Career Transition for Golf Enthusiasts: Advice for UK Professionals

Question
Hi Michael

I work as a fund accountant for a reputable hedge fund company and it is a good job but it is not for me. My love lies in golf and i am seriously considering making a career move. Problem is i am based in london so not sure you knowledge, which i presume is largely centred around golf in ths states will be much help to me in the UK. Can you direct me to a similar service to get some advice on getting my foot into the golfing door internationally.

Thanks, you help will be much appreciated

Answer
Gavin,

There are many facets of the golf business. I started in 1981 and enjoyed every minute of it.

I found a link to a web site that has many different international golf associations. This should be a great start for you. You may also go to a club nearby and talk to the Golf Pro. He/ She should have some insight for you.
