#GolfChat Authors

For weeks we’ve been teasing that something big was coming to #GolfChat and today it’s time to unveil what @connectgolf and I have been working on . . . a #GolfChat Authors page.

A few weeks ago we reached out to a select few #GolfChatters with the idea to write monthly on a specific topic and so many of you jumped on board right away.  (If we didn’t approach you and you think we should have, you have complete authority to let @connectgolf know).

The purpose of the #GolfChat Authors monthly postings are to generate discussions about golf that will help to grow the game and inspire others to become involved.

@connectgolf put in a lot of work to make this happen so be sure to thank him when you get a chance and look for more opportunities to submit work via our #GolfChat Authors group.

Our first #GolfChat topic was:

“Golf isn’t dead, it’s cyclical. When is the next up-cycle & what will it look like?”

And we received articles from:

  • @tonyjdear – Golf Emerging from its Dark Tunnel
  • @golfbandwagoner – I Think I Killed Golf
  • @zebwelborn – Is Golf on the Back 9?
  • @onerandomaussie – Golf’s Evolution and Education
  • @todd_fitness – Golf Isn’t Dying, It’s Evolving
  • @regripped – A Vision for Golf’s Future

And you can read them all right here – http://www.golfchat.org/authors/

Top 10 of 2015

10. Share Your Passion Scholarships

We have kept in contact with many scholarship winners and are still inspired by them. They continue to work towards following their passions and helping better the lives of others. This year we awarded 3 Share Your Passion Scholarships and gave out our first Student of the Year Scholarship Award to one of the hardest working students at The Tutoring Solution.

9. TV Appearance

6. #GolfChat

At the beginning of this year Zeb started #GolfChat. #GolfChat is a Twitter chat which happens every Tuesday at 5PM PST where some of the greatest minds in the golf industry come together to talk golf. #GolfChat has grown drastically since the beginning of the year and is a trending topic on Twitter every Tuesday. We’ve met so many amazing and passionate people working to grow golf.  A highlight of #GolfChat in 2015 was when professional golfer, Natalie Gulbis surprised #GolfChatters by giving away free tickets to the U.S. Open at Chambers Bay Golf Course.
