Summary

I have experience working at golf courses since college. I have worked the beverage cart, pro-shop, carts, starter and ranger. I worked for Orange Lake Resort in Orlando and then worked for Heritage Oaks in Sarasota. I have knowledge of the game and I know course etiquette. I have worked as a body guard to several pro golfers over the years and I worked for Arnold Palmer at his Bay Hill community. I am looking for a part time job to continue working in this field.
