Golf pros earn how much?

[Oohmeoldbacksknackered]

not sure of that but I know the pro at my old club gets their bottled water from costco (about £3.30 for 40 bottles of water) and sells them in the shop for £1 a bottle ... nice 91.75p mark up a bottle lol

You're right.
Sell 20 or 30 of those every Saturday, and another 50 during the week and that's .....

Hardly with getting out of bed for.
😶
£10 a day profit, less tax (is there vat on this stuff as well?)
Less all the admin time for stock orders etc. In real terms you are probably breaking even at best.

Like someone said earlier, I don't think getting rich is the reason most Pros do it.

That's probably the exact reason they dream of being a pro

its just an example of how they make their profit overall from the shop. the water for example is £2.50 or something pre vat which with his trade card he wont be charged vat at costco as they will pay the vat when they sell it

basic salary plus profits from the pro shop, depends how profitable the shop is in all

The Pro at my Members Club gets a fair retainer but as you say he pays the wages for his assistants. He runs a very good Pro Shop with quite a high turnover of stock. Where he does well is lessons, he is normally fully booked a month ahead and only does hour lessons for £50. He runs a few group lessons and his assistant does some junior coaching. He also gets a shinny sponsored Honda car that gets changed every six months.

I work in a Pro Shop where the head Pro gets a salary and commission on sales, assistants are also paid by the company. He gets his lesson money on top of this. But, it's not eye watering money.

£50 per hour for a lesson???? Who's the coach butch harmon? Lol

That's what they charge south of Watford

Something working out to just under a quid a minute is fairly standard tbh. Range closest to me charges 55 for the fully qualified teaching pro, the assistants might be a bit less but mostly work with the kids and the main bloke (Master Professional) is 80 quid for the hour

The teaching quality can range so much.

Was watching some lessons on youtube by a pro called Dan Whitaker and they were getting proper swing changing lessons.

£50 for an hour 50 minutes near me, just not worth it

Best to spend 300 quid on a club to fix your swing

£50 an hour is standard at many clubs and ranges around here. Perhaps £5 less here or there but certainly not a lot cheaper. That's just what it is and so you make the decision whether you're happy paying that and having the lesson to improve or not. Simple as that. We have some teaching pros locally that will charge even more (Gary Smith - GM top 25 charges £70 per hour for example)

 

[Bobirdie]

Bloody hell thats expensive.
Club pros up my area are around £25-£30.

A bit OT but I wonder how genuine those ratings are, odds on that they dish them out to whoever happens to be in the magazine so that it appears to be better content. Not saying that is the case with Gary but its very convenient how Shiels and Finch have appeared on that list as soon as they were putting out content with GM.

Very cheap if that is the whole hour, was 25 quid for 30 mins at Brucefields near Stirling when I was there so probably 45 for the hour

The ratings are much like TOP 10 CLUBS when the top 10 will neatly incorporate the top 10 advertisers in the publication TAYLOR MADE, CALLAWAY ETC.. Golf Clubs

Pro ratings are based on the ability to market your services as much as anything else.

See how many adverts you can find from the Top 10 in our course rankings... you'll have your work cut out.

 

[351DRIVER]

Who mentioned COURSES? Not me, I edited my post that previously said CLUBs, so that is more obviously meaning GOLF CLUB HARDWARE

But if you want to run a few examples of top 10 GOLF clubs I think we both know that I will be proven correct

My mate charges £28 for 30=40 mins, but the guy that used to coach Russell Knox at Nairn Dunbar charges £50 for an hour and he is chocker, but then so is my mate who Inverness

 

[guest100718]

local club is £35 for a 40 min lesson, so £50 per hour sounds about right.
