First hand, I do not know what the job market is like, but I can tell you where to look. The PGA of America’s website has a listing for careers in golf. The jobs range from Club Pros to sales associates at Golf superstores.

I do know one man who is a course superintendent. He has been at the same Club for 22 years. I have no idea what her earns, but he lives in an upscale Chicago neighborhood and has 9 children. So my guess is that he must do pretty well.

I hope this information is helpful.
