At 14, I got my first job at a golf course in Annandale, Virginia. I worked there for three summers. In hindsight, I'm grateful - I learned how to parallel-park golf carts, how to cook, and got hours of invaluable exposure to people I desperately wanted to be nothing like.
What about golf hunting tourists isn't appealing? You're on a beautiful course trying to get a ball inyour slob out of a hole without exerting a ton of energy. You're not up against anybody but yourself and likewise you don't rely on anybody but yourself. You can compete but in the end it's up to you to get the job done and nobody is stopping you from doing it. It's a great game, too bad it's so freaking expensive to play. It's not really worth starting up unless you can devote money (and time I suppose), and legal fees to get good at it. You can't just go to the park and practice your jump shot.
