2 week (Internship at Country Club Of Saint Albans)

This week was busier! As the Golf pros started to get more comfortable with having me do more extensive jobs, it became busier and more impactful! Here’s what I did Tuesday through Friday. Tuesday was a freezing day, so the weather was not very good. There were only 18 members on the tee sheet to come out and play that day. When only a few members play golf, the staff gets much more done regarding paperwork, clothing, and other merchandise invoices. I helped unbox some shipments that certain club members had ordered. I also helped tidy up the shop by vacuuming- a tremendous cordless vacuum! That day was slow, so I started folding some old towels after lunch. Wednesday, I had a new project. Head golf director Joe, the pro, had me fold five boxes of old towels and put them into boxes with old shipments and reusable containers. I got a lot of towels folded, so much so that everyone was so impressed in the golf shop! The team is so comfortable with me that they call me “Clarke the intern” from The Office, which is pretty funny if you ask me. Anyway, came Thursday; I was not feeling the greatest that day, but I helped with more boxes of towels and cleaning up the back office rooms to see what was messy and needed tidying up. Then, the last day, Friday, Today was probably one of the busiest days of the week. This morning, Golf Pro Adam gave me another big project: sorting through a mess of hangers that sometimes need to be sorted through buy color and not mixed up when doing orders for customers. I started organizing all the hangers by color and essentially by the brand or style of the hanger. Then I sorted those in piles, taking them and putting rubber bands on them to keep them neat. Then, I put the bins in the correct spots. Then I went out in the afternoon with Gold pro-Jim and Jordan and checked on some birdhouses displayed throughout each golf course, Lewis and Clark and Tavern Creek. Some of them had nothing. Some had six to eight eggs; it was cool to hear about the type of bird that lay there. Then I helped with some other little things like checking orders and such. That was my week; I hope you enjoyed it!
