If it is at a course then I suspect your salary is about right. I dont think you'll fine courses paying you $80k a year.

I know this sounds harsh, but move to mass or NY then if you want to make that kind of money. My point is I dont think you'll find that here in Maine, most courses aren't setup fiscally to support such a high salary.

Maybe Falmouth County Club, etc. but most local courses run tight on money.
Not to say that you shouldn't ask for more, if you feel you are worth it, then point it out and ask.

I moved to Houston in 2014 I was making more money there and it was cheaper to live, but personally for me that didn't matter it was not Maine and I love maine, I just moved back and I will figure it out. You may love it in NY or MA, but these are factors to think about. Money comes and money goes.

And your cost of living would be twice as much or more.
