Thank you for your interest in becoming a Golf & Travel Consultant!

   
We are seeking individuals in each state to join our nationwide team and if you enjoy golf and travel, you'll love being a certified Golf & Travel Consultant. We'll show you how to get paid doing what you love - as well as meeting great people and helping others along the way.
 
This program was developed by Golf Connect (the management company for the Golf Galaxy Golf Tour & Children's Miracle Network $1,000,000 Hole-in-One Challenge) who since 1997 has consulted over 300 golf-related businesses nationwide, managed over 1,000 golf tournaments, and developed relationships with prominent golf companies such as Callaway Golf, Golf Galaxy, golf.com, and GOLF Magazine.
 
Our unique program benefits everyone involved: you, golf event coordinators, golfers, local charities, and the courses. With a little training and support, you, too, can "live the dream" of getting paid to golf and travel.

VI. HOW MUCH TIME DOES IT TAKE?
    
You may work as much or as little as you desire. GTC's can be successful working this as little as 5 hours a month. As with any program, results are proportional to effort.

VII. HOW COME IT IS AS LOW AS $79 FOR THIS PROGRAM?
   
Yes, you can actually start your own home-based golf business for as low as $79!
 
We here at Golf Connect have realized over the past 10 years that our best advertising is word of mouth. When golfers like you play in our events, go on our trips, and experience our products and services first hand, it becomes natural to tell others.
    
Rather than spend money on traditional marketing (newspaper, radio, tv), our goal is to have thousands of golfers nationwide sharing what we do with others and we feel as though you deserve to be compensated for your efforts - hence our offering to pay commissions to those who refer others and make it ultra-affordable for you to get started.
     
Best of all, you can continue to do what you are already doing - golfing, traveling, playing in fun golf events - we'll just show you how to channel your spending through your own home-based business so that you can save money, earn a supplemental income AND enjoy the tax advantages of being "in the golf business".    
 
You'll get everything you need to start your road to getting paid to play golf and take vacations.
