Interview

I interviewed one of the head professional golfers in my major, and she had some very different things to say about professional golf management, and the business aspect of it. One of the questions that I asked, was: How does the golf business differ from a typical business? The main difference that she stated was that a typical business is busy all year round and they usually do not have a slow period of a year. The golf industry is in fact the exact opposite. During the summer in Florida, most golf clubs are cutting back people and figuring out how too stay under the budget. This is different than a normal company because they usually have their staff set year in and year out, as to where the golf industry is fluctuating all year round. She also said that budgeting in the golf industry is different because the salaries vary so much from person to person.
