The People Behind ShipSticks: Meet Megan

The Individuals Behind ShipSticks delves into the journeys of our workers, each on and off the course, and the experiences that encourage the work we do for you.

From the second I might wrap my arms round a membership, life was golf. The odor of freshly minimize fairways, the thwack of a well-struck drive, the hum of carts rolling by – such was the soundtrack of my childhood. Most of my free time was spent at Dad’s faculty: eavesdropping on personal classes, pounding vary balls till my arms blistered, hauling trash luggage larger than me (incomes my hold, after all), and becoming a member of the workers for night vary classes, the place the fellows drank chilly beers and I nursed a grape Gatorade.

By highschool, all these hours on the vary had paid off. I used to be competing repeatedly and, a lot to Dad’s dismay, outdriving him. Golf had graduated from a summer time passion to full-on obsession – the type that shapes weekends and futures.

It finally led me to Converse Faculty, the place I performed golf competitively, met teammates-turned-lifelong buddies, and found one other ardour: writing. English majors, like myself, spend a number of time obsessing over compound sentences, Oxford commas, and proofreading roommates’ papers. And someplace between correcting a dangling modifier and attempting to cease 3-putting, I noticed writing and golf aren’t so completely different in spite of everything. Each require rhythm, timing, consideration to element, and a willingness to attempt, fail, tinker, and take a look at once more. 

My love of golf and my love of language ultimately led me right here: ShipSticks, the place I work as a copywriter and content material strategist. I began in customer support after graduating in 2019, studying the ins and outs of the enterprise from the bottom up – answering questions, fixing issues, and seeing firsthand what golfers really want. That basis formed the way in which I method my writing right now: from the attitude of somebody who loves golf (and touring to play it) simply as a lot as you do.

I write content material that helps golfers plan journeys, get there easily, and savor each second on the course. However essentially the most rewarding half is that my writing doesn’t simply sit on-line – it travels with folks. A golfer headed to the Sandhills of Nebraska may use considered one of my guides to plan their journey. A bunch certain for the Sandhills of North Carolina as an alternative might stumble throughout my weblog and resolve to seize a desk on the restaurant I like to recommend after a bucket record spherical on No. 2 – as a result of sure, I’ve tried the meals (and drank one thing stronger than grape Gatorade). The Myrtle Seaside programs I title the perfect bang to your buck? I’ve performed them, misplaced balls in the identical spots you most likely will, and may inform you precisely why they’re price it.

Each weblog, information, and suggestion I share is rooted in a long time of dwelling the sport – from swing suggestions I picked up from Dad to programs I’ve performed firsthand – and written with the identical care I’d put into planning my very own journey.

However my bucket record isn’t gathering mud, both. I’m on the market chasing these subsequent nice golf journeys similar to you, and I hope the work I do right here may be the spark that evokes yours.

Writing about it, sharing it, serving to others expertise it – that’s my manner of leaving a mark on the sport I’ve cherished because the second I picked up that first pink membership.
