About the Author
In 1998, after nearly a quarter of a century as an award-winning news correspondent for CBS News, Rob Armstrong retired so that he could teach, write, and golf.
Armstrong spent the last decade of his career as the network's senior radio correspondent in Washington, where he covered Congress, the White House, and national politics. He reported on four presidential election campaigns and covered nine nominating conventions. His assignments took him to forty-nine states, as well as to countless countries around the world. He covered the peace processes in Ireland and the Middle East, and reported on international summitry in Washington, London, Paris, Brussels, Rome, and Moscow.
In addition to reporting for CBS News, Armstrong has also contributed articles to the Washington Post, the Wall Street Journal, and the American Review of Journalism. His golf and travel articles in particular have appeared in Washington Golf Monthly and on the CBS web page.
Armstrong's passion for golf is insatiable. In fact, his annual golfing trips to the Emerald Isle led him to write his first book, "Golfing in Ireland: The Most Complete Guide for Adventurous Golfers." Living and working in the Washington, D.C., area for many years gave Armstrong the knowledge necessary to write "Golfing the Virginias." His most recent home gave him the backdrop for his book, "Golfing Florida's Best."
When not hitting the links, Armstrong divides his time between writing about golf and travel and teaching broadcast journalism at Flagler College in St. Augustine, Florida.
