GolfHound curates news, products and more using good old fashioned human intelligence. The Top 3 Reads is our digital offering and was our very first project. Four years later it's still going strong sending to a golf obsessed audience everyday of the year.
The goal of this offering is to build relationships with our digital audience using a variety of assets that focus on both reach and frequency.
Let me know if I can assist with any questions or if you have interest in learning about the next step.
Regards,
Dave Macpherson, Founder
