Golf Tattoo: a new online newspaper specialized in golf

Posted on by

The new publication has its own newsroom and contents permanently updated. The direction is signed by Rodrigo Cordoeiro, a journalist with more than 20 years of experience in golf.

Golf Tattoo

Golf Tattoo is a project with a clear goal: to become the major platform about golf in the country. Pedro Castelo Branco, promoter of the project, explains the origin of the new newspaper: “The starting point of this project was the perception of a huge lack of information about golf, both in the traditional and digital formats. Nowadays, internet is the main way of information to most of the people, so we wanted to be born to this new era, the digital one, in which who wants to read us just needs to connect to the internet through a computer, a tablet or a smartphone”.
