The first day i started my internship i had to help set a golf contest up. i thought it was pretty interesting because i never seen a real live golfing contest before and i had to help organize it. The contest was was who could hit the golf ball the longest from the first hole. There was plenty of local people who joined the contest, also a couple of teenagers from Colombian high school golf team. what my job was to mark the yards by ten, we started from the bridge and worked are way up until we got up to 300 yards. after that i had to go help set the tent up and help bobby register people in order to compete in the contest. when the contest was done, one of my co-workers showed me around the club house and what where my duties for next time.

when i arrived to the golf course, they gave me another tour around the club house just to refresh my memory. they told me what i had today and it a little difficult because i had to do most of the work on my own. The work they wanted me to do was clean up the side room where they kept most of there drink, golf clubs, golf balls, and others. After i get done cleaning up i have to re-organize the room, which i had to move some big steal shelf by myself and wooden locker. after i got done with that i had to ask one of co-worker to move a bigger steel shelf a foot to the left, so it can closer to the closet. when i got done with all of that i had to pick up all of the garbage around the club and including inside the club house. then i had to go pick the range because there weren't that many golf balls next to the register. picking the range is pretty cool because all you do is drive a machine that picks up all of the golf balls. when i got done with everything, i try to teach myself how to hit a ball with a golf club. Lets just say i am not the best golfer in the world.

another day at the golf was interesting because i had to make sure whatever golf balls i get from the picker where cleaned. so that means as a i get done picking up all of the golf balls from the picker, i immediately had to put them in the ball washer. when i went to the ball washer it looks a little beat up probably from the previous year and also i noticed the water in the ball washer smelled really bad like rotten eggs. before i put the golf balls in the washer i made sure i changed the water out so it wouldn't make the golf balls smell the club house. when i changed the water, it was so disgusting because the water was black and smelled really bad. You could tell nobody hasn't changed the water in a very long time. when i got done changing the water and cleaning all of the golf balls, i had to clean up club house and help one of my co-workers fill up the beers in the coolers.

It was a very light day working at the golf course because there wasn't that many things to do but bobby still found things for me to do. One of them was to fill up all the golf cart with gas and it pretty cool because i do not have to go to far to fill them up. the reason why is because he has his own little gas station at his golf course. It is right behind the dumpster next to the locker rooms (members only). After the sixth or seventh cart i started to fill funny because of breathing up the gas. as soon as that happen I stopped doing everything because i started to fill dizzy and could not focus on my work. So i just started to wipe down all of the carts and made sure there was no trash inside of them. when i got done with that i had to make sure there where score card in all of them and small pencils, so they could keep track on there scores during the game. when i got done with that i had to start doing my normal clean before i leave the club house.

Today at the golf course i had to fill up all of the coolers. there are a total of four coolers in the golf course and i have to make sure there is fresh water and ice inside. i have to first empty them out before i put fresh water in them. as soon as i get done with all of that make sure there is no bird dropping around the cooler because that is very unsanitary and nasty. if was a golfer there i would not want to see that around the cooler where i am going to get water at. the coolers are the golf member so they wont get dehydrated during there game or when they are just thirsty. after that i had to go pick the balls at the range because there was not enough golf balls inside the club house.

As soon as i got to the golf course i had to make sure there where fresh water and ice inside the water coolers on the golf course. the reason why bobby makes sure there is fresh water is because he does not want his customers drinking water from early that morning. in order for me to get the water, i had to get all four coolers on the golf course and bring them to the back bar. first i have to fill up the coolers with ice, then i pour the cold water from back of the bar. As soon as i get with all of that, then i have to put all of the coolers back where i got them and take out all the trash from golf course. It takes about at least 30-35 minutes to gather all the trash and making sure all of the bird crap is cleared out. after all of that i had to make sure all of the balls where picked up from the range.

since its going to be a short day at the golf course, i had to make sure everything was going to be finish before i went home. first thing on my check list was to make sure the upstairs room was cleaned and organized. They threw a party upstairs so everything was in the wrong place. For example all the chairs where in the center room and all of the decoration where still laying around from the party. so i had to stack up all of the chairs and put them by the wall. after that i had to get a couple of trash bags and gather all of the trash from the party. When i got done with all of that, I threw the trash bags down stairs because there where a few bar stools where upstairs. Then i went outside and water all of the plants and made sure there where no golf balls laying around in the golf range. I wanted to practice on my swing again, so when i was done with my checklist. I garbed a couple of golf balls and club, then just started swing.
Journal 8 10/2/2016
When i got the golf course bobby already had my checklist ready for me to do and it was a pretty long list to do. The checklist is basically the same thing i do every time i work at the golf course. first thing i always do is try to do the difficult stuff. the reason why i do that is because i do not like to rush when its time for me to go home. i had to re-range the storage room where we have our cleaning supplies and extra chairs. i had to make sure everyone could walk in there without tripping on anything. also i had to make sure all of the cleaning supplies where in the right spot, so it can be easy to find it. Then fill up the fridge with soda, Gatorade, water, Tea (all flavor), monsters (energy drinks), Alcohol beverage (Bud light and Budweiser). Bobby had to go run home, so he made me in charge until he came back.

A project that bobby had me doing is to clean up the left and right garages. The goal is to make sure everything straighten up. In the right garage there was a lot of golf balls laying around in the floor, so i had to put them all in big basket. After i put all of the golf balls in basket, i had to put them in the ball washer. i had to fix the ball washer because when on the golf balls go stuck between one of the mental piece in the ball washer. As soon i was done with that i swept around to make sure there was no dirt in the garage. then i went to the left side and started to move things around so i could put a couple of golf courts inside the garage.

As soon I finish cleaning up the locker room, I had to start putting up the little flags and some of the steel chairs inside the locker room. The reason why he wants me to put the steel chairs in the locker room is so they do not rust and get ruin.
