I've got a ton of great projects in the works right now, but I'm really excited about this one:
I'm going to be doing some exclusive blogging at GolfForWomen.Com. GFW is one of my favorite golf sites on the internet and I just love their magazine too, so what can I say? I'm psyched.
I got together with some of the brilliant minds (and low handicaps) behind this golf media marvel last week in Manhattan. They're amazing, interesting women who live and love golf to the fullest and I'm really looking forward to collaborating them.
I'm sure you recognize the lovely Stina Sternberg with me in the photo above. Check out my first GFW post about my lunch in NYC with Stina and the amazing Manhattan golf girls.
Oh BTW, I won't be the only new golf blogger hanging her hat atGolfforwomen.com in the coming months; the engaging GolfGal AND the provactive GolfChick will be blogging there too.
Yep, this is going to be fun, stop by often.
i'd be careful with this one gg. it looks like they are aggragating an audience for their magazine/website by using you and a few other successful bloggers that fit their audience profile. in my experience on the web and with publishers (professionally speaking) they take much and give back very little. i hope yopu stay independent and see where that takes you - you have a unique talent and to think that you'll simply get folded into a media machine with other bloggers, frankly concerns me.
ReplyDeleteGG,
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the WFG gig! If anyone is deserving of this opportunity it is you, GolfGal and TheGolfChick. You have come a long way from when you first stepping into cyberspace. Good luck with this great opportunity.
PS: I am not sure who 'anonymous' is but he/she has a good point. Be careful out there, will ya?
No need to worry... Golf Girl's Diary will rock on, independently.
ReplyDeleteYou'll continue to find my daily posts here, and I'll continue to seek out the cool & unusual in the world of golf.
Golf for Women will simply give me another place to connect with those seeking the not-so-conventional golf stories.
This is great! One more place to read my favorite golf blogger. I for one have NO fear of you losing your identity / independence. GFW is lucky to have your voice and hopefully you'll have some cool opportunities with them too. Rock on Golf Girl.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the new gig!! Hope you have fun with it. (ok - and maybe get some cool swag to go with it !) :-D
ReplyDeleteWhen GFW came out, I touted it as being better than most of the "men's" golf magazines - better writing and a LOT fewer dry-as-a-bone instruction articles on curing a slice in 30 seconds or less.
"Anonymous'" warning has a little merit. Just be sure you're having fun as a contributor and that they aren't tying you down and limiting you on how and where you are allowed to write. If they start to tell you what/when/and where you are (and mostly are NOT) "allowed" to write and post - stand up for yourself or tell them to take a hike. Unless you're expecting/hoping to make a salary at this, you're just doing it for fun and love of the game.
Stina is raking in the bucks with the magazine and Golf Channel work (and probably a hundred other things) - but until she offers you some good money, do it for the fun.
You sure that's Stina? She looks like the chick from murphy brown - you know, kelly ripa's sister.
ReplyDeleteFaith Ford - that's who I'm thinking of.
ReplyDeleteCongrats! In my short time as a golf blogger I can see you're worthy of bigger things. If they offer you bucks I'll act as your agent for below standard. I watch Law & Order reruns all the time.
ReplyDeletegg. i already congratulated you on your new venture. i'm am posting a comment about a great golf site i just found and used.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.clubfinders.com. i recently lost my 7 iron -ouch!- to my set of callaway x-16's which i love very much. i wanted to replace this club so i went to used callaway, ebay, golfsmith, etc. all the usual suspects and nobody had a solo 7 iron to sell. plenty of 6 irons bec. that is the club that manufacturers and retailers use to demo. so i had just about given up when i tried really digging past the first page of a google search and came across clubfinders.com.
i called them and they took my call right in their warehouse, physically located the club with specs i requested, described it as "very good" and i made the purchase. great site, nice people to work with and very effecient process.
thought i'd pass this info along to others who my feel special attachments to their clubs and need a replacement.
I used them before for a Cobra 8 iron that accidentally launched itself into a tree. They are excellent.
ReplyDeleteHey congrats! I'll bet you three increase traffic to their site big time. Hope you get some credit (and $$) for doing it!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the new gig GG! Keep up the great work!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, Pat. Exciting stuff.
ReplyDeleteI read your blog almost every day. This is the first time I am commenting. CONGRATULATIONS!!! That is such awesome news! I love GFW Magazine. It's one of my favorites. Keep up the great work!

ReplyDeleteBe careful with Stina, she turns a lot of people off.
