blog 5-16

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.

Throughout the week, I was mentored by Joe and Karl, who taught me the ropes and showed me different responsibilities. During the first two days, I focused on learning about the driving range and cart maintenance. I practiced hitting balls at the driving range and then picked and washed the range balls.

I also assisted golfers by cleaning their carts and plugging them in.  On the third day, the workload shifted as it was a slow day at the course. I worked with Joe to organize and clean rental clubs, ensuring each bag had the correct number of clubs. I also tackled the task of organizing numero...

week 2 reflection

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 communicati...
