Professional Assistant information

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Professional Assistant, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Professional Assistant, you need excellent organizational skills, attention to detail, and proficiency in administrative tasks, often supported by a diploma or relevant office experience. Familiarity with office software suites like Microsoft Office, calendar management tools, and sometimes basic bookkeeping systems is typically required. Strong communication, time management, and discretion are essential soft skills that set top assistants apart. These skills are vital for ensuring smooth daily operations, effective support for executives, and maintaining a professional workplace environment.

How does a Professional Assistant typically manage multiple priorities and adapt to changing demands throughout the workday?

Professional Assistants often juggle a variety of tasks, from scheduling meetings and managing correspondence to supporting project work. The ability to effectively prioritize and re-prioritize is essential, especially when urgent requests arise or plans change unexpectedly. Communication with supervisors and team members is key to ensuring that the most critical tasks are addressed first, while less time-sensitive responsibilities are rescheduled as needed. Utilizing digital tools like calendars and task managers can help streamline workflows and maintain organization. Over time, Professional Assistants develop strong problem-solving skills and resilience, making them valuable contributors to any team.

What are Professional Assistants?

Professional Assistants are individuals who provide administrative, organizational, and clerical support to professionals, executives, or teams within a business or organization. Their responsibilities often include managing schedules, handling correspondence, arranging meetings, preparing reports, and performing other tasks to help ensure smooth office operations. Professional Assistants play a key role in improving efficiency and allowing their supervisors to focus on higher-level responsibilities.

The main difference between a Professional Assistant and an Administrative Assistant lies in their qualifications and work scope. Professional Assistants usually have higher education and perform more specialized tasks in professional settings, while Administrative Assistants handle general clerical duties across various industries. Both roles are essential for organizational support but differ in complexity and required credentials.

Job description

The First Assistant Golf Professional position will assist the Head Golf Professional in all areas including, but not limited to: the management of daily golf operations, including managing the tracking play, control of the tee sheet, protecting and controlling club assets, assisting with all merchandising functions, managing tournaments, teaching lessons and providing other professional services to ensure an exceptional golf experience to our members and guests.
The centerpiece of Brewster, Washington, the Sands and QuickSands Course at Gamble Sands are located on 115 acres of fine fescue grasses, designed by renowned golf course architect David McLay Kidd of DMK Golf Design. At "Gamble," golfers enjoy the feeling of pure golf with panoramic vistas, and the beautiful Cascade Mountains and Columbia River meandering through the distance on every hole. No planes buzz overhead, no traffic rattles in the background. It's you, your playing partners, and golf, the way it was meant to be played. We have four unique golf experiences, including:
Award Winning Gamble Sands Course - Opened 2014
*New* Scarecrow Course - Opened August 1, 2025
14-hole QuickSands Short Course
Cascade Putting Course
Essential Responsibilities:
  • Maintain a good standing within active classification in the PGA of America.
  • Supervise and manage the total golf operations in a professional and efficient manner in the absence of the Head Golf Professional.
  • Provide excellent customer services, professional advice and assistance to all patrons.
  • Control and manage play; ensure guest check-in and fee collection.
  • Management of the tee sheet.
  • Provide golf instruction and clinics that is consistent with instructional methods, policies and procedures.
  • Supervise and train all golf operations personnel as directed by the Head Golf Professional.
  • Assist in the purchasing, receipt, display, inventory, control, promotion and sales of merchandise.
  • Conduct one's self in a professional manner and maintain a professional image at all times consistent with PGA standards.
  • Be informed on and promote all club activities and services.
  • Co-manage the GHIN Handicap program.
  • Assist in managing tournaments and outings with Golf Genius.

Experience Required:
  • PGA Member Preferred, but PGA Associates in Level 2 or higher (and in good standing) are encouraged to apply.
  • 1-3 years' experience at a "service oriented" facility (e.g. resort, private or similar) preferred.
  • Retail and any leadership/management experience a plus.

Compensation:
  • Range for hourly pay with base rate (projecting $26-$28/hr) and budgeted OT is projected to range from $54,000-$62,000 and will be commensurate with experience.
  • Lesson Income (Range $1500-$4000 per year; subject to candidate's ability to engage the membership in lessons, small group clinics, etc.).
  • Total anticipated compensation expected to range from $55,000-$65,000.
  • Unlike many positions in Northern "Central WA State," this is a full-time year-round position with hours basically guaranteed. As part of this agreement between ownership and the staffer, off-season duties will include working at the Inn and helping the F&B, and Maintenance Dept when needed.
  • For the right person, including anyone looking to learn more about the entirety of a resort operation, including possibly becoming an Asst GM, or GM later in their career this could be a solid "learn all of the ropes" type opportunity with Troon Golf.

Benefits for qualified associates:
  • Health insurance per Gamble Sands/Troon policy.
  • Dental insurance per Gamble Sands/Troon policy.
  • 401K plan with employer match per policy.
  • Lessons - 100%.
