As a Golf Professional we must be like a Swiss Army knife, in that we must be ready and able
to handle any task that is asked of us. There are constantly new tasks, requests, and

accommodations that we must fulfill for our membership and fellow co-workers as a part of
our job every day; often times, being asked to step out of our comfort zone in order to
accomplish them.

The experiences that I have had working at seven different golf clubs around the nation, have

more than prepared me for anything that is thrown my way on a daily basis.

Below you will find an example of the current job duties asked of all Assistant Golf
