There are few writers in golf whose words have appeared in as many publications and on as many different “new media” platforms as the prolific Geoff Shackelford. In this episode he tells Rod Morri what the future holds for the game’s media landscape.
In 2003 when Geoff Shackelford launched his self-named blog (www.geoffshackelford.com), both the golf and media landscapes looked very different to today.
However, despite major upheaval in both industries since, the native Californian has remained at the forefront of commentary on the game and its issues.
The blog has morphed into a substack newsletter — The Quadrilateral — and Shackelford is a regular guest and co-host on multiple influential podcasts.
In this chat, Shackelford talks about his start in the sport, the turmoil currently engulfing the professional game and why golf will always be his number-one love.
All of this and plenty more on a special edition of The Thing About Golf Podcast.
