Golf Jobs: What A Great Life!
So you've come to love the game of golf. The idea of spending all of your
time on the greens is your idea of paradise on earth. All of
those Saturdays playing your favorite game aren't enough anymore.
For people with this deep love of the game, considering a career in
the golf industry would be a perfect fit. Like any other sports
industry, golf jobs run the gauntlet from caddy to CEO of major
companies.
Many people, such as students and retirees, have found ways to use
their passion to their benefit. Some work as caddies or grounds
keepers to receive paychecks and possibly the perk benefit of
reduced or free golf time. These golf jobs work well for individuals
who need to have flexible schedules to fit around classes, another
full time job, or to leave time to enjoy retirement. Choosing to
work at the local golf course or driving range is an excellent way
to combine a favorite hobby with a paycheck.
Sporting goods stores are another great place to combine the love of
money with the love of golf. Especially during the holidays and peak
golf times, these stores are more than happy to have knowledgeable
people ready to assist their golf challenged clients. Besides the
paycheck, another benefit could be employee discounts of merchandise
that would otherwise be difficult or even impossible to afford. Of
course on the other hand, an awesome golf job would be to own your
own golf store. However, the area you live in must be suitable for a
profitable establishment if you choose to own your own store. Some
of the fringe benefits of this golf job are having the opportunity
to choose specific products and meet a lot of other people who live,
breathe, eat, and sleep golf too.
For the outgoing type of golf lover a career in sales may be the way
to go. Whether you decide to go to work for your local golfing store
selling directly to the public or apply with one of the larger
manufacturers and distributors of golfing equipment and sell to
stores, this golf job would offer the same benefits as sales
positions in other industries. Competitive wages, health benefits,
401K, you know, all of that important stuff. Who knows where
networking within the job may lead? Perk benefits like free golf
time, free or discounted golf equipment, and possibly meeting some
pros of the game are all possible. Merging your knowledge of golf
with a golf job is a great method for thriving in your job and
making ends meet at the same time.
Another often overlooked golf job that may be suitable, especially
for the literary gifted, is that of a sports writer. There are a huge
number of websites geared toward sports and specifically golf on the
Internet. Those great articles come from writers. If you think you
have the right stuff for golf writing, contact the editor or
webmaster and pitch your ideas. You never know how things like that
will turn out. You may end up with a unique golf job that fits
perfectly into your schedule. While the Internet is probably the
fastest means to a golf writing job, don't forget about the more
traditional magazine publications. You will just need to check out
their submission guidelines in the magazine itself, on their
website, or by letter to find out the editor's name and submission
preferences. Writing about your favorite sport would help keep you
current on all of the latest golfing news and be a fun golf job.
Golf jobs are definitely out there if you keep your eyes and imagination open.
Whether you choose to work on the course itself or from the comfort
of your home writing great golf content, it is certainly possible to use your
passion as a means of income.
Improve Your Swing

swing, but what is the best way to go about it?
Improve Your Chipping
The 18th hole is a lengthy par 4 with a tricky elevated green.
You've missed the green to the right on your approach. Your ball
sits about 8 feet off the green in the first cut of rough. The lie
isn't too bad, but it's a tricky shot.
Improve Your
Putting
Drive for show, putt for dough. Relax the nerves, trust your
line. Eyes over the ball, smooth take away. Accelerate through the
ball, and...
