Joe Logan covers golf for The Philadelphia Inquirer. A native of North Carolina, the award-winning reporter played competitive junior and small-college golf, before conceding that his future was at the keyboard rather than on the tour. A graduate of the University of South Carolina, Logan spent almost two decades at the Inquirer writing about topics as varied as presidential politics to movie stars, before stumbling into his dream job in 1996. He is a frequent contributor to several national golf publications. Thanks largely to his job description, Logan manages to maintain a handicap of just under 5.
