About the Author

AUTHOR LIVES IN NORTH CAROLINA, USA. Mike Purkey was introduced to journalism as a 15-year-old at his hometown newspaper in Gastonia, North Carolina. After college, he went to work at the Gastonia Gazette, holding a number of positions to broaden his newspaper experience. He went on to the Charlotte Observer, where he covered golf, along with college football and basketball. He took on golf full-time as a senior editor at GOLF Magazine, where he served for 13 years. He was one of the founding editors at Global Golf Post, the game's first digital weekly magazine, and eventually became editor-in-chief. Mike is a former president of the Golf Writers Association of America. He is a former winner of an award for feature writing from the North Carolina Press Association and a multiple winner in the GWAA Writing Contest. He lives in Charlotte, North Carolina, where he has a golf handicap too low for his ability.
