Once the kids league ended it was pretty close to three o’clock which is the time that my shift was supposed to start on Mondays, so I started a little earlier than usual. Today I picked up an extra shift for a co-worker since I do not usually work Monday nights. Mondays we have just one small league, the Ladies League which has seven teams in it, being fourteen women all together for the league. The ladies were on our blue course tonight, officially teeing off at four o’clock, but like usual all the ladies were here early and the last group teed off at 3:45. We had all of our leagues participants show up tonight, and luckily they were able to get their nine holes in before any of the rain came in. The last group came in at about 5:30, then shortly after that it poured rain for the next half hour or so and after that we did not see much business, just a threesome and a twosome both playing nine holes. Then once they came in after their round I decided to close up for the night.

Today I came in early once again for my boss, coming in at eleven o'clock and today we had a good amount of business from eleven o'clock until two o'clock having only a few open tee times in that span of three hours. So I had to manage people and make sure that they were all going in the direction and keeping up with the pace of play. Then by about three o'clock business slowed down a bit, and we had a gentleman come in who needed a couple of clubs re-gripped, which I was more than happy to do that for him. We also had a foursome that was misbehaving on the course so I had to go out and talk to them about our course rules. They were not too pleased to have me tell them that, but a few of them were also intoxicated, so I had to deal with rather rude customers. But that happens occasionally, where people will not be happy with our service for them and thats just part of the business. After they finished I had a few groups that were still finishing their rounds and once they were done I was able to close up for the night.
Today I came in at two o'clock like usual on Fridays and we had a decent amount of business in the morning and by about two most of the groups from mid-morning were finishing up their rounds. So most of the business that I had today was came in between four and seven o'clock since most people are still at work on Fridays until about five o'clock for most people. Then we saw a fair amount of business for the rest of the day having a few foursomes and several twosomes come out to golf. I also had a man come in that needed a club re-gripped, so I installed that for him and had that done for him after a couple of minutes. Other than that we had a very regular day of business at the golf course today and by about eight o'clock I was able to lock up everything and close for the night.
Today I came in early once again, my boss needed me to come in at eleven o'clock and today when I first came in we had a decent amount of business, having no open tee times until until about 12:15. We had a fairly steady amount of business for the rest of the afternoon from about two o'clock and five o'clock. We had the four-man best ball today for our members today having five teams that participated in the event. So we had 20 of our members who participated in the event all together and I had to post their scores onto the official scoreboard. Then after the best ball event the course quieted down somewhat, having fairly steady business for the rest of the night. We also had a fair amount of people who made tee times for either tomorrow or for sometime in the next week. Then by about eight o'clock we had the last group come in so I was then able to close up for the night.
Today I came in at two o'clock and we had the YMCA Golf Outing that was this morning. They had nine teams that participated in the outing, each team starting out on a hole on our white course, then moving onto the blue course for the back nine. They finished up at around 2:30 to about three o'clock having eighteen carts that needed taken care of and organized properly. Then after the outing had all came in we had a decent amount of open play, having four foursomes, a few twosomes and several single players out on the course for the rest of the evening. I also went to our banquet hall and cleaned off all the tables after the golf outing and took out any trash that needed taking out. Today was a usual day of business, having a decent amount of open play, made a few tee times throughout the day and closed up at about eight o'clock.
Today I came into work at three o'clock and tonight being Wednesday we had the VFW League tonight that teed off at 4:30. The VFW league has two divisions that play, each with twenty teams or forty players. So we have 80 total participants in the league on Wednesdays and today we ended up having a 36 teams that showed up for the league tonight, with the last four teams must not have been able to make it due to work or having other plans. We had division one of the VFW go off on the white tonight and the second division going off of the red course. The last group went off at about 5:15 for the league, so by about 7:30 we had the last group from the VFW league come in, and other than that we had just a couple of other groups that came out for open play. Then after the last few groups came in from open play we were able to close up by about 8:30.
Today my boss asked me to come in earlier than usual, having me come in at eleven o'clock instead of one. Today we had the St. Joe Basketball Outing which had 64 total participants in the outing. We had the outing go out at for a shotgun start at 9:30 in the morning, with each group starting on a hole of either our blue or white course. We had sixteen groups which we sent out to our blue and white courses, leaving just the red course open for open play and tee times. While having the outing we had four groups that played 18 holes that had to play our red course twice, which most people did not mind doing. Then after the outing we had to manage 32 carts organizing them accordingly. After we took care of everyone in the outing we then had a fair amount of open play, having a few foursomes come out in the afternoon keeping the course fairly busy. Then by about eight o'clock the last group came in for the night, so I then closed up the course for the evening.
Today, we had the Crime Victims Golf Outing, which teed off to a shot gun start at 10 o’clock in the morning. So I had to manage everything when they came in at around 2:30 in the afternoon. We had 48 participants in the outing, so we had 24 carts that needed to get put away. After we got all the carts put away, the course was incredibly quiet the rest of the day, having a few scattered people come out between three o’clock and seven o’clock. We ended up having three two-some’s come out, one foursome and a couple of single players come in to golf for the rest of the day. So by about 8:30 I decided to close up for the night since no one was on the course and lock up everything like I usually do.
Today when I came in at one o’clock we had a two-man best ball outing that went off in the morning which had 48 members that participated in the event. I assisted in splitting the profits for the winning teams of the golf outing, which was adding money towards each member’s accounts. After the outing come in, things really quieted down for the rest of the afternoon and evening. Since things were so quiet today I was able to start working on my website. I was able to get nice and caught up on my internship responsibilities and any did a few other odd jobs that do not get done very often at the course. I was able to accomplish these tasks because we had a good chance of rain in the afternoon so there were not too many people who wanted to come and play golf. Then, I was able to close up for the night earlier than usual, due to the good chance of rain.
When I first came in today at two o’clock, we had an outing that was starting to come in for the afternoon. So it was fairly busy for the first hour or two of my shift, then after all the groups came in things were quiet for a little while. Then by about five o’clock we had a decent amount of play come in, having two foursomes and a couple of single players come out here and there for the next hour. We had a few people come out pretty late in the day as well, have a couple come in at about 6:45 wanting to play nine holes. We then had one man come out at seven o’clock wanting to play eighteen holes. So I had a pretty late night waiting for the man to finish his round, with him finishing at about 9:15. At this point I had all of my closing duties completed so all I had to do was put his cart away and lock up the cart basement. Then I set the alarm for the night at about 9:30 and went home.
