LUCKIEST
I live in Sedlia Mo, I am retired from the AF national guard, don't get to collect pay until I turn 60, hopefully that will change. I'm originally from Chicago, married with 7 children, I work full time at a hospital in Warrensburg MO which is 30 mins west of Sedalia. I am an x-ray/CT tech on the over night shift, really enjoy my job. I majored in Architecture in high school, which I enjoyed the hell out of, but could'nt get the job that was offered to me in 1975 due to transportation problems then. I join the Air Force there after but no jobs (so I was told) in drafting available. Why Golf? I love golf playing it and teaching it to some of my friends. I have been playing since 1987, I am not great at it but I can hold my own. I have information from three franchise companie, Nevada Bob's, Golf USA, and Golf etc. I have never been in business for myself, but I believe the training in the military and supervising people and being responsible and accountable for military equipment worth millions has prep me to run a company, also it will give me more time with the family after it is running smoothly. There are approxmately 6 golf courses in my city, and numerous more within a 30 mile radius all around. There isn't a store that caters to golf equipment and merchandise in that area other than Kmart and Walmart, and their inventory is very limited. I am African American and figured I could get a loan because of my minority status which is encouraged. thanks for your interest, and any information and/or guidance you provide will be totally appreciated.
