Golf Course Jobs

As with all jobs, working at a golf course has its pros and cons.

• Discounted golf
• Discount in the pro shop
• Relationships with other courses
• Work with friends
• Work outside, fresh air
• Weekend work
• Early morning shifts
• Labor intensive

• DESCRIPTION Golf Beverage cart operator
• SOURCE MediaNews Group Boulder Daily Camera

The beverage cart operator drives around the golf course and sells beverages (alcoholic and non-alcoholic) as well as snacks to golfers during their round.

If you like being outdoors, are good at quick banter, and can tolerate the spectrum of golfer emotions, you might be a good fit for this position.

Ever wonder what happens to your golf cart after your round? A cart attendant cleans it inside and out and gets it ready for the next group to use. They are also responsible for charging the carts (if electric) or fueling them up (if gas powered).

If you mostly like to avoid interactions with golfers, and like the perk of small tips that can really add up throughout a day, consider pursuing a position as a cart attendant.

This position gets players started on the course. They usually collect receipts, take the number of your golf cart, and let you know any pertinent course information for the day. The starter is also responsible for communicating pace of play expectations.

The starter can really set the tone for a golfer's experience at the course on any given day, so if you're good a creating a light, fun atmosphere, you might make a good starter.

The ranger is essentially the on-course enforcer. Rangers enforce pace of play, local rules, and etiquette, and handle any on-course issues.

As a ranger, you spend most of your time on the golf course, typically in a cart. This position is best for someone who doesn’t mind keeping order and voicing themselves.

• SOURCE Chris Ryan

A caddy is a great position to start in the golf industry as a youngster. Being a caddy is a great way to get to know members, learn the golf course and the game, and earn tips along the way. If you become a reputable looper, members will request your services.

RELATED:  How to Be a Good Caddy

Most golf courses have a General Manger or Director of Golf. This is the highest position at a golf course and usually oversees all staff related to the golf side of business. Responsible for profits and loss, as well as daily operations, this position usually requires a degree in business management or golf course management, and has previous experience in a similar position within a golf course setting.

• DESCRIPTION Head golf professional leading a youth clinic
• SOURCE kali9

A head golf professional is usually a certified PGA or LPGA instructor. They give lessons, lead golf clinics, and oversee other golf professionals on staff.

Show Your Personality

Table of Content

What are the Main Jobs on a Golf Course?

Can you work casually as a summer job on a golf course, is working on a golf course a good job, is working on a golf course hard, what is the best job at a golf course, what should i wear to work on a golf course, are there any perks to working on a golf course.

If you’re a member of a golf course, it probably hasn’t escaped your attention that there are so many members of staff behind the operations at your club.

People are employed in the pro shop, on the course itself, and in the restaurant and bar at your course, highlighting the diversity of jobs on offer at a golf club.

Here, we explore what it’s like to work at a golf course and explain some of the different jobs that you can apply for.

By the end of this article, you will have all the information you need to decide if working at a golf course is for you and will be ready to enter the job market this summer.

There are different jobs available at a golf course. You can work as part of the greenkeeping team, in the hospitality sector, or in the pro shop. Some bigger golf courses also have jobs available at the head office, be it managerial or administrative roles.

Ultimately, working at a golf course can be an excellent way to earn money, be it as a part-time or full-time role, and there are so many job opportunities to choose from. Just be mindful that many golf course jobs are seasonal, and you’re more likely to find employment during the summer months.

In this article, we explain in detail what working at a golf course is actually like and how to apply for a job at a golf course near you. Let’s begin by looking at the seasonality of golf course work and how it can be to your advantage.

Yes, In the summer months, golf clubs require more staff to work out on the course itself, ensuring the greens, fairways, and other areas are in excellent condition.

Golf is a seasonal sport, and while courses require year-round maintenance, you will find that opportunities are more prevalent from the start of spring until the end of autumn.

The same is true in hospitality. As more golfers play during the summer months, there’s a need for more team members in the bar, kitchen, and other hospitality roles. This opens the door for seasonal workers to land summer jobs at local golf courses as demand for the course’s services increases.

So, no matter the role that you’re looking for at a golf course, you’re likely to find seasonal work at your local course. It’s a good idea to apply for a role in spring, so you can beat the rush and get a position lined up for those busy summer months when you’re not at school.

If you love golf, then working at a course is likely to be advantageous and a great job!. You can interact with fellow golfers, and you will probably also enjoy a range of perks as a result of your employment.

That being said, working on a golf course can be hard work, and it certainly won’t be plain sailing. Whether you work out on the course or are part of the hospitality team, you will probably have to work long hours.

Still, your job will probably have lots of variety, and you will be able to enjoy a broad range of perks of your employment. This could include free golf or at least reduced green fees, and you may also qualify for discounts in the bar and restaurant.

Overall, working on a golf course can be a super job, whether you are employed full or part-time, particularly if you love golf.

Yes, working on a golf course can be hard work. If you’re part of the greenkeeping team, you will have to work hard to keep the course in good shape all year round, which is likely to involve working outside regardless of the weather conditions.

What’s more, golf course members are demanding of high standards, so as part of the staff, you will be required to maintain these high standards in every area of your work. This includes when performing your daily tasks and when providing customer service.

Working in hospitality or bookings at a golf course can also be a tough job. There’s a lot to think about as far as the systems are concerned, and you will need to make sure you provide an exceptional level of service.

Overall, working on a golf course isn’t any more difficult than working at any other leisure facility, but it does require hard work and commitment, and you will need to maintain good standards to impress the members of the club.

Many people aspire to work as golf professionals at golf courses, and it’s a highly sought-after job throughout the US. The course professional is responsible for managing the pro shop, giving lessons, and a range of other daily tasks.

Aside from the professional, working out on the course as part of the greenkeeping staff can be particularly rewarding if you have the right qualifications and experience. Maintaining a golf course requires specialist skills, and getting it right is exceptionally rewarding.

What’s more, if you’re a professional in the hospitality sector, you might covet a job as a supervisor or manager in a bar or restaurant.

In other words, there are so many good jobs that you can apply for at golf courses, and you will need to consider your skill set before applying for the most suitable job for you.

Your uniform and attire will largely depend on the role that you hold at a golf course. For instance, the head professional at a golf course usually wears golf attire, as do other members of staff within the pro shop.

If you’re part of the greenkeeping staff, you will be required to wear outdoor clothes and hard-wearing boots. You will probably need to invest in a decent pair of waterproofs, depending on where in the country your golf course is located.

Conversely, if you’re employed in a bar or restaurant, your uniform is likely to be different. Most bartenders and waiting staff wear smart clothes, but again it will largely depend on the uniform requirements of the golf course in your area.

Ultimately, it’s important to check with your employer if there are any uniform requirements before applying for a job, so you can show up to your first day of work in the correct attire.

There are lots of perks to working on a golf course, including:

• Free membership or reduced green fees for all staff.
• A discount to use in the bar or restaurant.
• The opportunity to work in an environment where your favorite sport is played.
• Daily interactions with different people and an excellent opportunity to network with members who come from all walks of life.
• Opportunities for progression and promotion depend on the department in which you work.
• If the golf course you work at is part of a chain, you could also be eligible for nationwide discounts and perks.
• Most golf course workers receive good tips from the members.

If you land a job at a golf course, there are lots of potential perks. While the salary might not be high, there are lots of benefits associated with most golf course jobs, which can more than make up for your level of remuneration.

There are so many jobs you can apply for at golf courses across the country. Whether you’re a talented golfer, bartender, or greenkeeper, you will be able to find employment at a local golf course.

Another great thing about golf course jobs is that they are often seasonal, meaning they’re ideal for students and those looking for employment at specific times of the year.

Overall, if you’re a fan of golf, working at a golf course can be extremely rewarding and is an excellent way to make money.

How to get a job in golf: Eight stories from people who found a way to live their dream

Life as a shaper has taken Angela Moser all over the world. It’s an artist’s work: The bulldozer is the brush.

“A shaper is a heavy-equipment operator with a passion for and an understanding of golf and golf-course architecture and its history,” Moser says. “A shaper doesn’t just work off architectural plans but develops ideas and tries to integrate the golf course into nature. It shouldn’t be the other way around. Nature shouldn’t be too adapted for the course. We’re minimalists. We’re trying to not change the world.”

Moser, who lives mostly nomadically, loves her work—starting with an idea and playing with it, trusting her instincts, sculpting the dirt and feeling the ground until it’s ready to be enshrouded in greenery.

“It’s a process,” she says. “You work on it and jump out of your machine to look at it. You walk from different directions and check the look and playability from different angles. You really chew on it until you can’t find anything that you don’t like. Besides, you play a bit of dirt golf in the process.”

As a teenager, Moser played in tournaments and remembers a particularly gnarly par 3 over water. “This kicker slope fed into this really tough pin position,” Moser says. “I thought, This is the coolest thing ever . Everyone else was like, ‘What’s wrong with her? What a weirdo.’ ”

She learned that her passion had a name: golf-course architecture, though it wasn’t a popular field in her native Germany. After getting her degree in landscape architecture and working at an Austrian design firm, Moser believed that there must be “something else out there.” She Googled “best golf courses” and, after some digging, sent an email to Tom Doak asking about internships. He answered, offering her a position with the Renaissance Club’s design in Scotland. “He made sure I understood the internship was on a construction site,” she says. “I was like, ‘I can’t wait.’ ”

It was her first time using a sand pro, excavator and dozer. “That was my start in the dirt,” Moser says, “getting a taste of what shaping and building a golf course means.”

To those searching for their big break, Moser’s advice is to find people whose work you admire, whether through Instagram or Twitter, and message them. “Share your thoughts, your interests and explain what you’re looking to do,” she says. “I wrote one email, and it changed my life. You only have to have the courage to make that first step.”

TENDING TO THE GRASS

LAND THAT I LOVE The best part of being a super? “You get to work with Mother Nature,” says Yale’s Jeffrey Austin.

“The opportunities are abundant in our industry right now,” says Brian Green, director of golf-course maintenance at Lonnie Poole Golf Course at North Carolina State University. “There’s a shortage of maintenance employees all the way from general labor to supervisors.” This staffing issue can be attributed to pandemic-related labor shortages that have been felt across all industries, as well as a reliance on foreign-born workers who are no longer available for employment because of changing immigration policies.

As a university course, Lonnie Poole relies on students who enjoy being around golf, but they often don’t know how to keep the course running. Like other courses, Lonnie Poole also hires a team of grounds technicians who do everything from daily course setup to running equipment. “It’s a great way to start,” Green says. From there you can specialize, often by learning on the job to become an irrigation or equipment technician, pesticide applicator or horticulturalist. Though greenkeepers don’t require any specific education, experience in sports or landscaping helps. Many grounds technicians who work their way up to become superintendents pursue higher-education degrees and certificates in golf-course management. Green wasn’t sure what he wanted to do after high school, so the Durham, N.C., native took classes at a community college before learning about NCSU’s turfgrass-management program and finding his calling.

“As is the case with most occupations, there’s a little bit of science and a little bit of art involved,” says Jeffrey Austin, superintendent at the Yale Golf Course in New Haven, Conn. “It’s a job that you can’t know everything.” Austin came to greenkeeping in his mid-20s, later than most, he says. Earlier he studied political science and wound up working for a senator. After one year he realized he hated being in the office and took a summer job working at a course to make ends meet. He thought, You can’t grow grass for a living ! Once he realized he could, he went to school for turfgrass management and has spent 18 years working on various courses, including four as an assistant-in-training superintendent at Augusta National.

Like so many superintendents, Austin agrees that the best part is working with Mother Nature. “You have to trudge through a lot of mud to get to the ultimate goal,” Austin says. “But I’m still doing it. I still have my work boots on.” As a bonus, “there’s lots of free golf,” Green says. “We try to look out for other people in the industry.”

MYSTERIES OF THE DEEP

TREASURE HUNTER Brett Parker retrieves roughly 1.3 million golf balls from water hazards each year.

In the pitch black of zero-visibility water hazards, diver Brett Parker follows a grid pattern, often for up to 12 hours at a time, feeling for golf balls with his hands and avoiding logs, broken bottles, barbed wire and 60-pound snapping turtles. It’s an art, he says, and one that requires experience. Even without markers or sight, you must always know where you are and where you’ve been, or you’ll miss a ball, which means fewer dollars in your pocket. “When I get into it,” Parker says, “I can stay in all day. My philosophy is, if I don’t get them, someone else will.”

Growing up in Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe), Parker had never heard of letting golf balls sink; the second they hit the water, kids would snag them for a penny. It wasn’t until he moved to Florida in 1986 and saw players haphazardly hitting balls into the water one after another that he thought he had an opportunity. Only one complication stood in the way of his lucrative career plan: alligators.

“Coming from Africa, we dive with crocodiles. Alligators are generally more docile.” Besides, he says, once he’s in the water, “I find the dark comforting. If I can’t see anything, then they can’t see me.”

Parker started diving at 16 while working at a cattle ranch in Rhodesia, salvaging valuable items like fallen boat outboard motors. “When you’re young, you’re kind of stupid, not seeing the value of life,” Parker says. “But recovering a $60,000 boat engine could net you $1,500, the equivalent to five months’ salary in those days.” When he moved to Florida in his 20s, he attended diving school and earned his license.

Parker, now 62, is one of only a few (five, he reckons) skilled professional golf-ball divers in the country. “There’s no young people coming in,” he says. “We are a dying breed.”

If you stick with the profession and hone your skills, you can find, as Parker does, 1.3 million balls annually, bringing in about $150,000. As far as equipment goes, the tools range from diving gear (license, regulator masks, fins, weight belts, suits for different temperatures, scuba tanks and catch bags for collecting golf balls) to a truck and trailer. Because Parker spends so much time under water immersed in hazards from poisonous cottonmouth snakes to bacteria to herbicides, he always carries a snake-bite kit, Sudafed, Vitamin C, potassium (for cramping), Pepto Bismol and hydration drinks. He also makes sure to get frequent tetanus shots. To dig through muddy waters where the balls are often trapped and hidden, he layers garden gloves over surgical ones to keep his hands warm and prevent minor cuts and infections.

His best find? A 130-year-old ball from 1895, which he did not sell. He has also discovered a Mercedes, empty safes and guns. (He often has to pause his work to call the police.) As he views it, he’s providing multiple services to the community, making the waters a bit safer (and litter-free) for all those snakes, turtles—and gators.

PLANNING THE JOY

Before starting his golf-tour operating company, Jason Kauflin played all the best courses in Wisconsin. “I was a stay-at-home dad,” he says. “I was raising kids.” When his buddies asked him to plan a guys’ trip, he was all too eager. “I had all the time in the world to organize this.”

By 2008, his group had grown to 44 players. He was still in “small-group mode,” signing each person up for a rewards card with the rental-car dealer, for example. He laughs about those days now. This year, he’ll organize 90 groups through his company, Wisconsin Golf Trips, with $1.8 million in gross sales. He learned how to run his business by taking online courses in subjects like search-engine optimization and website design, and, of course, by playing golf, befriending club pros and building relationships across Wisconsin.

“Never having started a business before, you have to be willing to just say, ‘I don’t know where to go or where to find this,’ ” he admits. “I treated the business like it was Home Depot and said, ‘I don’t know how to do this.’ ”

Kauflin knew he would be running his business mostly online, so he focused on nailing the design of his site. For example, his homepage features a photo of himself smiling on the course, leaning against his clubs, connoting, he says, the kind of personalized attention he likes to give his clients, which could be a group of high-rollers flying private or a single player with a modest budget. He spends most of his time writing the pitch itinerary email he sends up-front. He pays close attention to the writing style, filling the emails with links and photos. Though he’s usually in communication with only one head planner, this email is the way he must win over the group. “The golf courses sell themselves,” Kauflin says. “You’re buying me. You’re buying the fact that you’re going to trust me with your money and your time.”

Kauflin is an in-bound operator, which means he brings people to Wisconsin. “I have many friends who are solely out-bound operators, taking you to out-bound destinations,” Kauflin says. “I don’t feel comfortable booking a group unless I know the area.”

Five years ago he joined the International Association of Golf Tour Operators and has teamed with colleagues in other parts of the country to expand his business to places he frequents like Nevada, Minnesota and Michigan. He even has industry contacts with whom he collaborates in Northern Ireland and St. Andrews, Scotland, two places he knows well. Kauflin usually books trips a year in advance and is orchestrating a trip for, often, a dozen friends with their own ideas of the perfect golf trip. “I get to know these guys really well,” he says. “I’ve made some great friends doing it that way. I text them all the time.”

ENJOYING THE SCENIC ROUTE

David Edel has always known what he wanted to do: work in golf and give back to the game he loves. Perhaps paradoxically, and by his own calculation, he had every job in the industry—from caddieing to instruction to greenkeeping—before finding his niche designing his eponymous line of custom putters, wedges and irons. “We have to be stewards of the sport,” Edel says. “I look at what I do as helping people enjoy and be fulfilled playing golf.”

Edel got his first golf job in high school working as a “bag-room boy,” cleaning up and working around the shop of his community’s nine-hole course in Reedsport, Ore. He double dipped as a greenkeeper in the summers, something he later did in college to fund his education. While at the University of Oregon, he worked at Fiddler’s Green Golf Center in Eugene, then the world’s largest golf shop at a whopping 15,000 square feet. “I learned retailing, clubfitting and customer service there,” Edel says. “The owners were amazing people. It was a family-run operation. I learned the art of talking to people about golf clubs and learning everything that’s in the golf world.” After college, he worked a variety of teaching and assistant-pro jobs across the country. In the 1990s, he spent a few years teaching golf in Central and South America: Colombia, Panama, Honduras and Argentina. He didn’t speak Spanish at first but eventually gained fluency. “I knew teaching was my calling,” Edel says. “The process of learning how to teach without speaking the language made me a better teacher.”

In 1996, Edel got married and decided to return to find a more settled job in the States. “I was kind of tired,” he says. “I never saw a winter. I never saw a downtime because I was always chasing the sun.” He joined the family hotel business but hated it from day one. He missed golf. He started tinkering around with making his own putters. “I always loved club manufacturing, repairing equipment all through this process.” In all of his jobs, as a teacher or assistant pro, he always jumped at the first opportunity to mend clubs. “I grew up in a family fishing resort,” he says. “You had to repair everything. So I kind of had that aptitude to fix stuff.”

By the end of the year, he founded his company, Edel Golf, now with 450 fitting accounts worldwide and distribution across 12 countries. “If I knew how long it would take to get where I am, I still would’ve taken that journey. I didn’t think it would be this hard at times. But I’ve loved every minute of it,” Edel says. “I’ve seen the world because of golf.”

LIFE IN MINIATURE

David Backus, then 33 and itching to get out of his role in corporate finance, started plotting his dream course on vacation in Myrtle Beach, where he and his friends spent much of their time playing miniature golf. He approached his accountant sister, Jessica Backus, then 29, with the idea to open a miniature golf course in Austin where he lived. The pair researched extensively, reading everything to be found on the Internet about managing a mini-golf course. They took a business plan to their cousin’s husband, who had expertise from starting his business. “He said, ‘The best you’re going to do is 50 percent of what you think you’re going to do.’ ” David and Jessica scaled down their expectations for the first year, resulting in a more reasonable business plan. Still, they got declined from all 10 banks they pitched, saying it was too risky and a “niche” investment.

After regrouping, David and Jessica recruited the financial help of their parents. Together, their assets secured a line of credit. The course alone was $300,000. Because they opted to buy the land they operate on, with the addition of lighting and leasing, the total investment was $1.4 million.

Plan secured, the brother-sister duo flew to Wildwood, N.J., to visit the manufacturer they had chosen to build their course, a step that could have been saved by flipping through a catalog, but David and Jessica wanted to try out their products. The day before their meeting, they even “broke into” every mini-golf course in Wildwood to inspect the boulders and waterfalls, which, though inactive, proved especially intriguing. “They make them look so lifelike, but they’re actually manufactured,” David says. “We got to see exactly how they worked when they were off. It was a lot of checking over our shoulders, but we were so excited about our project. It was worth the risk.”

Next, David recruited his golf buddies, who work in plumbing, construction and electrics, for help. “They helped me get deals, and I was able to trust them,” he says. “We knew it was expensive to build but inexpensive to run. So all of our costs were up-front. We’ve turned a profit ever since we opened.”

Today, five years after opening Duke’s Adventure Golf, there’s still a lot, particularly regarding maintenance, that comes down to trial and error. David says the best part about the job is meeting the people who come to play. Seeing kids light up at their outdoor-themed course brings him joy.

“Take the risk when you’re young,” David says. “When something goes wrong, there’s always a way to fix it. The way might not be noticeable; it might be very difficult. But at the end of the day, whether it’s through family or networking, there is someone who will think that your dream is a good idea.”

FINDING YOUR VOICE

TALKING A GOOD GAME Tricia Clark says golf and her podcast have turned her into an extrovert.

Tricia Clark had never played golf before, yet she had helped companies raise hundreds of thousands of dollars through charity tournaments in her profession in human resources serving on golf committees, a gig she fell into as a lover of nature. It wasn’t until she found herself on the 12th hole at the PGA Tour’s Valspar Championship watching Tiger Woods on his 2018 comeback tour that she decided she must give the game a shot.

“I was the only African-American female in the grandstands,” says Clark, who was working in human resources for Welbilt Inc. at the time. “I’m screaming at the top of my lungs. He makes his birdie putt. He literally tips his hat to me. That was it. I was like, I’ve got to learn this game .”

Four years and one hole-in-one later, Clark is a “golf ambassador” with the mission of getting more women and people of color involved in the game. She does this through her social-media platform; for example, she’s a member of one global golfing Facebook group with more than 30,000 members.

“I post a picture with every single person I play golf with,” she says. “It’s a memory; it’s a connection. You always want to make a connection with someone you come into contact with through golf. You never know how that can benefit you in the future.”

Clark’s life has been changed by one such serendipitous golf connection. In 2021, someone she played golf with suggested her to Manny Upshaw, president of the golf league Golf LA. Upshaw was looking to start a golf podcast with Chris Sifford, the great-nephew of Charlie Sifford, the first Black golfer to play on the PGA Tour. The result was “The Golf Locker Room” podcast, about all things in the game’s minority community. The podcast celebrated its one-year anniversary in July. Every Wednesday at 8 p.m., Clark, Upshaw and Sifford log in from their home studios in Florida, California and North Carolina, respectively, to record live. All it takes is a microphone, camera, lighting, research and “chemistry.” Clark is in charge of leveraging the relationships she builds on the golf course to find and source guests while providing the female perspective.

This spring, she finally quit her day job working as an executive assistant for PricewaterhouseCoopers (where she also served on the golf committee) to focus on her golf career full-time. In addition to the podcast, she also runs her own businesses booking travel and golf trips, and coordinating and fundraising for tournaments and clinics, plus more projects on the horizon. She also founded a nonprofit, Queens and Kings on the Greens, to introduce new players to the game and to offset financial barriers for youth golfers as well as high school and college students looking to pursue their professional careers on the tour.

“I’m an introvert, but golf and the podcast have made me an absolute extrovert,” Clark says. “There’s no fear in speaking. There’s no fear in approaching anybody else. There’s no fear in introducing myself to a stranger, and I love it because it was probably always me—but it took this passion to bring it out.”

PUSHING GOLF’S BOUNDARIES

A GOOD FIT Entrepreneurial clothing designers like Michael Huynh have found a receptive audience in golf.

After presenting a sales pitch to 50 people in 2017, fashion designer Michael Huynh went to his office to catch his breath. He ended up suffering a seizure and was rushed to the ER. Less than 72 hours later, it happened again. “I lost myself,” he says. “I alienated my health.” His doctors diagnosed him with hypertension. He understood the truth in what they told him: “If you don’t stop, you’re going to have a stroke and die from this.”

His physical therapist suggested he take up golf, which Huynh credits as saving his health, his love for designing and, yes, his life. “I’ve learned a lot about myself through the game of golf,” Huynh says. “You learn the pressure you can handle. You learn to cope with frustration. It teaches you how to breathe and how to slow things down.”

Inspired and on the mend, Huynh decided to blend his passions of fashion and golf for his next entrepreneurial endeavor; he took his sartorial aesthetic—his love for edgy, experimental streetwear that tells a story—to the golf world. He founded Students Golf, a golf lifestyle and apparel brand, in 2021. His designs, which range from sweatshirts emblazoned with witticisms like “Students Dept. of Swing Corrections” to tees depicting club-wielding skeletons rising in flames, speak to his previous fashion life as a contractor for skate and streetwear brands like Vans, Burton, Superism, Publish and Sk8Shop. Since he got his start in 1998 studying fashion from his mom (who was a production manager for high-end brands like Nine West and BCBG), he has worked for the likes of The Weeknd and Kanye West. In founding his brand, Huynh did everything, from financing to marketing.

“To obtain the purest form of brand identity, you’ve got to do it yourself,” he says, “because down the line of growth, you’ll know how to advise every aspect of the brand. Then you can start hiring people.”

In the apparel and e-commerce markets today, Huynh says the move is to build a brand you love with a cohesive identity that’s curated through the details, from the product packaging to the website graphics. Then, plan to sell it within 10 years. “When you’re about to sell, you show the feeling that you have not hit the ceiling yet,” he says. “Show that you have so much more to do.”

With Students, that timeline is progressing quickly. He planned on pitching his newbie brand to 10 stores max, but after a few select phone calls, word spread. “Everyone said, ‘Michael’s back. Let’s support him.’ ” Seemingly overnight, Students landed 125 accounts—and growing.

As you’ve just read from these fascinating individuals, there’s no one way to get a job in golf—especially as the industry evolves and adapts to new technologies and pioneers push the sport on environmentalism and accessibility. Whether you’re newly graduated or looking to change careers, if you love golf and want to work in the business, these stories offer framworks for how to marry your skills and passion for the game. But like Moser says, blueprints offer only a guide; the fun part is hopping in the bulldozer and playing in the dirt.

Retired But Want to Work? Try These 6 Jobs for Seniors That Pay Daily

Just because you retire does not mean you have to be done working .

Plenty of people who have cashed out on their main career still want something to do every day — a place to go, familiar faces to see, and of course, some additional money. Living on a fixed budget when you are retired isn’t always easy, so generating extra income can often be essential for paying bills in the golden years of your life.

Retired But Want To Work? Try These 8 Jobs for Seniors That Require Little to No Experience

Find Out: 3 Ways To Recession-Proof Your Retirement

“There are options for retirees who want less physically demanding work,” said Adam Wood, co-founder of RevenueGeeks . “The availability of these opportunities may vary by location, so be sure to research each option.”

Getting paid in a timely manner can often be just as important. Check out these same-day pay jobs to take on after your retire .

Walking Tour Guide

Do you know and love where you live? Do you have extensive knowledge about a historical site or a tourist destination in your hometown? Then being a walking tour guide could be the perfect fit for your retirement work goals.

“As a Walking Tour Guide for city or historical societies, retirees can immerse themselves in local history, leading groups through cultural landmarks,” said Kimberley Tyler-Smith, an executive at the career tech platform Resume Worded . “It’s an ideal fit for those with a passion for history, offering daily pay ranging from $75 to $150. This role allows retirees to stay active, share their knowledge, and contribute to an enriching experience for tour participants.”

Next: 10 Things Boomers Should Consider Selling in Retirement

Maybe you prefer to spend your retired life with animals instead of people, but you still like to get out and see the sights. Try becoming a professional dog walker!

“Dog walking is an ideal part-time job for retirees as it enables them to contribute to society while staying active,” said Nathan Brunner, CEO of Salarship , where dog-walking jobs pay anywhere between $12 and $20 per hour, with the highest earnings in large urban areas. 

“The easiest way to get started and earn daily money would be to get a dog-walking job from friends or family,” Brunner said, offering that another option is to use simple and senior-friendly apps like Rover or Wag! that connect dog owners with dog walkers. 

“It is important to note that even though you can see your daily earnings on the app, it is only possible to withdraw every two days,” Brunner said.

Golf Course Marshal

Lots of retirees spend their days at the links. But what if you could be on the golf course and get paid for it? All you have to do is become a marshal.

“Retirees who relish the outdoors and have an affinity for golf can consider the role of a golf course marshal,” Tyler-Smith said. “Responsibilities include maintaining a smooth course flow and assisting golfers. With a daily pay range of $50 to $100, this position provides a refreshing outdoor setting and often includes perks like free or discounted access to the golf course, making it an attractive option for retirees.”

Tax Preparer

The primary function of tax preparers is to prepare and submit taxes to the government. However, tax preparers work year-round but are most busy between January and April. 

“For temporary positions, many tax companies hire part-time or contract workers,” Wood said, noting that it could be a good fit for retirees during or leading up to tax season, with the average hourly pay coming to about $14.46 per hour.

Sample Distributor

Just like the golf course, many senior citizens and retired professionals can be found at grocery stores around the country. One of the most popular? Costco. And who better to work at Costco than retirees who know the products well?

“Retirees looking for an engaging role can explore becoming a sample distributor at Costco,” said Tyler-Smith. “This position involves interacting with shoppers, providing product samples, and enhancing the overall shopping experience. With a daily pay ranging from $60 to $100 and potential perks such as product discounts, it offers a dynamic and social opportunity for retirees.”

Condo Concierge

Many retirees don’t even need to leave home these days in order to get jobs and get paid daily. That’s particularly true for those living in condo communities.

“Retirees with strong interpersonal skills can find satisfaction as a condo concierge,” Tyler-Smith said.

In this role, they can assist their neighbors with tasks like package reception and providing information for about $80 to $120 a day.

“Additionally, retirees may enjoy benefits such as access to complex amenities, making it a rewarding option for those seeking a service-oriented role in a residential setting,” Tyler-Smith said.

Chris Kerr was 12 when he first observed a deathbed vision. His memory of that summer in 1974 is blurred, but not the sense of mystery he felt at the bedside of his dying father. Throughout Kerr’s childhood in Toronto, his father, a surgeon, was too busy to spend much time with his son, except for an annual fishing trip they took, just the two of them, to the Canadian wilderness. Gaunt and weakened by cancer at 42, his father reached for the buttons on Kerr’s shirt, fiddled with them and said something about getting ready to catch the plane to their cabin in the woods. “I knew intuitively, I knew wherever he was, must be a good place because we were going fishing,” Kerr told me.

Kerr now calls what he witnessed an end-of-life vision. His father wasn’t delusional, he believes. His mind was taking him to a time and place where he and his son could be together, in the wilds of northern Canada.

Kerr followed his father into medicine, and in the last 10 years he has hired a permanent research team that expanded studies on deathbed visions to include interviews with patients receiving hospice care at home and with their families, deepening researchers’ understanding of the variety and profundity of these visions.

Masters 2024 final round tee times, how to watch sunday at augusta national, share this article.

It all comes down to this.

It’s time for the final round of the 88th Masters Tournament at Augusta National Golf Club. And if Sunday can live up to the excitement of the first three days, it’s going to be incredible.

Scottie Scheffler, the 2022 Masters winner, is the solo leader at 7 under after a 1-under performance and leads Collin Morikawa by one shot. Morikawa shot 3-under 69 on Saturday, one of two rounds in the 60s on Saturday.

The penultimate pairing will be Masters (and major) rookie Ludvig Aberg (4 under) and Max Homa (5 under). Bryson DeChambeau shot 3-over 75 on Saturday after holing out for birdie on 18 to give him some momentum going to Sunday. He’s at 3 under.

Tiger Finishing the Masters More Important Than the Final Outcome

• Author: Bob Harig

AUGUSTA, Ga. — Coming off a rough weekend in which he struggled physically and with his game, Tiger Woods hardly sounded like someone who is a defeated golfer without plans to persevere.

Undoubtedly Woods was not happy with shooting a final-round 77 at Augusta National that will see him finish last among players who missed the cut for just the third time in his professional career.

But in a brief session with reporters after finishing his round some 60 minutes before the leaders were to tee off in the final round of the Masters, Woods talked about getting ready for the upcoming majors and continuing to work toward getting better.

“This is a golf course I knew going into it, so I'm going to do my homework going forward at Pinehurst, Valhalla and Troon, but that's kind of the game plan,” Woods said in referencing the venues for the U.S. Open, PGA Championship and British Open, respectively. “It's always nice coming back here because I know the golf course, I know how to play it. I can kind of simulate shots. Granted, it's never quite the same as getting out here and doing it.

“Same thing, I heard there's some changes at the next couple sites. So got to get up there early and check them out.”

Next up would the PGA Championship, May 16-19 in Louisville, Ky., where Woods won the 2000 PGA Championship (on his way to the Tiger Slam) and missed the cut in 2014 when he was dealing with some of the back problems that appear to be bothering him now as well.

Asked what the challenge will be in getting ready for the next major championship, he said: “Well, just keep lifting, keep the motor going, keep the body moving, keep getting stronger, keep progressing. Hopefully the practice sessions will keep getting longer.”

Woods awoke early to get ready for his 9:35 a.m. tee time, and while the exact things he does to get ready are unclear, it is obvious he needs some time to get loose.

“Certainly rooting for him and rooting for good golf shots,” said amateur Neal Shipley, the runner-up at last year’s U.S. Amateur who earned low amateur honors at the Masters and played with Woods during the final round. “He was awesome. Wish him nothing but the best.

“I really appreciate all the work that he does to keep his body ready to come out here. He told me that he woke up at like 3:45 this morning just to get ready for the day, which is—I got about three hours more sleep than him.

“He's really grinding and making a big commitment to be out here for everyone. It's awesome to see the patrons really appreciative of him and really enjoy having him out here.”

This week, Woods’s walking appeared as solid as could be expected in light of the significant injuries suffered to his lower right leg in the car crash from February 2021; just less than a year ago, he had surgery to have his ankle fused.

The significant issues, again, appear to be his lower back. Woods had spinal fusion surgery in April 2017 which led to the epic comeback that saw him win three times in 2018-19, including the Masters, his fifth green jacket and 15th major .

But late in 2020, months before the car crash, Woods had a fourth microdiscectomy. It is a procedure meant to remove part of a disk on the spine, and since the lower portion was fused for Woods, it suggested this one was done a little higher up.

Woods has said he has numerous aches and pains and there were apparent during a third-round 82 —his highest at Augusta—that came after he made the cut with scores of 73-72 to set a Masters record of 24 straight .

“It was a good week,” Woods said. “It was a good week all around. I think that coming in here, not having played a full tournament in a very long time, it was a good fight on Thursday and Friday. Unfortunately yesterday it didn't quite turn out the way I wanted it to.

“Today the round that I—the way that Tom (Kim) is playing I thought I had in my system. Unfortunately, I didn't produce it.”

Kim shot 66.

Woods got a birdie at the 2nd hole for the first time this week but gave it back with a bogey at the 3rd and then took an unplayable lie at the 5th that lead to a triple-bogey 7. He made no birdies and two bogeys the rest of the way.

The final leaderboard will show him in 60th place and his score of 304 the highest for a 72-hole event as a pro. He was last among those who made the cut at the 2015 Memorial, where he had his highest-ever score, an 85, in the third round. And he also finished last at the 2020 Genesis Invitational, his last event before the coronavirus pandemic.
