Career that allows more golf???

[Cinco]

I have been racking my brain trying to think of a career that allows more time for golf. Can anyone help me out? Does anyone have a career that allows them to play golf multiple times per week?

I work a 9 day fortnight which means that every two weeks I get three round of golf per weekend. Other than that you could try teaching for unlimited golfing time during the summer, though it makes paying for the golf more difficult!

I think many a career can lend itself to playing more golf. It all depends on your schedule. I play a couple of times a week in the morning around 7:30AM. I walk and play 9 and can do it in about an hour and 15 minutes. That puts me at getting to work around 9AM. I wear my work clothes to play and don't have to worry about showering. Various things can make playing more like this easier or harder (like having to wear a suit to work). You could also look into playing on your lunch break, but how flexable your work schedule is will dictate whether or not squeezing a round in at some point during the day is possible. Family obligations will also impact upon your ability to play more. When the days are longer you could also look into playing nine after work, but that's where family obligations can become more problematic. I had pretty much quit playing after I got married. It wasn't a conscience decision but rather my priorities had changed as my life changed. Now my kids are older and I began playing with them, and so I took the game back up. I now make the time during the week for playing 9 once or twice and weekends with the kids. I'll also get up early on saturdays when the family takes the opportunity to sleep in and I'l play 9 or 18 with a friend. All in all I can usually get in 1 or 2 complete rounds of golf pretty much every week by managing my time and working golf in around my schedule.

I was talking the other day with the the golf sales associate at my local chain sporting goods store. He had worked as a sales rep for Sun Mountain and Ram (back when they were a top brand) and said that he played a lot and didn't pay a greens fee in 40 years! The fact that he is probably around 70 and working in a chain store for maybe minimum wage would be an indication it isn't the best paying work in the world.

Retirement seemed to help me with that Of course, it doesn't pay as well

[OldDog66]

Well I worked 30 years as a police officer, retired at 3/4 pay and play 2-3 times a week. The only drawback is that you are old before the golf is easy to schedule.

I would think any outside sales position will work better than most. You can make your own schedule.

Teacher's get the summer off, Firefighters also have flexable scheduals. they can work 24 on 24 off, 24 on 48 off if they want and can find someone else to rotate with. they also can retire after 20 years with a pension.

You could always get a job (full time or part time) at a golf course. However, some allow their employees to play more than others. I played on one where i saw a member of the grounds crew with a chainsaw, some rakes and his golf bag in the back of his cart.

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

[Voiceontapex]

if you can work it around your boss, ask if its possible to do 4 10 hr days, thats waht i do, get 3 days off, or my old job i was in charge of vendor recieving making decent amount of money, and i worked 6 am to 2 everyday, and in the summer getting off at 2 is plenty time to get in 18 =]

Teacher, and then the school golf team coach. My coach didn't even teach us but got to play for free for 5 days a week, and at every course we played.

[TheWarHound]

I am a high school chemistry teacher, and if I get the asst. golf coach position next year, I get discounted country club memberships, and can play more cheaper.

Teachers don't make a lot of money, but I only "teach" 3 hours 40 minutes per day, 180 days a year. So, for the amount of time I actually work, I get paid really well.

Outside sales weasel - we litter the courses every afternoon.

If you are confident enough for commissioned sales(and are good at it), you will never be looking over your back wondering if your boss is on the next tee box.

[Mr Eagle]

The car park at my local course is always full of taxis during the week,so I guess thats the job to do.

[BCEagles722]

The past two summers I caddied at a country club with many members who are high up at prestigious business firms, and a lot of them were out on the course with clients 2-3 days during the week with clients, plus another round or two over the weekend for pleasure.

[gogolfing]

I am a high school counselor and get to play a fair amount, but I have friends at the golf club who are firefighters and they are out there way more than me. They work 2 days, 2 nights (12 hour shifts), and then they're off for 4.

If you want to play more golf, get a job at a golf course of all things? Get a job on an island...that is your answer.
