Nick Seitz, the former editor of Golf Digest US, has died at the age of 83.
Nick joined Golf Digest in 1967, and served as its chief editor from 1973-82, and then as editorial director of Golf Digest and Golf World until his retirement in 1999.
He was widely regarded as one of America’s most gifted sportswriters and he succeeded in attracting a stable of top writers to the magazine during his tenure, including Dan Jenkins, Peter Dobereiner, Henry Longhurst, Herbert Warren Wind, Gary Cartwright, Brennan Quinn and Peter Andrews.
The Seitz family has requested donations be made in honour of Nick’s name to the Bruce Edwards Foundation for ALS Research.
