Question

What does it take to get on pro golf staff with mizuno or taylormade?

Answer 1

Chad -

I was on the TaylorMade staff when I was working as an assistant pro.

There was a member at my course who was actually the local Taylor equipment rep, so that worked out very nicely for me, plus I was more willing to shill the TaylorMade junk we were selling in the shop (these were the days of the supersteel clubs) While I was on their staff I was lucky enough to get custom fit for a set of the X300 FCI's ... they were awesome, and I traded them for a set of Hogan Channelbacks....dumbest move ever!

My advice for you is to try and network yourself at your next local demo day event.....talk to the club reps and ask them what it would take for you to get on their staff....if you're a pro or a top amateur it's not as hard as you might think....you just have to know the right people!

Good Luck!

Answer 2

If you are talking about being a club pro, companies will put you "on staff" for one of the following reasons, or a combination of reasons.

1. You buy a lot of merchandise from this company, or the company is looking to increase their business at your facility.

2. You are a really good player.  I'm talking about top 20 in your section.

3. You have a personal relationship with your rep.

Answer 3

Probably about a -0- Handicap ~!

Answer 4

you have to be really good, good luck with that

Answer 5

You have to be either a tourning pro or a assistant/head pro at a golf course..

Answer 6

credentials. a good golf knowledge, technical knowledge, and a good game help too. I would say apply and tell us what they say. Also you have to be able to sell ice to eskimos. Remember anyone who owns clubs already has them, and a pro is expected to sell more clubs to those people.

Answer 7

My guess would be to contact them to see if they need any pro-style help in their marketing department.
