I tried the marshall thing once but quickly realised you can't marshall your own course as you become not well liked by some of your members. It didn't matter that I was doing my job and asking members to keep up with the pace of play. My late father found out the same thing when he was a marshall.

I completely understand and have had glimpses of that. LOL its actually quite amazing how golfers react to the presence of the course cop. I have a membership at a different course then where I marshalled. I just cover the guys when they go away on vacation or can’t make a shift, it’s great having industry privileges and perks in the Okanagan for only working one or two days a month.
