They don't set up the course for play.

They don't develop a junior program.
They "front & center".
They don't manage pace-of-play.
They don't promote the game.

(IMO)

I've never seen one except in the Magazine.

they do setup course and putting green for tournaments, they give lessons, they run the pro shop and manage the inventory, they oversee the championship and executive courses, they oversee the driving range, they answer any emergency that happens on the course, they manage all employees at their courses, they prepare the work schedule for all employees, they review all employees time card, they manage replacement and management of their rental golf carts and rental clubs. I can only speak of Palmer because I worked there for 6 years. It's a thankless job.
