I once had a service job like this at a resort where I was always getting hit on by customers, who I had to be nice to. I received plenty of business cards which I promptly threw away. Many guys were way too aggressive in their approach. I only became interested in a few guys after they stopped by my area a few times to chat and I got to know them better. I would not like it if they asked my coworkers about me.

Can you play golf there more often (on the days when she works) and have a few more conversations with her? Can you give her a couple free tickets to the festival and ask her and her friends to meet up with you there?

I was going to say this. If he frequents there a lot while she is working then just talk to her and try to get to know her. You'll be familiar to her so she'll warm up to you. Then follow GoCUBS1 advice asking her to meet you at the festival. Good Luck.

Isn't that awkward? I mean, it's not like I know them personally. I'm frustrated because I didn't have a chance to at least strike up a conversation with her the time I golfed there since my golf partner and I (my uncle) are not generally people to buy food/drinks at the golf course. They are overpriced, so even buying something from a cart girl is out of the norm for me.

If you can't afford to buy a drink from her cart, you can't afford to take her out, unless you plan to take her to free events for all your dates (which is a perfectly acceptable option, if you've thought that far ahead). Think of it as an investment in your future. Taking the time to get to know someone a little over time is the best way to make cold-approaching women a successful approach.

No, don't stalk her through her coworkers... That can come off as very creepy. You may need to find another golf partner. Or, can you play solo or go to the driving range and take frequent beverage breaks?

Yes, you'll need to bring more money to buy more overpriced cart beverages in order to get to know her. Agree with Ruth - think of it as an investment.. Also, if you just buy a bucket of balls at the driving range, instead of playing the course, you'll be saving some money anyway...

This morning I went to the putting green at the course in hopes of seeing her since I played last Thursday afternoon, did not see any beverage cart. Is it typical for them to start in the afternoon? I rarely play courses with beverage/beer cart personnel.

Ask a staff member of manager at the club. She may just be part-time.

LOL.... This is actually very cute - I hope it works out for you.... They are usually there by midday/lunch hour I think, but I guess every course is different. Can you call the Pro Shop and say something innocent like, "I haven't had a chance to eat, do you know the hours of the course beverage/snack cart?"

Just keep putting, chipping, and driving until you figure out her schedule. Even if it doesn't work out for you two - your golf game should improve a lot...

That would be no less creepy, I think my best chance would be to play another nine holes (probably next Thursday, the Fourth), and hope that she works that day. Even hanging around the putting green I'm not sure if the beverage cart girls are supposed to ask if they want a drink unless it's clear they are playing a round. Maybe I'll try the driving range this evening.

Only ask her coworkers if you know them well. Dont go up to them saying "What's up with beverage cart girl?" lol
