Weekly reflection
this week as my thrust increased I was given more jobs to do learn around the course. Over the past Few weeks I have become apart of the staff a little bit more. Craig sends me out to learned jobs that hopefully I’ll be able to do on my own towards the end of my project. This week I got to get out and do some pretty interesting things. I got the chance to learn how to operate a range picker which has been a lifelong dream of mine until I did it and realized it gets a little unexciting. I learned how to set up a grass driving range and what goes into deciding where it will be and weather the grass will grow back before the end of the season. I learned how to tow a golf cart as well as change a tire on one which is fairly similar to changing a car tire.
Doing all these jobs have brought me closer to the other employees and I’m starting to blend in there as a regular worker. I go out most days with Ryan, Craig and Aaron and they teach me all there daily jobs as well as jobs that just arrise during spring. This is the time when the most work is present because they still are opening certain things and getting them ready for the summer. Eventually the course will be at normal operation but until then we do jobs like putting stakes in and putting range nets up after they were taken down for the winter. My second week at the course has been a fun one but defiantly had it’s harder days. At the end of this which is coming up fast I think I will have learned a lot about golf course management.
Total hours : 38
