Was talking with a friend about a tennis pro who was coaching a huge named player on the ATP tour. Couldn’t believe how little this coach was being paid for his time. His weekly salary was comparable to that of a wallpaper hangar. No diss intended to wph’ers just making a point. Got me thinking […]
Let’s face it, it’s tough to get a good job in the highly competitive golf industry. At GolfSurfin.com, I’m always preaching that candidates need to stand-out, do something different, take a different tack when applying to jobs. Heres a great example. A few years back a new young transplant from Lithuania named Lukas Yla was […]

Doing some poking around on the internet before writing a guide/ebook to help candidates find a job in golf. After plugging in few key words and phrases, I kept landing on resume writing services. Didn’t I realize how many of these companies exist along with the unbelievable guarantees they make. For example let’s look at […]
Was looking to replace a technical manager for my website. Used a tech job board where you can view the candidate’s resume along with the types of jobs they completed with ratings given by past customers.

Finally finished reading Matthew Berry’s book Fantasy Life”. Yes I’m a very slow reader (like a turtle) but consider it “quality vs. quantity” reading.
