Admired and respected golf journalist joins Global Golf Post
Glenview, Illinois –Jim Dodson is back in the game, and in residence at Global Golf Post.
“When I announced to my wife I was returning to write golf,” Dodson said, “I told her there was only one place I would write: Global Golf Post. Their standard for quality golf journalism is unsurpassed in the game today.”
One of the finest golf journalists of this or any era, Dodson will pen columns at Global Golf Post and Global Golf Post+under “The Good Game” moniker. His first piece debuts, unlocked, at GGP+ today.
Observed Jim Nugent, founder and publisher of Global Golf Post, “We are indeed honored to have Jim join us at Global Golf Post. Golf fans around the world will be thrilled to read his golf prose once again.”
For two decades, Dodson was a contributing editor and regular columnist for Golf magazine, and a golf and travel correspondent for Departures magazine from American Express Publishing. During the course of a 30-year writing career, his work has earned awards from the USGA and other industry organizations. In 2006, he was the Louis D. Rubin Jr. writer-in-residence at Hollins University in Virginia. Dodson is a distinguished alumnus of East Carolina University.
Dodson has been a prolific author. Among his most notable books are Final Rounds (1996), The Dewsweepers (2001) and A Golfer’s Life (with Arnold Palmer). He has twice won the Herbert Warren Wind/USGA International Book Award – in 2004 for Ben Hogan, An American Life and in 2012 for American Triumvirate: Sam Snead, Byron Nelson, Ben Hogan, and the Modern Age of Golf, which inspired a documentary by Golf Channel with a script written by Dodson.
