About Us

Michael founded this site in December of 2017, but wasn’t able to actively contribute until March of 2019 when his time with TheBigLead came to an end.

Founder & Editor in Chief: Michael Shamburger

Michael got his start in the blogging world way back in 2011 when he founded CFB Section, which covered college football year round. After growing the site to over 1 million pageviews in under four months, he was hired by TheBigLead founder Jason McIntyre soon after he figured out how to make GIFs and quickly transitioned to a full-time role with the site where he began covering golf. He has covered golf for more than 15 years. After getting laid off by Minute Media, who had purchased TheBigLead, he found work with Golfweek Custom Media and for Golf Channel where he covered the World Long Drive until COVID hit.

Michael moved on from media for 3+ years into a more stable career and has enjoyed his free time – as well as being off of social media – and the time he’s gotten to spend with his kids.

He is currently the Editor in Chief of The Stiff Shaft.
