I'm pretty sure you have one more requirement. Live in or be willing to move to New York. Sounds like a sweet deal, but out here in Wisconsin that commute would be terrible.

Ditto for coming from MN

[Kenny B]

OK, I think my commute would be worse than from Wisconsin or MN.  Maybe I qualify on #1 and #2, but at my age I am well past meeting #3, the ability to learn.

I know both their stores well and visit the often. I may be one of the few on the site close enough to get there but not sure I could sell the CEO at home on the career change.

[RookieBlue7]

Hmm... Wonder what they pay?

Doubt it would be enough to make my wife happy about a career change

Oh I'm sure it wouldn't be enough lol.

Less than 100k?

[Jmikecpa]

Less than 100k?

My guess is well south of $100k. $100k per year translates to right around $48 an hour based on a 40 hour work week. Not sure you could function paying your staff at that level even if you get to that number through a blend of salary and sales commissions.

Now, if they only had a branch office in South Dakota...

Trying to figure out how you could live in NYC for less than 100k. Actually in my case, I'm not sure I would live there for 5 times that. Denver is bad enough. I live in the mountains to get away from that mess already. It does sound like a cool job for someone who already is settled in there though.

About half a dozen years ago I turned down a job to go work for Callaway in Carlsbad- the 85k a year salary sounded great until I looked up the cost of living. Yikes! I thought Chicago was expensive, it's nothing compared to California/NY.

The only way that you can would be if you are in a rent control building that makes the rent affordable by NY standards.

Salesmen and fitters are not the place for gearheads.

 

Design engineers, tooling engineers, and process engineers are where we need gearhead golf nuts.

 

I am absolutely certain that the only way I could ever have a bag of clubs which exactly match what I want in my mind is to commission the actual tooling myself.  

 

Golf to me has always been about playing with compromised equipment, and I've wasted a ton of money chasing a minimally acceptable bag  with mixed results at best.

 

Find a way to give the player EXACTLY what he/she wants. That would be the real breakthrough.
