Leatherman,
Staff Writer
Dale Leatherman is a full-time freelance travel writer specializing in golf and adventure travel. For nearly 20 years her "beat" has been the Caribbean, where she can combine golf, scuba diving and other sports. She has also written about golf in Wales, Scotland, Australia, Costa Rica, Canada and the U.S., particularly the Mid-Atlantic region.
Dale is a regular contributor to LINKS magazine, and writes for other national publications such as Continental, Meetings & Conventions, Journey, Caribbean Travel & Life. She writes golf advertorials for Travel & Leisure, Travel & Leisure Golf, and The L.A. Times. A member of the Golf Writers Association of America (GWAA), she is also on the national board of the Society of American Travel Writers.
Having "horsed around" as a professional show jumper and coach before becoming a writer, Dale keeps her hand in the equestrian lifestyle as co-content editor of www.EquiSearch.com.
In 1990, she collaborated with 1930s tennis star Alice Marble in a revealing book about Alice's climb to the top of the tennis world and her secret career as a spy for the U.S. Army during WWII. Courting Danger, published by St. Martin's Press, is under movie option.
Dale lives at West Virginia's Snowshoe Mountain Resort and plays regularly at the resort's Raven Golf Club, one of the country's finest mountain courses.
