If you like playing golf, why not find a golf job on the course? Despite this, you need to know some interview tips in this field.

First, well prepared for your interview. Know what you are going to say for those commonly asked interview questions and questions relevant to the position. Make sure you research the golf equipment you are interviewing at as well as competitors in the neighborhood. Know the other professionals working there and what they have accomplished.

When you come to the interview, dress clean and neat. The golf industry has an emphasis on appearance. Official PGA attire is khaki pants, blue button-down shirt and a navy sport coat. Stay in the blue color scheme for the tie. Wear a brown belt and shoes. For women, wear regular business attire. You should also be clean-shaven and properly groomed.

A key thing to bring with you is a portfolio detailing your previous experience. Pictures of displays you created, a sample of the member newsletter you produced, calligraphy examples, budgets, promotional pieces and so forth. Even if you think it’s irrelevant, it may be something new to the employer. The more you have, the more diverse you will be to the employer. If hired, this could expand your responsibilities.

In most fields, job longevity is very important trait that companies seek in new employees. For the golf business, though, it is just as important to have worked in a few places in a short amount of time. This sounds wrong, but in the golf business there are many different types of facilities beyond golf clubs and they all operate differently. Private courses are different from public courses. Knowing how to run a resort and a semiprivate facility looks good on a resume.

Extra Knowledge
There is another possibility that you are asked some questions that pertain to the facility, but you might not think they pertain to the job. Some of those questions will be about food and beverage experience. If it is a small operation, you may be asked to handle the restaurant as well. Having basic working knowledge of this should be good enough. You may also be asked about the grounds. If it is a frosty morning and the head greens superintendent isn’t around, you should know when it is safe to let the golfers out so they don’t kill the grass. These questions aren’t a given, but some like them may be asked.

Good luck, man!

How to Hit a Chip Shot

Posted In: Golf Tips by Amy

Chip shot is a shot typically played from very close to the green, usually within a few yards of the putting surface, in which the ball is struck using a club (usually 6-iron to PW) played back in the player’s stance. Such a combination produces a shot that is in the air very briefly before settling to the putting surface and rolling toward the cup.

How To Hit A Chip Shot And Save Stokes
Shaping your chip. During the chip shot, the ball should spend as little time in the air as possible and most of its time rolling on the green. Pick a landing spot on the green and then read the rest of the shot as you would a putt. Chipping to your chosen spot should result in a putt-like roll to the hole.

Club choice. Like most short game shots, the chip is a matter of feel. Practice will give you an idea of what golf clubs is most effective, taylormade r9 driver or ping g15 driver? In general, the more green between your ball and the hole, the less lofted your club should be.

The set up. To position yourself for a chip shot, narrow your stance slightly and use a more open setup with your feet point 15 or 20-degrees left of perpendicular to the line of the shot. The ball should line up on the inside of your left heel or slightly more centered. Take your normal grip, but choke down on the cheap golf clubs by an inch or two.

The swing. During a chip, your back swing should be much shorter than normal—rarely will the back swing on a chip go even waist high. Now, accelerate through the ball as normal with a smooth, sweeping stroke. A well-struck chip will jump from the club head, land on the green and roll toward the cup at the speed of a putt made from the same distance.

Golf is a good sport to relax. However, golf swing is a hard task for most golfers even though they know the importance of a good golf swing very well.

I started golfing 4years ago, and i am a great lover of the sport. in the beginning I just couldn’t keep by golf swing the same, trying a new shot every time, i had no confidence in my shots and i never believed that my ball would land on the green. I even tried many different golf clubs, such as ping g15 driverCallaway FT-iQ Driver.  Two years into my quest i decided to try The Simple Golf Swing . First of all it built up my confidence and made me enjoy the game twice as much. Second it helped me win nearly all of my matches (i had to let the boss win didn’t I)

Golf is a great sport, but if you want to be able to enjoy your game, and hit twice as far and with greater accuracy, then i advise you to read about The Simple Golf Swing and try different golf equipment to find the best one that fit for you. Trust me it will improve you golfing experience Forever!
