Weekly reflection #3 The last full week at the course was surely and exciting one. This week I got the chance to take on more responsibility on the course and it’s very freeing. Craig had me doing certain jobs like opening the driving range and picking the range all on my own. It’s a really great feeling to start to become apart of things. With any job it takes time to become part of the staff and learn everything that your going to have to do. I got the chance to see some new things as well as keeping with the old jobs. The course had a busy week with tough light league, lakes region championships, and the first big outing of the year. Twilight league is the courses adult weekly league where pairs of two go out every Tuesday night for three weeks hopefully to win in the end. It’s not the most labor intensive event but it involves things like USGA handicaps and other factors that have to be worked out by Craig and Aaron in the pro shop. We also had our golf championship for the la

Tuesday, May 23 Last day of senior project. Sad that it’s over but now the final fun festivities begin. Today I did some editing work on my blog posts after mike looked them over for me. My paper is just about finished and I have started working on my booth. I’m thinking that I’ll bring my clubs up and set up a putting station. Along with this I will show all the pictures I took from the project on a computer. Little bit of a boring day but thats life. Hopefully tomorrow everything goes as planned. I had a lot of fun over these past three weeks I’ve had a lot of fun working at LSCC and it’s really sad to see it go. This will always be a possible career path for me down the road. I’ll be sure to make some visits to play golf at one of my favorite courses.

Monday, May 22 Today was the beginning of the real work of senior project, writing the essay and getting the project ready to show. Now that I had finished my required hours I decided it was time to start working on the final pieces of my project. I started with finishing up my weekend reflection and then got started on the thousand word essay. I wish I could be at the course but I have all my hours so I decided my time would be better spent working on the written proportion of my project. It took me a few hours with some procrastinating but I finished everything I set out to finish. Tomorrow I’ll work on my booth as well as my presentation. Hopefully I can pull it all off over the next two days.

Friday, May 18 As the week winded down so does the project. I go around doing my normal morning jobs, picking the range and helping around the shop. It was a quiet day so not to many bags needed to be taken out of the bag room. Craig had me fold some cards but otherwise I was free to go play some golf. Ryan. And I went out and played for a bit and then I headed back to campus for a final golf team meeting. Looks like these three weeks are coming to an end and it was a lot of fun. I learned a lot here and really happy I was able to do this. Daily hours : 2 Total hours : 54

Thursday, May 17 Craig had me come to the course early this morning because it was the first major outing of the year. The black fly open was happening at lake Sunapee country club and over 120 people would be attending the charity golf event. I got there around eight am and there was a lot to do. I started out by helping pull all the golf carts out and stocking them with pencils, tees, waters, and scorecards. Once all the carts were organized by tee of it was time to start registering people. At nine o’clock people started rolling in. My job was to drive around in a cart taking peoples bags from there car and bringing them to their golf carts. After about an hour of this it was time for tee of. Craig got on the microphone sending all the players to their tees which quieted down the course for the rest of the day. Since there was an outing there was very little too do, so I just stayed in the pro shop and helped around there until practice. Daily hours : 3 Total hours : 52

Wednesday, May 16 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. Daily hours : 3 Total hours : 49

Tuesday, May 15 I woke up today to on and off rain showers that really put a damper on my day. I headed down to the course at nine thirty too start helping around. There wasn’t too many jobs but Craig kept me busy enough. Ryan and I went out and changed all the water coolers around the course for the upcoming tournaments that will be happening. Between the lakes region championship and the black fly open things are going to be very hectic around here. We set up the new flagsticks for the tourney and then went out and picked the range again. The rain steadily poured down but we pushed on and had practice in the rain because tomorrow is the big day. It’s going to be a tough one but I think we can win. Daily hours : 4 Total hours : 46
