ClubProGuy: Tips for hiring the perfect golf course marshal - Golf.com

As a working club pro at an elite facility that accepts Groupons®, I wear lots of hats. In addition to teaching the game at a high level, I also vacuum the pro shop, manage beverage-cart operations and handle (let’s just call them) delicate outside services. It’s a big job. Luckily, I’ve been around long enough to know that the key to any successful golf op
is surrounding yourself with the right people. A solid team makes my job a lot easier. More importantly, it makes
me look hella good.

Aside from the cart girls, the most critical hire a club pro makes is the on-course marshal. The right guy sets the tone for the entire place. Unlike most decision-makers in the golf space, I ignore the temptation to select a customer service–oriented individual with a friendly disposition. If you want to keep rounds under six hours and assure all beers are bought on-site, you want a guy with an edge, a hothead who literally dares members to take their cart off the path at a 70-degree angle, a powder keg who patrols the course as if America’s security depends on it, who believes
the mere sight of a member hitting chip shots onto the putting green warrants a physical confrontation.

Impossible to find, you say? Adhere to my four hiring tips and you’ll have your members terrified in no time.
