Golf Unfiltered Podcast 60: Kyle Porter

This week on the Golf Unfiltered Podcast we welcome Kyle Porter, golf blogger from CBS Sports, onto the show. Kyle and I discuss how he got his start in writing and how he ended up at CBS Sports at a time when the company made a transition from having traditional golf writing to the blogging approach. Kyle takes us behind the scenes in his day-to-day, how he approaches the topics he writes about, and how often he gets to travel to golf tournaments.

We then transition into a discussion about writing in general and the many benefits from expressing one's self through the medium. Kyle is an exceptional longform writer, especially when doing so on topics close to his heart. We share examples of using writing as a form of therapy and remaining centered amid the hectic and difficult nature of life.
