I am creating an article for a golf magazine with pictures and text, how can i make it look professional enough for selling to the public?

Not necessarily. It could be done with Publisher. Heck, it would probably even be done with Paint, if you have the skills. And you can produce pure crap with big dollar programs if you haven't the design skills. (Just look at your local bookseller for proof of that.)

That's a whole 'nuther critter. You could have an acceptable .pdf file of a crappy design. And crappy design is in the eye of the beholder...like what passes for fashion.

If you are preparing an article for a magazine, why are you worried about selling it to the public? That's the mag's job. If you are asking about how to send an article and pictures to a magazine so it (they) will be published, ask the editor. More than likely, they will want the text in a (duh) text document, such as Word or Notepad and the image as a 300-350 dpi jpg, eps or tif file.
