From experience I can confirm, given their instructions and directions none that I have met would qualify to be an Ambassador or "Ranger" at one of the significant private or well known public courses in the US.
That's a very interesting comment. When I first came here, I applied for a job as an ambassador. If you don't know, I am a retired PGA professional with over 35 years experience in the golf industry.
Among many other things, I've been the head professional at three different clubs. One a resort, one a public course and one a private club.
I have hired rangers and starters as well as assistant pros and other personnel.
I worked as a ranger and a starter when I was an PGA apprentice.
I was turned down for the job as ranger. I was told that I was not qualified.
The only thing that I could think of was that they have their own way of doing things and they don't want anyone with any kind of experience doing things their own way.
