Managing the Course

Friday Alex and I helped Jeff manage the range and the course. We drove around the course in golf carts with individual pickers and any range balls we saw we would pick up. We also learned to drive the picker cart that goes on the range that everybody aims at when they're golfing. It was entertaining attempting to dodge golf balls and pick them up at the same time. That and driving the picker (something I've wanted to do since I knew it existed) was amazing. It's shouldn't be that exciting, but honestly, if you've ever been to a driving range you've wanted to drive the cart that picks up the golf balls. After we picked up a few hundred balls we helped set up the greens which actually takes a lot of work. Helping to rake the sand and clear up everything was time consuming, but Alex and I made it fun. We also got to get in a few good hours of practicing putting and chipping. Later, Alex had to go to his playoff baseball game, but for the last two hours of project I played a round of golf with one of the pros. Now that the course is beginning to dry up a little, we will be able to golf more often.
