Referred to as
“one of the Southeast’s most
sought-after and respected golf
writers” by Golfer’s Guide
Magazine, Joel Zuckerman is the
author of five books, with
several others in development.
He has written for more than one
hundred different periodicals
since 1998, including Sports
Illustrated, GOLF, Continental,
Sky Magazine, Millionaire,
Links, Golf International, and
T&L Golf.
But beyond the printed page, his
fast-paced, entertaining and provocative speaking presentations have received
sterling reviews by a wide range of corporate clients, incentive groups, civic
associations and charity organizations. As a member of Golfweek Magazine’s
“America’s Best” Panel, and an individual who has played some 600 courses
internationally, Zuckerman can speak with authority about the finest golf
destinations in the world, the intricacies of rating courses, the overall
difficulty of the game, golf history, the greatest players, etc., and do so in a
distinctively amusing and memorable style.
However, golf can be the medium, and not
necessarily the ultimate message, when The Vagabond Golfer makes a presentation.
The game can also be used to illustrate larger themes. And if so requested,
subjects such as improving customer relations, the benefits of teamwork,
overcoming adversity, sportsmanship and the rewards of an unwavering work ethic
can also be woven into an address. These weightier issues, presented in a
lighthearted manner, are what make his presentations of interest to non-golfers
in the audience, or those with only a casual interest in the game.
Throughout most of the 90’s, Joel Zuckerman was stocking vending machines with
snacks. Now, through a happy accident of fate, he’s stocking bookshelves
nationwide with his various golf titles, filing newspaper columns and magazine
features, and filling conference rooms by virtue of his uniquely irreverent
takes on the great game of golf. His books include Golf in the Lowcountry, Golf
Charms of Charleston and Misfits on the Links, A Hacker's Humiliations and Pete
Dye: Golf Courses.
“Half the time, success occurs because you’re
on the right street corner at the right moment,” is how Zuckerman explains his
unlikely metamorphosis from “candy man” to writer, author and speaker. But his
story of profound life change, of how “the world’s earliest documented midlife
crisis lead to a position as the world’s oldest cub reporter,” is inspiring and
motivating in its own right. |
