I believe all of GMS' 1,000 part time employees would agree.
I am a retired PGA professional. I am still a member of the PGA and have taught in all sorts of different environments including college classes and golf schools as well as private instruction.

I have also managed several golf courses. I worked in the golf business for thirty five years. I think that I can do pretty much any job that I am asked to do. In my years in the business, I have not only worked as a starter and ranger, I have also hired and managed starters and rangers as well as pro shop staff and food and beverage staff.

I don't have any problem taking instruction.

As far as being available 24/7, I may have not explained that properly. I do believe that once you are hired you will be given a schedule and have free time to do as you please. The point that they made was that they wanted to set your schedule according to their needs with little or no regard for your availability. Maybe they emphasized that a bit more than was necessary, but it was said at my interview. Maybe they do take into consideration your availability, but that was not what was explained to me.
