I own a small business with my wife. I get to play 2 or 3 times a week. I could play more but I'd start feeling guilty about playing so much while my wife is running the store!

Winning the lottery would give you plenty of time for golf becuase you'ed never need to work in the firs place and you could buy some sexy clubs

my best friend's brother just got himself a gig working on an oil rig in the gulf, and the schedule out there is 7 days on, 7 days off. i'm not sure how good the pay is, but if you can deal with working 7 straight days, you'd have yourself two weeks out of the month free to play golf as much as you pleased.

...in fact, that sounds pretty good. hm.

i'm a nurse that works 2 days and 2 nights (12 hrs), then i get 5 days off. so there's potential to play on either morning before nightshifts, then on each of the days off.

Any job that you need to meet with people for business i.e. insurance and sales. My girlfriends father owns an Insurance agency and plays all the time with clients. Also a tax accountant could problem having business meetings with clients on the course and write it off as a business expense.

I am a computer nerd about to graduate college next May. If I can't land a job I am going to freelance and build websites. Clearly I could make my own hours for this, however would need a lot of site to make enough to play.

I'm a Realtor and my playing partner is a bartender.
We play mon-thursday. It works well for both of us, we avoid the high traffic days, know all the pros and do most of our volume of work durring the busy time at the course.
Some days get a little long for both of us but its worth it!

I have been racking my brain trying to think of a career that allows more time for golf. Can anyone help me out?

Im a field rep for an online advertising company. I have 3 appointments per day that i go on, then im pretty much done. Sometimes i get a cancellation or drop out and im done sooner. Key is to book them early and be done early. each appointment is only about an hour long so Im supposed to do other work stuff in the field for the other 5 hours.

Now, if i wasnt such an awesome employee and i wasnt fully committed to "doing the right thing" im sure i could fit in 2 rounds per day....but i wouldnt know exactly...

Kinda revolves around what your skills are....Work sales/marketing and use golf for sales meetings. I've done that 30/40 times a year for quite some time. Work nights allowing all day. Teach and summers are off. But really what are your skills and is golf more important than income/career!!!!

Real Estate, Insurance, Firefighter, or any job where you can work an overnight shift and be off when the sun is up.

Do you sleep every minute that you don't work?

What's the difference in working from 7am-3pm then going to play or working from 11pm-7am then going to play?

I'm a firefighter who has taken up golf within the last 3 months and I have quite a bit of time to play. With my schedule I work 10 days out of the month, however those are 24 hour work days. Golf has really made my time off fun.

I'm a swim coach. I work from 6:00-8:00 every morning, tee off at 8:30-9:00 and have to go back to work at 5:00-7:00. I can easily get 27 holes in per day if not 36, that 7 days a week!

CPA. I love it.

I gotta keep the phone in the pocket on vibrate most days, but it's rare that anybody calls.

A friend of mine is a systems consultant. We usually find time to play on weekdays. He's even listened in on a conference call with a bluetooth headset while on the course before.

There's a variety of careers that allow you to play a lot of golf. In my field, some days golf = meeting with clients!

    • I was laid off two months ago. Good severance, a 90 day layoff announcement regulation the company wanted to avoid so technically I'm still on the payroll for a few weeks, and a bunch of banked PTO, so I'm in a great spot and working on a startup idea I've been batting around with my brother for a while. That means I've got time to get to the gym! I'm at like 60-75 minutes 5x a week of strength training, and either a run or a bunch of time playing soccer or tennis with my daughter on the weekends. Stronger than I've been in forever. Up ~5 pounds of (noticeable!) muscle!
    • Do you have examples of exceptional scores versus their established handicap indexes?
    • Day 539, April 23, 2024 Mirror work once again. When I get back to swings, I'll just do it A. LOT.
    • A bit of background. The Southern California Golf Association (SCGA) runs an annual event known as "Team Play." It is a wildly popular match play competition where Men's Clubs across the region put together teams of 20+ golfers together to compete against other clubs in a 16 vs. 16 match. In any given year, approximately 80-100 clubs will participate. Each club is grouped into "pods" of 4, and will play 6 total matches - one home and one away match against the other 3 clubs. The winning club from each pod advances to the Team Play Playoffs - a single elimination format - until a winner is crowned.  Antelope Valley Country Club just advanced to the championship match for the 3rd consecutive year. They won the championship in both 2022 and 2023.  Based on my review of the match history from the past 3 years (linked below), they have won 21 consecutive team matches. Keep in mind, these are handicapped matches, so this is not just a case where a group of sticks bands together to dominate the poor amateurs other SoCal clubs. Even if these guys are grinders who never quit, play their best under pressure and routinely putt the lights out, the law of averages still say that a streak of that nature is mathematically impossible.  Is there any plausible explanation beyond institutionalized sandbagging throughout the club?
