After 25 years in the publishing industry in the Midwest, Corey relocated to the coast three years ago to work with the golf industry. He re-launched himself professionally by writing for a golf magazine in Orange County and then founded a blog, socalgolfblog.com, and began blogging for Southern California courses and course groups. He also is the golf content editor for the San Diego Tourism Authority. The San Diego chapter of the Southern California PGA honored Corey with its 2014 media award for his coverage and promotion of Southern California golf.
