Joey O'Connor has been involved in both the golf industry and digital media development for more than 25 years, building a career that blends hands-on industry experience with large-scale online platform creation.
Joey has been playing golf since 1973 and has spent more than two decades as a professional in the golf industry. He is the owner of O'Connor Golf Company and is a nationally recognized golf instructor, custom club builder, and writer. He is the former editor of Golf Club Business and currently serves as the editor of TheGolfIndustry.com. Throughout his career, Joey has competed in professional tournaments and PGA Monday qualifiers, and has worked as a technical representative for organizations including Goldwin Golf and Golf Digest Sports Marketing, conducting demo days for brands such as Titleist, Mizuno, and Ram Golf.
In addition to his work in golf, Joey has been developing online platforms since 1998, when he launched his first personal and golf-related websites. Over the years, he has built a network of more than 100 websites and 200+ social media pages, focused on connecting communities, promoting local businesses, and providing industry-specific resources such as employment and event listings.
Over the past decade, Joey has concentrated heavily on building a digital network across the Conway, Myrtle Beach, and Grand Strand regions of South Carolina, creating platforms designed to support local businesses and highlight what makes the area unique.
After more than forty years living in Greensboro, North Carolina, Joey now resides (since 2015) in Conway, South Carolina - just outside of Myrtle Beach, widely known as the "Golf Capital of the World."
Today, Joey continues to build within both the golf industry and digital media space, combining experience, content, and community-driven platforms.
