This is retail sales and recreational service work in the operation and maintenance of a pro shop at a public golf course.

Employees in this class collect fees and schedule starting time for golfers, operate pro shop providing golfing supplies, patrol the course to enforce regulations and assist golfers as necessary and to insure proper playing conditions. Incumbents insure that the rules and etiquette of the game are followed and that the facilities are used properly by all players. Work requires the exercise of some independent judgment in providing satisfactory services to the patrons and in interpreting course regulations to golfers in a courteous manner. Departmental procedures and the rules of golf prescribe the operating procedures used in performing the assigned work. Routine duties are carried out with only general supervision from a golf facility superior who checks daily cash receipts for accuracy and inspects course in use to determine if rules are being followed by golfers.
