Golf pros earn how much?

[MadAdey]

Last time I was chatting to a club pro about this he said that a lot of the shop profit is from Mars bars, Evian and Powerade. But I don't think many get rich from doing that. A lot of Pros nowadays take secondary roles in clubs like course manager. My old Pro at Spalding does that. So he not only gets a retainer but gets and income form course manager too. Works well for the club I suppose. Rather paying a 20k retainer to the Pro and then 30k to a course manager they can just pay the Pro 40k and save 10k.

Tell you what a pro on Twitter followed me and started promoting MLM rather than his golf club or lessons!

Hill Golf Academy, recruiting suckers now earn 50 quid an hour and host parties etc..
wtf

If i were at that club that guy would be fired in a second, maybe he is the owner, i did not bother to check, instead he is blocked so i see no more of his daft MLM recruitment posts

What's MLM?

Multi Level Marketing, the new legal form of Pyramid scheme
Usually selling beauty products or similar, recruit 5 friends, get them to recruit 5 and get them to recruit 5, then you are a diamond platinum seller and will earn

IN theory lots
IN reality almost zero

In theory, live your dreams, be your own boss
In reality, still living in that council house

So can you imagine a golf pro punting this cr ap on twitter!

As i say, if i owned the course, he would be fired in a second

P.S i am looking for 5 gullible suckers who can get an august bonus bonus, you must be both gullible and desperate, if this is you, please pm now and live the dream

You certainly need to put plenty of effort in to make a decent living purely from being a club Pro.... I wouldn't fancy some of the nonsense you have to put up with from (certain) members too!

I try and buy my equipment from him where I can too... cos I'd rather he's there than not there.
