You hear it all the time; most people can't stand their “nine to five” jobs and would do anything to do something they are passionate for as a profession.

Careers in Golf
     There are quite a few different career opportunities in the golfing field. As stated before, there's something for all types of golfers. Becoming a professional golfer takes a lot of skill and discipline. This can be somewhat stressful, like most competitive fields. If you golf just for fun, you could find a golf program that could help you perfect your game. You could even start by simply working at a golf course. Some of those jobs may include:

• Administration/Customer Service

• Ranger (drive around the course in a golf cart and make sure golfers are keeping the pace they should be)
• Mechanic (fixing golf carts)
• Course Maintenance
• Equipment Mechanic
• Promote and Market

You may also want to manage a golf course someday. This would require being knowledgeable in all of these areas. It's best to start small and work your way up. Being a manager, you will be responsible for all your employees, the budget, and your course. It is your duty to supervise your staff and make sure everything runs smoothly for the golfers coming to your course.

Benefits of Working at a Golf Course
      One of the biggest benefits of working at a golf course would be that it's outdoors! You're not cramped up in tight office cubicle surrounded by the chatter of other employees. Being active and outside can also help reduce stress. Working outside at a golf course is not only less stressful than an office job, but you are able to interact with golfers doing what they love to do. Many people use golf as a means of getting away from everything, so these golfers are usually in good spirits. It’s a pleasant social neighborhood that can bring a lot of joy into your life.  So I suppose the real question is if you are an avid golfer who loves the game, why wouldn’t you want to pursue a career in Golf?
