The golf industry has grown tremendously in the past decade, thanks in part to the monumental success that the professional level of the sport has enjoyed, along with the growth in availability of the sport to a more casual, available audience on a regular basis. The result is a sport that is in dire need of individuals who can provide a growing feature set of skills and abilities that golf jobs may not have previously required.
What Golf Jobs Used to Be
At one point, golf courses were restricted to country clubs and expensive getaways where the staff largely consisted of only the most elite of golf professionals, those who had spent their lives in the sport, often as a player. These individuals would organize the course, oversee tournaments and events, and provide oversight to the limited staff of employees.
What Golf Jobs Are Today
Today, golf jobs are much more elaborate. Because there are now multiple golf courses in every city at varying levels of affluence, there is a much higher demand for golf professionals. Today, you might see golf courses or centers located in:
Malls and shopping centers
Suburbs
Cruise Ships
