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.

      Day 37: did my drill swings in the garage with foam balls for about 15 minutes. Working on getting my backswing more turned and then going from there.

      Retaining Trail Knee Flex in the Backswing

      By iacas · Posted

      Thanks but honestly… I don't know any other way. I don't mind being wrong so long as I know where to go from there. I don't like being wrong — I'd love to get things right (which is different than "being right"). I recommend grabbing a furniture slider or a paper plate or something, and doing something like this: First, make a swing where you let your trail foot swing out as you turn, then twist that foot back in. From DL and FO, it'll look like this: Then, during a regular backswing, try to twist your foot in slightly (demonstrated in the left image): You'll notice a crease along the trail side of your hip, your pelvis will "fold" into that thigh (internal rotation of the hip joint), and your "bits" will be squished a little between your pelvis and your thigh. Ben Hogan said once: "At the top of the back swing the groin muscle on the inside of your rt [sic] leg near your right nut will tighten," Hogan wrote. "This subtle feeling of tightness there tells you that you have made the correct move back from the ball." I don't know about that, but you will probably feel something down around that area.

      Yep. I think it will start to feel even more athletic when we start on the downswing stuff later.  I know, it's just I want to be younger so I have more time to enjoy the changes. 🙂

      I need to drop a couple of stone. 🙂 😛    Yep. Yeah, but in the end, it feels more athletic, like you're actually using your legs, yeah? As you know… we use the best available info we have. Like others, I was fooled a little by 2D images for awhile (moving or still). Unlike others, I've learned and grown and moved on since then, while they're still looking at their images (often from lousy camera angles).
