The best way to ensure that your frugal golfing dollars go a longer distance is to think about taking a golf course job. No doubt, the pay be on the low side (especially for part time jobs), but the benefits that accrue to those that take a golf course job are so many that you will not mind the low salaries earned. If you are also an avid golfer then taking any kind of golf course job is sure to be an advantage and so it will certainly pay to consider some of the benefits that will accrue to anyone taking a golf course job.
Different Courses
In fact, benefits accruing from a golf course job will differ from course to course though many courses actually provide liberal perks to people working there. The single biggest perk that a golf course job offers is that you get a chance to play golf for free and so you can use the greens without paying a penny and even use carts without having to pay a dime. Of course, some courses (especially high end ones) might restrict on your ability to play for free; but, on the whole this is certainly the biggest benefit that you will get when working at a golf course.
Secondly, a golf course job will allow you certain privileges at the driving range which means that you can practice your golf swing till your arms refuse to allow you to lift another golf club. Another perk that comes from taking a golf course job is that you can get lessons from the pros at discounted cost or even for free. The fact of the matter is that many pros have idle time on their hands and so will be willing to accommodate you in their free time and not charge you a penny for the privilege.
Other benefits to taking a golf course job include getting discounts at the Pro Shop as well as at the snack bar and restaurants. You can in fact, buy equipment, clothes and eats and drinks at reduced prices.
What makes one golf course stand out and be more successful is the care and thought that went into the golf course’s construction. There are many factors that need to be addressed before constructing a golf course including location and acreage as well as architect.
The bottom line with taking up a golf course job is that you will need to work for between six and twelve hours and perform tasks as varied as being a cart attendant, starter, driving range attendant and even a pro-shop attendant.
