Golf Caddy: This is a somewhat common job that you can usually apply for at many golf clubs, especially higher-end clubs. Pay ranges from anywhere between 50 to 100 dollars for roughly 4 hours of work on an entire 18 hole course, according to Investopedia.

By necessity, you must understand how golf works and which clubs to give the player at certain points in the course, as well as having decent knowledge of the course and all the different terrains and hazards that are laid present.  So, if you’re a golfer and you have a course that you’ve played at multiple times, this could be an enjoyable and relatively easy way to make a pretty nice sum of money over the summer. https://www.peacockgapgolfclub.com/contactus    https://www.bayclubs.com/contact/
