I just graduated college in May with a degree in Marketing, and I am very interested in going into sales in the golf industry. I know it is very difficult to break into the industry, so I'd be willing to start in customer service and move my way up.

I absolutely love this forum and love reading all the very informative posts on this site. This got me wondering if any of you had any information (in regards to contacts and connections) that would help me at all break into the large OEM golf industry.

I have started looking at their career sites etc and nothing is showing up. I contact the only e-mail that they give, and they of course say their are no openings and to just keep checking the site. I'm not very interested in going the "independent" route at the moment. This has given me the idea they are only looking within the company and their contacts to fill openings.

If any of you could help my search for a sales/customer service job within the industry at all could you please send me a private message with any details/advice.

Thank you all,

Sean

considering I also have a marketing degree and am in the field you want to get into, i should pop in and answer questions. First thing is get contacts. If you are friends with the club pro somewhere he is probably friends with his sales reps. Good idea to let him know you are looking to get into this. Also good to see if the sales reps are needing any work. I got all my contacts from my local pro. So i got it easy. But the main thing is getting your foot in the door. PM me if you got any questions. As i dont have much time right now.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.

      Brendan Sorsby Sports Betting

      Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026.

      Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?

      Day 281 6-10 Full swing, fast, getting low point ahead of "towel".  Working on flow during this seems to help.
