About Me
I’m Kiel Christianson. I’ve been a travel and golf writer for online and print publications for over 20 years, including 10 years with The Golf Channel. My blog on The Golf Channel website began in 2003, making it one of the first in the golf world. Sadly, it was recently deleted as the new online editor cleaned house. Hundreds of my stories are still live on the GC, though.
