Ever dreamed of a job where you just play golf? You could be about to swing into that dream position. A consortium of leading regional marketing groups in Scotland golf are offering one lucky individual a golf job with a difference, albeit it’s not an official job and only temporary for two weeks — but who cares, right?
Scotland is The Home of Golf; it’s where the game began and is one of the best, if not the best golfing destination on the planet.
The marketing group is looking for the right candidate to play golf in all seven regions around Scotland in a golf extravaganza — Ayrshire, Carnoustie Country, the Highlands, East Lothian, Aberdeen, Perthshire, and Fife. He or she will play some of the best courses, unearthing unique golf experiences, sampling amazing Scottish hospitality, food, drink and lots more.
They are now accepting applications for this two week “job” where you will travel the country playing golf along the way. What’s the catch? Just a small one — they will make you work a little by creating amazing content on the courses, at the places you stay, where you eat out and areas you explore, all for you to put together a golfer’s dream come true Golf Guide to Scotland.
The lucky winner will play a Ryder Cup Venue, a course where The Open began, the Number two course in the world as voted by one prominent golf publication, plus many more.
To apply you need to create a short video reviewing your own course or any course in the most fun way (video should be 60 – 90 seconds long). You can use drone footage, phones, cameras or whatever works best for you.
Show off your presenting skills by applying here. Check out a short promo video above and get inspired!
