Walk. Spot balls. Get paid.

1 to 2 business days after the round, via Stripe to your bank. Tips land the same way.

No. Your $54 net per round is locked in once you're on the platform. We can't reduce it without your written consent or 60 days notice that lets you deactivate first. The commitment is in our Terms of Service, Section 6.

Yep, you're your own boss. Set your hours, pick your courses, work when you want. If you earn over the IRS threshold for the year, you'll get a 1099 form.

A little. You don't need to play yourself, but you should know the basics. How holes are laid out, where shots tend to land, where to stand for the best view. If you've played a round or two, you're set.

Yes. Every new spotter goes through a short video orientation that covers where to walk, where to stand, and how to handle the trickier situations. You'll know what good spotting positions look like before your first round.

Comfortable walking shoes, a towel to mark balls, a hat, sunglasses (helps you track balls against the sky), sunscreen, water. Your phone in case the group needs to reach you.

A polo and a hat. No jeans, no shorts above the knee.

At the first tee, 15 minutes before their tee time. Introduce yourself, then head out ahead of them when they tee off.

Politely introduce yourself and tell them you're with Hold My Tee and that you're spotting for [golfer's name] today at [tee time]. Send other questions to support@holdmytee.app.

No. Bags stay on the cart. The job is foot-only, you walk ahead and track shots.

Politely say "I'm just here to spot shots." Don't guess. Bad advice costs them a stroke and you the tip.

If you have a rangefinder on you, call it while you're at the ball. Don't guess without one, same rule as clubs, bad info costs them a stroke and you the tip.

Polite no, you're working. Water or a soda is fine.

Any course that's on the Hold My Tee list in your app. We work with each pro shop in advance, course by course. "Public" doesn't mean walk-on, pro shops can turn away outside spotters. Add the listed ones to your profile, and suggest any course you'd like us to reach out to.

Be friendly to the pro shop and starter when you arrive. Stay clear of other groups. Your Cheat Sheet covers how to act with your group.

Send them our way. Point them to support@holdmytee.app and we'll handle it from there. We carry liability insurance and can send a Certificate of Insurance if they want one on file.
