Careers in golf

[Dr. Slice]

What kind of careers can you have in the golfing world?

I was thinking about that today and i think it would be awesome to just somehow work around the game of golf but couldn't think of anything other than an actual golfer or a caddie

You could be a PGA pro and teach people how to play golf and fix their swing problems.  You can also be the manager of a golf course or be a greenskeeper.

You could also would designing golf equipment.

Theres lots of options.

Just to give you an idea... Id love to be a teaching pro.  I really enjoy the challenge of trying to spot flaws in ones swing from a few swings then coming up with the right drill or thought to fix it!

I don't believe you've gotta be a scratch or plus index golfer to be a great instructor, but I do think you've gotta be a lot better than a 14.8. You're your first student - get better, then consider all of this because the ability to demonstrate is important...

Oh I agree completely. I should have said friends swings. You definitely have to be able to practice what you preach. It's just something that I think I would enjoy a lot more than being a welder/pipe fitter. I'm 24 and its destroying my body.
