Nick Dimengo: From Golf Editor to Entrepreneur

Starting a business is never easy, but Nick Dimengo knew he had to take the leap. Leaving a high-profile role in golf media, he risked it all to build his brand, Rainmakers Golf Club. Now, he’s turning his vision into reality, one swing at a time.

Nick Dimengo’s Big Career Move

Nick had a job most golfers would dream of. As an Instruction Editor at a top golf publication, he rubbed shoulders with the biggest names in the sport, even sharing a driving range with Tiger Woods and his son, Charlie.

Despite the perks, something felt off. He was gaining recognition as the relatable “face and voice of the average golfer,” yet he wasn’t satisfied. He still craved something bigger after leading the brand to the No. 1-ranked golf instruction site.

So, with a 14-month-old daughter, a mortgage, and a wife who had seen his past business attempts, he made a bold decision, quit his job to start Rainmakers Golf Club.

How Rainmakers Golf Club Stands Out

Golf media is full of quick tips and polished pro swings, but Nick saw the flaws. Most golfers weren’t improving just by watching pros hit perfect shots, Rainmakers flips the script.

Instead of just showing techniques, the brand brings a fresh take on golf content. A three-hole challenge pairs Nick with elite players, allowing them to guide him through real on-course situations. It’s fun, interactive, and exactly what mid-handicappers need.

Beyond content, Rainmakers doubles as a media agency, helping golf brands create and distribute their content. Thanks to Nick’s strong industry connections, Rainmakers quickly became a trusted name.

Nick Dimengo’s First Months as a Founder

The transition from editor to entrepreneur was fast and intense. On his first day, Nick emailed over 20 people and called 100 more, spreading the word about his new venture. Within days, he had meetings lined up and proposals out.

One month in, Rainmakers landed its first client, PureOne, a company specializing in training clubs. Soon after, big brands started noticing. At the PGA Show in Orlando, an industry leader approached Nick about collaborating, marking a major milestone.

The Future of Rainmakers Golf Club

Momentum is building. Rainmakers recently partnered with Athlon Sports, a publisher with a 130K-subscriber golf newsletter. Now, every article features original Rainmakers video content, boosting the brand’s reach.

Nick isn’t slowing down. He’s expanding his team, hiring content creators, and exploring live events, podcasts, and brand partnerships. His motto? “Expansion. Always, in all ways.”

The Risk Was Worth It

Was leaving a stable job risky? Definitely. But for Nick Dimengo, the fulfillment of building something from scratch outweighs the fear. Rainmakers Golf Club isn’t just a business, it’s a movement. And he’s just getting started.
