golf course management

 Today was the twelfth day of senior project at the Country Club of New Hampshire. I started off the day by moving some carts out of the barn onto the line. Making sure everything looks nice for golfers. I noticed a cart that looked a little beet up off in the corner, so I went to check it out. Turns out there were some kids last night who took a cart out and beat the living hell out of it. They were driving through bunkers and onto greens, along with many other acts. We had a little criminal investigation on our hands because there were more than $1,500 dollars in damages. We looked through the tee sheet and conversed with the starter, and narrowed down the culprits. After that, I hit some balls on the range. 4 hours today, 54 total hours. 

During this week's five days at the Country Club of New Hampshire, I gained valuable insights and developed various skills related to golf course operations. In the first three days, I  focused on tasks such as range maintenance, cart organization, and equipment management. I learned the importance of keeping the range clean by removing divots and picking up balls. I also became familiar with the process of moving and organizing carts to ensure an efficient flow. Additionally, I was introduced to the responsibilities associated with managing the rental clubs, organizing them properly, and sorting the miscellaneous clubs in the old pro shop. These experiences enhanced my understanding of the behind-the-scenes operations at the club.  On the fourth day, I had the opportunity to deal with customer service-related challenges. I addressed complaints from golfers about slow play and effectively resolved the dispute. This experience highlighted the importance of effective communication an

Today was the eleventh day of senior project at Country Club of New Hampshire. It was a beautiful day out, and the tee sheet was almost completely full this morning. I started off the day by moving some carts around. I also helped some older folks take their clubs from their car and put them onto their cart. Once things mellowed out a bit, Spanky and I went over the bank in Andover to deposit some cash from the week. Once I returned, Derek and I went into the old pro shop and started organizing the clutter of golf clubs scattered everywhere. After things were looking nice in there, it was back to the usual of washing carts and replacing carts in the line with cleaned and charged carts. 4 hours today, 50 total hours. 

 Today was the tenth day of senior project at Country Club of New Hampshire. It was very cold this morning, but there were actually a lot of golfers headed out to play when I arrived. There were a lot of carts out of line, so Karl and I got to work making sure everything looked nice. Since it was already busy on the course, Karl and I headed out on the cart to do some rangering. There was a group that flagged us down and complained about the group in front of them playing slow, so Karl and I dealt with the dispute. I then hit some balls on the range since it was warming up some. I was hitting the balls so well on the range I decided to go play 9 holes. It was a great decision to do so, I enjoy playing golf alone and I played well. I shot a 44. 6 hours today, 46 total hours. 

Today was the ninth day of senior project at Country Club of New Hampshire. I started off the day by picking the range. Whoever was working last night did a terrible job, so I had a lot of balls to pick up and wash. It was freezing cold out today so there were not too many golfers going out. However, there was a group of men checking into the hotel. Derek gave me the rundown on hotel reservations and how CCNH meal plan works for their guest. After some time spent inside warming up, there were some old umbrellas that needed to be moved into Jim's trucks, so I did so. I would normally hit balls towards the end of my day, but it was too damn cold. 4 hours today, 40 total hours. 

Today was the eighth day of senior project at Country Club of New Hampshire. It was cold and overcast today so there were not to many golfers going out this morning. I started off the day by organizing some carts and making the kind of carts look pretty. I then helped Karl pick some range balls and clean them. Karl and I then went into the woods boarding the range and picked out as many balls as we could. After that, the course pro Derek asked me if I wanted to go out and play on the course so I took him up on that. On the course, I really focused on smart shots and not taking unnecessary risky shots. This affected my score for the better but I felt like I played worse. 5 hours today, 36 total hours.
