About gilovia
An independent magazine for people who play. We explain, we do not sell.
gilovia is an independent English language magazine about golf, padel, tennis and the active life around them: the rules and the etiquette, technique and tactics, kit that actually matters, trips worth planning and the habits that keep a body playing for decades.
Play well. Live well.
Our claim has two halves. Playing well is about understanding the game you are in, from the handicap to the golden point. Living well is about everything that lets you keep playing: moving well, recovering, travelling with your kit and enjoying the clubhouse as much as the court.
What we do not do
gilovia does not sell lessons, equipment, memberships or trips, and no club, resort, academy or brand pays for a mention. We do not rank courses or products. Where we name governing bodies, tours or the major championships, we do so because they are part of how the games work.
How we work
Rules, formulas and figures come from the governing bodies and other reliable public sources and are checked before publication. When something differs from club to club or country to country, we say so. Our tools, such as the Handicap Calculator and the Score Keeper, follow the published rules and run entirely in your browser.
About our images and videos
The images in this magazine were created with an AI image generator and carry a small “AI generated” label. The short films on the home page and in the section heads were generated with an AI video model from those images. They show moods, places and movements, not real people, real clubs or real events.
