An as-told-to essay is based on a conversation with a female golfer. It has been edited to make it clearer.

There is a girl on TikTok. Young women who make their living driving bar carts around a golf course and serving drinks are all over the app.

It looks like a lot of money on TikTok. There is more that goes into it sometimes.

This is my first summer as a cart girl

I talked to eight golf courses that were fully staffed and they said there had been an increase in applications because of TikTok. I didn't know it was that big a deal. I thought I would do well at it.

I was hired at a golf course. It takes me four to six hours to work a shift. I stock the cart with everything I need when I get to work. I serve drinks at the golf course. "What can I get you to drink?" is the best way to ask a customer. Instead of saying "Are you all set?", I do that. If you leave it at that, people will say, "Yes, we're good"

I sell more when I test that. It is a fairly basic job. You don't need to do anything else.

I always say I'm like an adult ice-cream truck

Patrons can be a little bit weird at times. The series is called "Ridiculous But True Stories of a Golf Cart Girl." It's possible to ask for a beer called a "Sip of sunshine" and then tell me I'm the sip of sunshine. That's not really harmful.

When men comment on my clothes, whistle at me, or even try to touch me, it's not so harmless. The man who grabbed me once made a mistake because he's trained in MMA.

He told me that he was going to tell my boss. I told him to keep going. I try to keep myself out of the way of someone who is pushing the boundaries.

Being a golf-cart girl is the perfect job for me

I don't work while I'm in school because I want to focus. I have to make enough money to cover my car and insurance during the summer. I save my summer money for what I need in the fall.

I make the most money as a golf-cart girl during the summer. We make a base rate of $16 an hour. The tips can change from day to day. Cart girls making thousands of dollars a day is not realistic for most of us. You can only see that if you work at a course in Miami or Arizona.

I make good money and I have fun

Sharing my cart-girl adventures has helped me grow my TikTok following to more than 35,000. My first paid ad was really cool. TikTok is a way of being entrepreneurial.
