Storytelling. It’s a buzz word. But what does it really mean, and why is it a superpower?

Effective storytelling can help golf brands connect with consumers. How, you may ask? We asked an expert. 

ASU Professor Kim Holst makes a living from words. Kim is a lawyer who teaches law students to write. She is also working on a PhD in journalism. Whether it’s rhetoric, analogy, or persuasion, Kim is fascinated by effective storytelling.

We asked her: If golf wants to expand its reach, how should we tell stories differently?
