MyGolfSpy Insider Podcast Episode 2: “Hashtag” Chad Coleman – Callaway Golf

My guest on Episode 2 of the MyGolfSpy Insider Podcast is Chad Coleman, Social Media Manager for Callaway Golf. Among his many responsibilities, it’s Chad’s job to make Callaway Golf look good on platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. Always available online, Chad has spent the last several years doing his part to help transform Callaway from a stale and boring brand without an identity to an industry leader and, in many respects, the first modern golf company.

We invite you to listen in as Chad and I discuss a brilliant idea for a MyGolfSpy spinoff, our shared passion for frozen yogurt, and of course, social media in the golf world.
