I’m obsessed with finding information to help our followers and customers with their job search and how land their dream golf job. If you’re golf job search is at a standstill and you don’t have a list chock full of contacts to help, you need to devise a plan. After spending hours reading about job […]
Ever wonder why some companies and golf clubs attract the best candidates like honey to a bee? Sure some may have oodles of expendable income and five star facilities yet, when it comes to recruiting, they also follow unique, innovative recruiting strategies vs. their competitors. Not every golf club/resort has a kick-butt course, clubhouse and/or […]

Started reading Matthew Berry’s book “Fantasy Life” (thoughtful Xmas gift from my daughter) who describes how he found his way into the sports fantasy biz; his passion.

Many of these companies are just “shopping” for free info and/or service with zero-point-zero intent of making a purchase. The conversations include questions like: […]
Been touting for a while how important it is for candidates to “stand out” from the crowd if they want a great gig in golf. There are many ways to stand out. In a good way. A great way to stand-out in an interview is to address your weaknesses right up-front…get it all out. Sometimes […]
Had to have our house treated for termites (2nd time within 12 months) which is a major pain in the butt and major headache for home owners in South Florida. Open food and medications have to double wrapped in plastic and tied with duct tape…and you have to leave house for 48 hrs ughhh! I […]
