so obviously we would all like to play golf for a living if we was good enough but for many its a dream that wont ever be.
Just wondering what you do for a job to pay for this lovely hobby.

I work for the water board. Basically digging holes for a living and repaing burst water pipes and also doing new connections for new build etc. Worlds best job in the summer not the best this time of year as the water is stupidly cold.

I design electrical accessories for manufacture in china for a smallish company based in north London. Hence I am back to china for a week at the end of the month. That'll be fun then, a week of food poisoning to look forward to.

For the past 20 years I managed Sales & Logistics for a precast concrete manufacturer. Reduced to a 3 day week a few years back and now I just work on a Monday :) Role is now more a font of all knowledge as I've been there so long and project work as required. Keeps me in golf lessons!

Recruitment Administrator for an NHS Foundation Trust, mainly responsible for cardiology, renal, elderly care and Berkshire Cancer Centre staff. Been her enearly five years so it can't be all bad. Flexi time means half or full days once a month for golf. Get to look after lots of lovely young nurses as they go through the recruitment process so it has its good day even if it is getting to the point where I'm old enough to be their dad (bad times)
