How retirees make money from golf
You love golf. Or maybe it is baseball.
Or perhaps soccer is your game. Obviously, you will
not earn the millions that golf champions do, but here are
a couple of ideas of how to make some extra spending
money based on your interest and knowledge of
sports.

A man we met recently resells slightly used
sports equipment at flea markets. He buys
the equipment at garage and moving sales.
One tip he offered: make sure that the
sporting equipment--golf clubs, soccer
balls, baseball bats, baseball gloves,
etc.--are in very good condition. If they
look beat-up, they will not command a
profit-making price. |
He told us he also sells some of the items he buys to
a local store that specializes in used sports
equipment. Used sporting goods stores are not located
in all parts of the country, so search online for one
nearby.

Sports knowledge swings open
the retail door
Retirees are often more willing to
work part time
or odd hours and those factors can
increase a person's chances of being hired to
work in a sporting goods store or a golf shop. Younger people generally want full time work.
|
You can further increase your chances for employment
by being willing to work odd hours: early morning,
for example, or on holidays or weekends. Again,
this gives you, as a retiree, an edge over younger
people who might not want to work at those times.
Then, when you get the job you will be doing what you
really enjoy!
Sports online can mean money in your pocket
You could also earn money by setting up a website
that focuses on local sports and sporting events.
