1st Week of Internship at Saint Albans Country Club!

My week started off Tuesday through Friday. I helped manage the pro shop by first taking inventory of all the new items that come in every couple of weeks with Curt Goss, the merchandiser of the year. I then helped Golf pro-Adam fold the clothing professionally, adequately mix and match different pieces in their collections, and unload shipments of golf balls. I also did inventory and put them in their correct spots. I got a tour of the offices I hadn’t seen before, even though I am a member, which was pretty neat. This was on Tuesday; on Wednesday, I learned how to edit videos of the golf pros for the Wednesday weekly update for the members with Video Editor Jessica Fox. Then, on Thursday, I got some tape off a wall that hadn’t come off for a while and became an assistant for golf pro Ryan Martin as he taught lessons outside on the golf range. Today, Friday, was the biggest day of the week so far because of the nice warm weather, and about 270 members came to play golf today. I helped with outside management, guiding members to their specific holes in the course and assisting with any needs of the pros and members. I went out on the course with golf pro-Brooks Morris and ensured the members had a good pace of play, which meant making sure they were playing not too fast or too slow to avoid people waiting or finishing too early. I had a great first week!
