The people behind Schipsticks Dives into the trips of our employees, both on and off the course, and the experiences that inspire the work that we do for you.
It all started with a set of pink golf clubs. And pink golf balls, pink T pieces and, of course, a pink glove. How else do you get a ten -year -old girl addicted to Golf?
But for me, however, Golf was not exactly optional. My father, Steve Dresser, is a PGA professional who owned and operated the longest-running golf school in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, also known as the golf capital of the world. So if you are a driving range and your playground is the short-game area, it is a bit inevitable that you will eventually swing clubs instead of pirouettes, for example.
From the moment I could wrap my hands around a club, life was golf. The scent of freshly cut fairways, the Thwack of a well-beaten drive, the hum that rolled past was the soundtrack of my youth. The majority of my free time was spent in Papa’s school: eavesdropping on private lessons, bonary balls until my hands blisters, drag waste bags that are larger than I (of course earn my keep), and join the staff for sessions of the evening in the evening, where the boys drank cold beers and I provided a grape gap.
All those hours had paid off at high school. I competed regularly and, to my dismay of daddy, who surpasses him. Golf graduated from a summer hobby to a complete obsession it forms weekends And Futures.
It eventually led me to Converse College, where I played wave competitively, teammates met-lifelong friends and discovered another passion: writing. Just like me, English Majors spend a lot of time obsessed with compound sentences, Oxford commas and the test reading of the papers of housemates. And somewhere between correcting a dangling modificator and trying to stop 3-putting, I realized that writing and golf are not so different. Both require rhythm, timing, attention to detail and a willingness to try, fail, crafts and try again.
My love for golf and my love for language eventually led me here: Shipsticks, where I work as a copywriter and content strategist. I started in customer service after graduation in 2019, learning the ins and outs of the company from the ground – answering questions, solving problems and seeing first -hand golfers really need. That foundation was the way I approach my writing today: from the perspective of someone who loves golf (and traveling to play it) just as much as you do.
I write content that helps golfers to plan travel, get smooth and enjoy every second on the track. But the most rewarding part is that my writing is not only online – it travels with people. A golfer on the way to the sandhills of Nebraska can use one of my guides to plan their journey. A group on the way to the Sandhills of North Carolina can instead come across my blog and decide to grab a table in the restaurant that I recommend after a bucket list round at no. 2 – because yes, I tried the food (and drank a little stronger than grapegatorade). I call the Myrtle beach courses the best value for money? I played them, lost balls in the same places that you will probably do, and you can tell you exactly why they are worth it.
Every blog, guide and recommendation that I share is rooted in decades of the life of the game – from swing tips that I picked up from dad to courses that I played first hand – and written with the same care that I have taken to plan my own journey.
But my bucket list also does not collect dust. I am having to chase those following great wains, just like you, and I hope that the work I do here can be the spark that inspires yours.
Writing about it, sharing, helping others to experience it – that is my way of leaving a stamp at the game I have kept since I picked up that first pink club.
