Get paid to play golf and travel? Sounds pretty sweet. From the TIMESONLINE:
This sounds like a non-job just like that one running a desert island off the Queensland coast that turned out to be a big come-on for the state’s tourist industry. But I am assured it is for real. YourGolfTravel, set up four years ago by a couple of City types to arrange golf holidays, wants a redundant worker, possibly also with a City background, to go around the world for a year visiting golf courses, researching opportunities and writing reviews.
The successful candidate will be chosen by means of a golf tournament and entrants must have a handicap of less than 14. “It’s a genuine offer, with a competitive salary,” Ross Marshall, one of the founders, tells me. “A lot of my friends have been made redundant and are struggling to find jobs. We’re only offering the job to people made redundant in the last 12 months. A corporate background would be useful, but we’re not restricting it.”
This features an interesting application process. First an essay and then a 18-hole tournament between 18 fianlists to detemine who gets the job. For more info see here.

Seems to me the ability to beat seventeen guys in one round of stroke play and the ability to provide accurate, professional reviews and service information are not necessarily the same thing. But what do I know?
Yeah, that part sort of seems ridiculous. Then again it is an internet golf travel service that is running the thing, so putting this spin on it will certainly draw attention to themselves. Pretty clever actually.
The subsequent time I learn a blog, I hope that it doesnt disappoint me as much as this one. I mean, I know it was my choice to learn, however I actually thought youd have one thing fascinating to say. All I hear is a bunch of whining about something that you would repair should you werent too busy in search of attention.
