Does anyone have an idea what a golf technician at Dick's Sporting Goods makes? I need a 2nd job to help pay some bills off.

they don't get discounts on golf items either :/

Really? That would have been a nice perk. I am just toying around with some ideas. It wouldn't be needed for long. I just have some bills that need to be gone and I get impatient and want them gone now!!

kid working in a chinese factory factory

I'm confused. Is this a factory where they make Chinese factories? Or is it a Chinese factory where they make regular factories? There could be a big difference in pay.

My equipment:

Driver - Callaway FT3 Fusion (9 degree)
3 Wood - Orlimar Tri-Metal (9 degree)
Hybrids - Bobby Jones (17, 21 & 25 degree)

Irons - KZG XCB 5 - PW

Wedges - Warrior (52 & 56 degree)

Putter - STX Envision

Ball of choice - Callaway TOUR i(s)

If you live near a Costco check and see if they have any openings, the starting pay there is $15 hour.

Man that's some pretty good starting pay. But we don't have one near my area. Thanks

Depends entirely on where you live. But I'd say closer to 2-3 dollars over minimum. I have a comparable job at Lowes (a department sales associate) which is basically what it sounds like you're referring too, and I get paid 3 dollars above what the minimum wage is in my area. If it's going to be a 2nd job for you, it'd probably be something you'd enjoy since you wouldn't be on this forum if you weren't into golf, lol. It'd be a job I wouldn't mind having as a 2nd job.

Callaway XR 9.5 + 1, Taylormade R15 3 Wood, Burner 3 Rescue, Callaway XHot 5H, Warbird 4H, Nike Vapor Fly 6-AW Irons, Titleist Vokey 54, 60 Wedges, Taylormade Rossa Fontana Putter, Srixon Z-Star Tour Yellow.

Best Score 2017:  82 (Traditions at the Glen, Par 70)

Favorite Course - Conklin Players Club (Par 72) - Best Score 86

That's why if you go to Dick's you talk to the On-Staff PGA Certified pro, or assistant pro. Every Dick's has them, and they don't get that position without having credentials from the PGA saying they're Certified Golf Pros. When I go into my local Dick's (I love shopping there, probably because I'm from the town that the company was founded) I always talk to the PGA pro or his assistant. They know there stuff. The other guys, some of them know a bit, some don't know anything.

      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?
