Excluding playing , who's job would you want?  For example would it be Scotty Cameron, Johnny Miller, a tour rep, an R&D; specialist, Butch Harmon, a design engineer, staff writer for a golf publication?

For me, I'd think it be cool to to be involved in the equipment design side of the business.  I grew up with my Dad owning and running his own golf store in the San Francisco Bay Area and my first job was as a tech rep with Ping.  So I've always loved trying out different kinds of clubs and geeking out over all the tech stuff.  So as much as I rag on Scotty Cameron, in a perfect world, I can see myself designing high end clubs, being #1 on tour and making a nice living doing so. Marty Jertson's got a pretty cool job too.

And even though I'm involved in instruction and enjoy sharing quality information, I don't think being a top instructor with a stable of tours players is for me.  Get blamed for when your players perform poorly and too much credit when they play well.

For me, the "tech" side of the industry would be a fascinating world to be in.  Considering how much of an equipment geek I am now, being involved with the latest and greatest in technology would definitely be the thing I choose.

I can only imagine being at a place like Nike's "Oven" or any other brands development facility and working with engieers all day testing clubs.

I would be Rory, Keegan, DJ, Rickie etc.  I would want to be a up and coming tour player.  Nothing better in my opinion to get paid millions to play the game I love.

Yes, I know this is the stock answer, but it is the real answer

My answer is going to be a little different.  I'd like to manage a club.  Not the club pro but the GM.  It is something I could do well.  I know my strengths and think it would work for me.

But if I was a different person with any skill, I think being an engineer would be amazing.  But my brother got that skill.  I got common sense.

I'd have to go with Agent. Someone like Chubby Chandler. Have half a dozen high-end golfers as clients. Line up sponsors, schmooze, and collect my 10%. Seems like a good gig.

      I get kidney stones. So 100 oz of water every day. Some nights I drink 32oz between midnight and 6 Am. Which means I dont sleep much.

      How Much Water do You Need to Drink?

      By TN94z ·

      I don’t measure my intake either. I generally have a black coffee, a bottle of soda, some sweet tea at home, and anything in between is water. An ice cold bottle of water is one of my favorite things. It feels like an immediate refresher for my body. I’ll admit that I need to drink a little more though.

      This Guy Is Blatantly Sandbagging!

      By imsys0042 ·

      For such a nice membership, there have been some bad incidents in the past few years.  We had someone voted out a couple of years ago over something he did and he harassed the board members for three months until he moved out of the area.   Generally they’ve tried to do things like tournament handicaps and identify certain people who they know should be lower and adjust it somehow.  I can understand not wanting to go thru something like the guy who was voted out again i emailed the pro who forwarded it to the handicap committee.  They are going to see what can be done.  I walked someone thru what happened and they are going to nudge him to post the score from the match and see what he does.  Since he didn’t put anything in the electronic scoring past 13, based on how he played 14 and 15 plus having to take bogey on 16-18 for after he left, he should post 83.  We’ll see if it’s even higher,   Since he was really even thru 13, then doubled 14 and parred 15 my guess is he really shot 75 being generous and giving him 2 pars and a bogey on the three holes he didn’t play.    i shot 88, getting 16 shots for my course handicap which is net even and I lost on 13.  We do brackets where handicaps should be within 4-5 of each other.  Most matches only have 1-2 shots as a difference between players  neither of us posted the score yet.  There was something in the match play rules about whether or not to post your score.  I couldn’t remember if we were supposed to or not.  I don’t think he was going to post that, because even with his inflated score it would be the lowest score in his recent 20. Lucky I didn’t because they want to see what he does post and they don’t want me posting so he can try to calibrate his score.
