GOLF. OUR BACKGROUND
Vanessa M. Price – Founder and Director of Media at Read the Greens, GOLF Media.
Price’s golf entrance started with Aldila Graphite Shafts. In the early 90s, she helped then President Kim Carpenter and Founder Doc, build out the new corporate space and warehouse. As an interior designer, she helped their team with colors, floor plans, cubicle installs, artwork, and more. Being a visual professional, she then helped with graphics, shaft colors, and marketing. Read the Greens, GOLF Media was born and the business grew organically.
She worked diligently with small but burgeoning golf companies in the 90s. Her graphics and product designs helped propel Pro Kennex/Kunnan, alongside her then husband, reach and exceed all sales projections. Her work was included in their international product launches.
The new career path landed her an amazing opportunity to work alongside the golf industry legend – Gary Adams. The inventor of the metal wood and founder of TaylorMade Golf. At McHenry Metals, she handled all public relations, marketing, and advertising. This is where she met company associate Tracy Nackel, who also had the privilege of working with Gary but at Founders Club. The duo collaborate often, bringing the broadest of services to their clients. Collectively, they have over 40-years of combined successful execution of public relations and marketing initiatives.
Read the Greens, GOLF Media has enjoyed decades of golf industry success. Price credits this to her ability to listen, to be creative, to be constructive, and not afraid to tap into her deep well of industry insiders. She revels in her client’s success. It is what motivates her every day.
Price comes to the game of golf naturally. Her Mother is a native of Scotland where her Uncles played weekly. Her favorite Uncle won the Irish Open and she covets the trophy. Her kids are legitimate golfers who enjoyed collegiate golf at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. Both are single digit golfers who play often for business and pleasure.
Price is the family golf hack but her Uncles in Scotland taught her to have fun on the golf course and she abides by their advice. She has been fortunate to play the best courses in the world.
