Anyone else feel like @xOldBenKenobiX needs to apply to be a content hunter? 

[Gaius 4]

Don't tempt me now, I might just have to apply, but then I need to hire a grammar/spell checker to revise my work before posting.

We know there isn't anyone better at sniffing out good stuff on Instagram, that's for sure! 

and @xOldBenKenobiX I think your writing/grammar is fine.  You've put out some great stuff already! 

[MattF 10,740]

I thought about it but I can't say why I'd be good, so I'll just stay being me.

Adjusting a resume is always difficult "this is why I am the best and you should hire me"...No I am not full of myself just confident lol

So...I'm your content hunter.  Why?

I'm 63, play to a six, play extraordinary courses/clubs and have been a investor to some manufactures in the past...in the '90's, Lynx, Adams (both!), Tommy Armour/Ram/Teardrop. In the last twenty years, I've played as well as a +2, and as poorly as a 12. I'm fascinated about the industry and I don't care about what's in my bag as long as it works. I am an advocate and believe in fitting; recently changed my driver as a result to a G425, BUT, kept my 7 year old Mizuno irons for same reasons.  I write well, read exhaustively, think objectively and have some time to do this.  So, repeating a theme, I'm your content hunter.

This sounds like it could be fun.. I am not sure I understand what the content hunter's job is. Is it just to find interesting topics for forum discussion and post them them drive conversation?

Funny, before I saw your post I was thinking of nominating you . Let me know if you need a character reference. I'd be more than happy to tell both @GolfSpy_THV and @Golfspy_CG2 that you're a real character.

Well... You may have missed the instructions at the end of the first post announcing the position, but maybe that won’t hurt your chances... See below for how to apply.

I really appreciate that compliment Bryan.

Despite the fact that I am active on hunting and sharing contests on IG, and my capability of multitasking.

My full time job is very unpredictable, there are very light and easy days, where I might put it about 2 hours of work for the whole day, it is just as easy to have days where I am working over 16+ hours, and clocking in 80 to 90 hours Monday to Friday.

My fear is that I will get stuck on those work blackholes and will not be able to put in the effort and care that this community deserves.

Still it is very tempting.
