Does anyone know of a job that either allows you to play/practice my golf game while working as an accountant? Or are there any golf courses out there that allows a person to do 2 jobs such as golf course accountant/asst pro?

I think you’re on the right track, there has to be at least one course in the world that has a combination pro and bookkeeper.
A great place to start looking at current positions in the golf industry (as well as a place to post your resume) is the PGA JobFinder: http://pgajobfinder.pgalinks.com/helpwan…
Another thing you could be doing to prepare for this career is to work on getting whatever certifications or accreditations are most commonly needed as a course pro.
Finally, as a scratch golfer you undoubtedly have played at some local courses. If you don’t already have a good relationship with at least one course professional and/or high-ranking employee of the course, start networking now! They may be able to provide you references or contacts in the industry later down the road. Try getting a regular (every month or so?) golf game going with a few people who are doing what you want to be doing in five years. You might even find out that they (or someone they know) needs a tax pro or something, you never know…
Best of luck!

I guess you can look for an accountant position with a golf management company, that way you can practice/play during your lunch hour and play after you get off of work.
