While at IU, he was on the Indiana Daily Student sports staff and covered sports ranging from college golf to college football. ESPN’s Lee Corso was IU’s head football coach when Jerry covered the Hoosiers, and he got to know him very well.
Upon graduating from the highly regarded IU School of Journalism, Jerry joined the Daily Reporter in Greenfield, Indiana, as its sports editor. After being with the Daily Reporter for about seven months, he received the Best Sports Reporting award for division II newspapers from the Hoosier State Press Association in 1976.
Even though he resigned from the Daily Reporter at the end of 1977, Jerry eventually returned to the newspaper business on a part-time basis. He covered basketball and football for the Tribune (Seymour, Indiana, daily newspaper) from 1983 until 1986. During that time, he also wrote a weekly golf column for the Tribune entitled Moore from the Fairways.
Jerry; his wife, Kathy; and son, Matt, moved from Seymour to Columbus, Indiana, at the end of 1987. He later began writing a weekly golf column for the Republic (Columbus’s daily newspaper) for a couple of years but quit doing so when it began interfering with his copier sales.
Golf Is More than Your Score isn’t Jerry’s first book. He finished writing Gauntlet Golf in early 2006, and it was published a few months later. Gauntlet Golf is a 221-page novel about a copier salesperson and avid golfer who was a former high school basketball star. One television network was interested in turning it into a movie but later decided to focus on documentaries instead.
In addition to being an avid golfer, Jerry works out regularly at a local gym during the winter months, is an active member of Fairlawn Presbyterian Church, and is an account executive at the Ricoh Americas Corporation. He and his family live in Columbus, and they spend a considerable amount of time with their golden retriever, Nicky.ver menos
