Today was a pretty big day. The lakes region championship would be teeing off at two thirty. I would be playing alongside three other proctor kids for the title. I got the the course a little later and started off with some light working in the pro shop. Folding cards and unpacking deliveries. Then Craig had me to go check pin placements for the tournament as well as practice some chipping and putting. After this I went down to the range to start warming up and met the team at one. I didn’t play my best round and we ended up coming in third. All in all was a great season and I’m really proud of the team for being regular season champs even though we couldn’t be individual champs.

Friday, May 11 Today I arrived at the course at nine checking in at the pro shop with Craig. I was in the pro shop for most of the morning, and about an hour in the assistant pro fainted. Something was seriously wrong with him and he could barely make it up stairs too his room. We got him up there and eventually with some hydration and sugar he started to feel better. After this interesting turn of events I went down to the range to help pick balls for an hour. Next Craig let me go out and do some short game work on the chipping green so I could get some practice in before my match against Tilton. We ended up sweeping Tilton winning the match with ease.

With something like golf there are always wonders that occur behind the scenes to make the conditions as perfect as possible. My senior project this week especially has shown me how a golf course gets ready for the season. This mostly includes mornings of very hard work followed by afternoons of easy work or even sneaking in eighteen holes with some of the guys working there. My first couple mornings were filled with the taxing jobs of putting down the water hazard stakes around the course as well as putting up the midway net at the driving range. Both are things that go almost unnoticed when playing golf but having done the job it gives you a whole new perspective on the game. Every time I see a red or yellow stake on a course I’ll remember when I had too spend two hours in the hot sun learning exactly where to put them. Every time I drive a ball into the net I’m going to think about the time I had too painstakingly clip in all four hundred rusty clips that hole the net up while gett

Day four Today was a more relaxed day. I got to the course around nine thirty and began my day by demoing the new Taylor Made clubs that the pro shop just got and comparing them to the Titleist clubs I had tried at the beginning of the week. The Taylor Mades in my opinion were far superior and added about twenty yards of distance to my drives. They allowed me to have more control over the ball so that I could put a controlled hook or fade on the ball if I wanted too. After this I went out on the course and played nine holes with Ryan one of the people who works at the course. I left around eleven then came back at two too start warming up for my match against KUA. I played a really good match and it was close until the end.  I unfortunately made a couple bad mistakes and their number number two golfer got the better of me. I wasn’t happy and we didn’t get back until about seven but besides losing the day was great and the chance to play golf this much has really had an effect on my g
