“None Of Us Had Any Money”: Tom Brady Once Confessed How He Scammed His Way Into Getting to Enjoy His Favorite Pastime

Being in college is a great ride. Having a lot of energy and time to enjoy the things that you like. But that does not necessarily mean that it will translate into endless resources to do so. However, people find crafty ways to get around this malady. Even Super Bowl champion, Tom Brady, once shared how he literally worked on golf courses to enjoy his favorite pastime. He had to take up gigs at the course to play the sport.

TB12 once shared his resume from college back in 2014. And oddly enough, below his Merrill Lynch internship in 1999, there are two golf jobs as well. The 7 time Super Bowl champion has had a special place for golf, right after football. When asked about his jobs on the golf course, the player replied, “….it was my way to play free golf, because none of us had any money in college.” He was playing football for the University of Michigan back then, but that did not stop him from finding time to enjoy golf as well.

The love of golf runs deep in Tom Brady

Tom Terrific worked two golf jobs. The first was at Polo Fields Golf and County Club, as a course ranger and sales representative. The second one was at the University of Michigan, Golf Course as an assistant clubhouse manager.

And according to the player, getting better at football came at a price for him. “Over the years, my golf got worse as my football got better,” revealed Brady.
