SOG Ep 087: Ru Macdonald and the power of Instagram

State Of The Game

Interested in golf course architecture and wondering the best social media platform to indulge your passion? Golf Channel regular, popular blogger and SOG co-host Geoff Shackelford says Instagram is the best and makes his case - with the help of Scottich Golf Podcast host and European Tour Social media team member Ru Macdonald - on episode 87 of SOG. There are a bunch of Instagram accounts menitoned in this episode (find the list below) as well as plenty of good advice on how to use the platofrom fo those who are new to it. Also, keep an eye out for Mike Clayton's promised Instagram Story in coming weeks to promote the 2019 SOG Golf Course Study Tour to Barnbougle Dunes. Follow Mike here and check out details of the Tour, including a brochure and booking form, here. You can follow Geoff Shackelford here, Ru Macdonald here and Rod Morri here (though not much content there yet). And below is the suggested accounts to follow discussed on the show. Full marks to Geoff Shackelford for uncovering Walter Geoffrey the French bulldog, easily the pick of the non golf suggestons!
