First day

Today I worked 8.5 hours at Golfsmith. It was a busy Sunday right from the start. I was suppose to shadow and watch two long time Sales Caddies. They showed me a few things and gave me a tour of the stock room :-)

I helped with a few sales and overall assisted in about $1000 dollars of merchandise. Not bad for a first day.

I really enjoyed helping the guests with their golf purchases.

You're Hired

On Friday I was officially hired as a sale caddy at Golfsmith in Bridgewater. I will start my training this week. This is a part-time position that I am very excited to do. It gets me out of the house and I get to talk to golfers about golf clubs and will help them decide which clubs are best for their games. I will also make some money and earn commissions. So, if you need some clubs, stop by the Golfsmith in Bridgewater, ask for Scott.

Phase 1 accomplished

I was told verbally that I have the job at a major golf retailer. I am waiting for the offer. I also tracked down a gentlemen about another position who works for a major golf club manufacturer. They may need an additional person to work as a demo day technician. This one could be categorized as a dream job, at least a foot in the door dream job.

Interview

I scheduled my first golf job interview today. It is at a retail golf shop. The position is sales. I would like to gain some experience with golf sales and this would be a good break-in position. The interview is on Wednesday, wish me luck

Time for a career change

I have been in the software sales business for 12 years and was recently set free. I am strongly considering a career change. I am passionate and love the game of golf and can see myself in a role in the golf industry. Since my background is sales, I think a great place to start is in golf sales. I have applied for a couple of sales positions. I know quite a bit about the game, equipment, courses and would be a talented asset to a medium to large golf company or golf travel agency. I am an accomplished amateur with a 9 handicap. My strong part of my game is off the tee and putting. I need to get mor GIR and U/D to get the handicap down. I plan to play in tournaments this summer to add to my competitive nature. I look forward to a great golf season.

Play well,
Scott
