The concept for “Quick Nine” is to give golf gamblers a behind-the-scenes look into their favorite personalities backgrounds and strategies.

On this week’s episode of Quick Nine, I talk with Geoff Ulrich (@thefantasygrind) about a variety of topics including his start in golf gambling and his job at DraftKings Network.

Topics:

I won’t ask any personal questions but can you tell me about your introduction to gambling and more specifically golf betting?
Off that, how did you get into sports gambling writing?
For golf betting, you focus on the Daily Fantasy Sports (DFS) aspect of things? There are obviously several ways to bet on golf but how did DFS capture your attention?
You’re a contributor/ writer for the DraftKings Network, can you tell me a little about how that came to be?
