Jim Dodson Live From Pinehurst

Stories from a career of covering the game, as well as thoughts on golf and media at large

Words by The Golfer’s Journal

Light / Dark

“Back then, you could go to a tournament and players would be willing to go have dinner and pour their lives out to you for 5 hours and you could really write a story about them. By the 90’s you had to go through three layers of agents to do anything.”
Jim Dodson

Jim Dodson has written more than 10 books about golf, ranging from his personal experience with the game to biographies of titans like Arnold Palmer and Ben Hogan. He joined us live at a subscriber event at Pinehurst Resort to share stories from a career of covering the game, as well as his thoughts on golf and media at large.
