Hey,
Today is my last day to work at CBS Sports.
I’ve known it for several weeks now, but that still feels like a surreal sentence to write.
We’ll get to a lot of stuff later this week. How I feel about leaving, why I’m jumping into the newsletter as my full time job (!) and maybe even a Q&A with a certain Northern Irishman.
But today, I just wanted to say thank you for reading this ridiculous newsletter over the last year and a half. It has been a dream to write and put together. The most fun work. Just as I could not believe covering golf for CBS Sports was a job when I started at the very end of 2012, I cannot believe this is a job now.
And now my only job.
Thank you for all the feedback, hilarious stories you send me, response to our survey and ways you have spread Normal Sport to friends over the last 100+ editions. The only reason I am able to leave CBS Sports is because this newsletter might actually be a real business!
To that end, anything you can do this week to get your friends/family/distant relatives who are big Si Woo fans (of which there should be many!) to sign up, I would really appreciate it.
This is a big week for me and for Normal Sport. Even before I sent this email, I was talking to a friend about how in three years I might look back on this day and think, “Gosh, I’m glad all of that happened, this business is thriving!” Or I might look back at it in seven months and think, “That was a disaster!”
Truly, who can say.
Which is part of the fun (and terror!)
Me waking up this morning thinking about the future.
Truly the meme that keeps on giving.
If you’re on Twitter, absolutely hammer that RT button on this news, tag buddies, send it to Elon, whatever you need to do.
As one friend said last week, Normal Sport to the moon.
Thank you for everything,
KP
p.s. here’s our new logo, representative of the fact that even golf’s origins — folks smashing objects among a bunch of sheep who were just trying to graze in their own fields and mind their own business — were less than normal.
I love it so much. I hope you do, too.
