The article details the author's journey as the Instruction Editor at a prominent golf publication, highlighting the initial excitement of the role and its perks, such as meeting Tiger Woods. However, despite achieving recognition and leading the brand to success, the author felt unfulfilled and craved deeper meaning in their work. This realization prompted a risky yet bold decision to leave the job and start a new venture, Rainmakers Golf Club, illustrating the challenges and contrasts between the idealized version and the reality of entrepreneurship in golf media.
Golf instruction has always been about trying to mimic perfection - you read or view a 60-second tip online and then go apply it. But I promise you, without any real feedback, most mid-handicappers aren't improving by watching a club pro hit off perfect grass in perfection.
Despite leading the brand to the No. 1-ranked golf site in the Instruction category, I craved something more, and this so-called dream job just wasn't able to fill that void for me any longer.
