It depends what you mean by golf jobs. Two of my clients are the PGA and LPGA and we place people there working all the time. But 90% of them are non golf jobs. Such as sales or event coordination. At clubs, there are tons of jobs such as Food & Beverage, Sales, Memberships, etc... I think you need to narrow down what you like, and if you want to be in golf, talk to a consultant.

Im sure the sales rep end of it is flooded with people like all of the other industries. But that could be something to shoot for. Lots of free swag and you get to meet a ton of people in the industry.

Its not as flooded as you think it is.

My friend tried to get a sales rep job (like selling clubs to people at demo days, stuff like that, you know) and he couldn't...they are very tough to get. My dad also looked for a job like that, because he has a background in sales, he wanted to get a job with titleist, or callaway, or a big company, and he was told they mostly take 'within' the company, the jobs are very rare that you can find one.

I work with the 2 leading golf manufacturers in the industry and they have sales jobs open everywhere. But they look for experience.

Im sure your right.

Also look at the bottom of companies websites. They usually always have a career section.
