I talked to a local assistant pro at a course operated by a regional golf management company. He said the challenge is to make it to a head pro position, which is where the decent money starts. Β But, there's only so many head pro positions available. His company certainly wants someone who canΒ teach, but primarilyΒ someone who has a good head for business - running tournaments, getting the right merchandise mix in the pro shop, etc.
As for assistant pros working on their games... in many weeks, this consists of hitting a bucket of balls at lunchtime, or playing a couple of holes in the early evening. These guys (and gals) often use vacation time for golf trips so they can play.
About age 30, aΒ lot of assistant pros - even those with PGA cards -Β decide to do other things if the future doesn't look promising.
Focus, connect and follow through!
