i got hired on as a framer for this big commercial const company here in bend. But they never moved people up. I always enjoyed talking to the estimaters and the Project managers. Maybe I will try it someday.

Who do you work for? I'm with PCS. We're doing a big hospital in Eugene - I'm actually supposed to go down there next week.

No doubt. I'm an estimator for a Large commercial landscape construction company, and while I was in the field, I had neither the time or energy for golf. But now.......

Nice to see another member in the Seattle area, as well as a fellow guesstimator. We'll have to connect for a round sometime.

I'm a project manager for a structural steel fabricator. Like the estimator for the construction company that posted a few posts ago, too much stress and too many hours.

Being a high school student, I work in the cart barn at a pretty exculsive club, which means all the balls left on carts are up for grabs, and employee golf monday!

Basically I started working at a local public course Hunting Hawk Golf Club as a players assistant (cart kid) and after three years, they moved me inside to manage the players assistants. I love the job free golf all over the city, and free practice facility. Pretty good pay and an awesome boss.

Free lance web developer; now spending a majority of the time on search engine marketing. Whenever I have a free moment I prefer to hit some balls over anything else. Basketball is still a favorite, but golf is catching up quick.

Hey Guys , I haven't talk much , but mostly reading posts all over the forums , i don't always agree with what's written but i can see people know what they're talking about :)

I can't believe how many tech guys there is on here , now i know that if i have computers problems , i can go on a golf board instead :)

Right now i'm a university student in canada , studying administration , and during summer i work as a golf pro , not head pro but assistant .

I run therapy (physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy) programs in subacute nursing facilities. A far cry from golf, but my boss plays and that makes it easier for me to take a day off or cut out early to play.

Hey all,

New member but thought I would add to the postings. What I do:

I'm a professional audio mixer for Canada's all business news network, Report on Business Television (ROBTv) and I also work for Hockey Night in Canada - hence the nickname and avatar.

If you're ever watching, err listening to our station between 8am and 1:30pm EST, that's me you're hearing
Let me know what you think.

Cheers,

Andrew S.

    • I've got my pain mostly under control and the meds are working.   I'd like to join. 
    • I would definitely attend if my calendar allows.
    • Finland: I've played Mid-Night Golf in Finland. Really cool. I looked at the schedule for my week out there and I saw that we were teeing off at 9PM... Feels weird, 9 PM tee time. But it was really great. We finished well after 1AM and sat around and drank on the golf course terrace. It was cool. It's really easy to loose track of time when the sun doesn't set.  Here's a picture of me in Finland hitting my approach on the final hole. It's roughly 1:30AM in this photo.  Egypt: Another cool experience was playing golf in Egypt. The entire course is sand. The greens are called browns, cuz they are just sand with oil poured on them and pounded down a bit. Your ball gets kind of oily when you putt, but the caddy cleans it for you after each hole. You carry around a little piece of fake grass (maybe 2 foot square) and place your ball on it each time before you hit. That is except when you go into a sandtrap. The sandtraps are just areas marked off where you don't get to use your little piece of astro-turf. Sometimes they are dug down a bit to make a bunker, sometimes not.  Spain: No special events or anything, but I played a bunch of golf in Spain in the mid-1990's. At that time Spain's economy wasn't doing the best and Europe hadn't quite switched to the Euro. So Spain was using the Peseta. The country of Spain has some incredibly breathtaking courses. (incredible scenery in general) But because of the conversion from the dollar to the Peseta (If memory serves it was 150 to 1), I got to play them for what I remember as being incredibly inexpensive prices. Gorgeous country and really nice people.  Holland or The Netherlands: I lived for a couple of years in what's called The Flevoland in Holland. It's one of the Dutch provinces and it's all land that was recovered from the sea. So, it's all under sea-level. One of the courses I played a few times out there had flags on every hole to show just how deep the water would be if it wasn't for the dams. 
    • Yeah, that's right. I remember now. Pia Nilsson. I've read a couple of her books. "Be A Player" and "Every Shot Must Have A Purpose".  I read them back maybe 10 years ago. ... maybe 5? ... pre-pandemic anyway.  Good memory. 
    • Having had the opportunity to live and work in a few different countries, I've encountered some golf traditions, whether they are well-established customs or unique experiences at local courses. While not all of these are widely practiced, they highlight the diversity and creativity in the golfing world. 1. Japan - The O-Bon Golf Festival In Japan, during the O-Bon (lantern) Festival, I've seen golf courses hosting night golf events with glowing balls and lantern-lit fairways. It's a serene and beautiful way to combine golf with culture.  2. Scotland - The Guising Golfers In Scotland, around Halloween, I've come across golfers participating in "guising," where they dress up in costumes and play a round of golf. It adds a festive twist and a lot of fun to the game. 3. South Korea - The New Year's Honbae In South Korea, golfers play a round of golf on New Year's Day, followed by a celebratory meal and drinks (9th hole and after the game). It's a time for camaraderie and positive intentions for the year ahead. Besides new year's, on higher end courses, they often break on the 9th hole for some light food and drinks like fancy ramen and makgeolli rice wine (ordered in advance). 4. Australia - The Outback Golf Challenge (I have not experienced this one myself) In Australia, there is apparently an Outback Golf Challenge, where golfers navigate rough terrain and face unconventional obstacles. It's considered a true test of skill and adaptability (but hasn't produced many PGA golfers 😉 ). 5. Finland - The Midnight Sun Golf Tournament (I have not experienced this one myself) In Finland, the Midnight Sun Golf Tournament is where golfers play late into the evening under the perpetual twilight of the summer months. The endless daylight makes it a truly unique event. While these traditions may not be universally established, they represent the variety of golfing experiences around the world. I'm curious if any of you have encountered or participated in unique or local golf traditions, whether internationally or closer to home.
