A former sports editor who launched his own golf news website after losing his job has urged other journalists to follow in his footsteps. Mark, pictured, launched the site after losing his job as editor for Built Environment Networking and has now gone full-time running the title. “I knew that amateur golf received poor coverage and at its heart, the site simply addresses the need to recognise achievement. “One of the big income drivers will come from launching a series of amateur golf competitions over the next five years and the sponsorship derived from that. “Our first major national event will be launched later this year, complete with a five-figure sponsorship deal.”
