I’ve just received something very exciting in my inbox. It’s a job posting for an opening in the golf industry that will no doubt have thousands of golfers scrambling to submit an application.

Your golftravel.com is offering, one extremely lucky individual the opportunity to travel and play the world’s best golf courses for a whole year AND get paid for the privilege. Turnberry, Pebble Beach and St. Andrews will be the caliber of golf course on the itinerary. The job specs are nothing more than to play and then write about these fantastic courses and the facilities on offer. Sound good?

Golf jobs (or any jobs for that matter) don’t come much better than this one and with unemployment at record levels, there will certainly be a great deal of interest. Golfers who apply will be screened firstly on their writing skills (and a handicap of less than 14 is a pre-requisite) and a short-list of applicants will battle it out over a round of golf to determine who spends a year in paradise, playing and writing about the great game of golf.
