As the only independent Onboard Golf Academy in
the world, we are continuously in search of high quality teaching
golf professionals who are qualified and driven to manage a dynamic
and exciting Golf program on the world's largest and most popular
Cruise Lines. We are currently accepting resumes and applications
from teaching golf professionals who would like to join the Elite
Golf Cruises team as an independently contracted
golf professional.
|
These positions call for very independent individuals
who have the capacity and patience to teach at ALL levels and
the ability to interact in social situations with the Cruise Line
guests, staff and port personnel. Onboard Golf Professional candidates
must also possess the motivation and business skills to operate
our on-board operation in its entirety, from self-promotion to
instruction, coordinating shore excursions and onboard retail.
|
|
All qualified professionals sail on a 3-7 day
training cruise with an existing Elite Golf Professional. Each
Golf Professional Trainee will receive instruction on the operation
of the advanced teaching technology and all mandatory reporting
requirements. All professionals will attend a 2 day training program
in the Elite Golf Fort Lauderdale corporate office.
|
|
In addition to the exciting travel, golf and
revenue opportunities, each of our golf professionals will be
given his/her own staff cabin with "limited passenger status",
three meals a day in the staff mess or passenger eateries and
any necessary emergency medical treatment. Elite Golf logo uniform
shirts and hats will be supplied at cost for use during all business
hours and shore excursions activities. There are virtually no
onboard expenses except gratuities, bar and personal shopping.
|
|
The golf professional is wholly responsible for
maximizing his/her teaching schedule to accommodate passenger
requests. There is a permanent teaching cage onboard, which is
shaded and lit for evening play. The golf professional shall organize
and accompany passengers to and from the contracted golf course
on port excursion days and be prepared to play golf with the clients
regardless of their level of skill. The more passengers encouraged
to attend, the more opportunity for additional revenue via rentals,
product sales and gratuities.

COMPENSATION INCENTIVE PLAN:
The current range of compensation is potentially
unlimited. Between onboard sales, commissions and onboard gratuities,
vessels are currently averaging between $250.00 and $500.00 per
week, with higher end vessels reserved for our veteran Onboard
Golf Professionals earning between $800.00 and $1000.00+ per week.
Please note this is an average and not a guarantee. It is based
on the individual's motivation, energy and attitude. Gratuities
earned throughout the week are paid to the golf professional in
cash after each sailing. Commission checks are distributed on
the 1st and 15th of each month and are calculated according to
your onboard sales efforts. Commission checks may be direct deposited
