I work at Golfsmith in San Francisco, and if you love the game of golf, don't work retail.
Of course, you knew that already.
Nothing beats the guy who insists on being put on the launch monitor and hits these three drives:
1) High slice, >3000 rpm sidespin, 180 yards.
2) Cold top
3) Total skyball, launch angle >35 degrees.
Then he turns to you with total seriousness and says, "I really caught those last two, how did they look on the computer?"
Anyway, I know that most golf jobs (head pro's, GM's, brand reps, etc.) are notorious for how little golf those people actually get to play. That's part of my current employment dilemma - can I find a job in golf, where I'll also get to play a lot of golf (and if I do, will it be overload?) Or am I OK with a job completely unrelated to golf, but that allows me more opportunities to play?
Thanks for this thread Aaron. And if anyone has any sage advice for me, I'm all ears!
