Matt Cardis - Founder, Golf In Your State

Matt Cardis is a golf vagabond. For the past four years, he’s been traveling across the country in search of great golf and good people. He shares his stories from the road via beautiful photography and stirring video under his Golf In Your State brand. I've been fortunate to know Cardis for a few years now and I'm always impressed by the stories he tells through his lens. I like to call him the Forrest Gump of golf content creators. Every time there is a gathering of interesting folks somewhere in the game, Matt is sure to be there. Even though 2020 made golf travel difficult, the pandemic did not slow Cardis down. In fact, he executed one of the biggest deals of his career. Partnering with the USGA, Cardis produced the US Open Trophy Tour video series in which he took the fabled silver cup across the country. Cardis stopped at eight different former host courses and eventually delivered the trophy to Torrey Pines - the home of the 2021 US Open. Now, as 2021 begins, Cardis and I had a great conversation about his adventures, what makes golf such a great game for connecting with new people, and what plans he's making for the year ahead. He also shared some amusing hacks he uses when traveling and reflected on the rewarding nature of his life on the road. Just talking with him has me ready to take a golf trip somewhere soon.
