouse full of fruit-bearing trees. Barrett has certainly encountered obstacles along the way, but luckily he knows state law better than the Dallas Code Compliance Office.   Finally, our Excellence in Nursing list is back for another year. We received hundreds of nominations for hard- working, compassionate nurses from all over North Texas. They are all deserving of our thanks. But with the help of nursing experts, we singled out 95 for recognition.    Pick up a copy at a grocery store near you or subscribe to D Magazine now: https://lnkd.in/gY9B3AT7
