Blog 10: Rainy days on the course


Today at the golf course, Quin and I spent the day working on many different activities. We started the day off by hanging out with the guys in the pro shop in the morning, catching up on last night's sports games. After that, we went out and played nine holes. My friend from home, Jacob, can and played with us, the weather was stormy, but we made the most of the day. After we got off the course and said our goodbyes to Jake, we went back on the course to follow the beverage cart girl around. After that, we went and cleaned carts with Carl. Overall a great day at the golf course.

  Name: Liam Chapman Date: May 16th Monday Time: 1:45 Blog 7: Maintenance & golf Today, on the course, Quin and I worked on many maintenance tasks we received from service and his maintenance crew. We started by washing some carts from the morning rush. After the carts, we replaced divvits on the driving range as the rain made it a good day to fill divots. Then we got into the cart that picked up balls in the driving range and picked up all the balls from the range. Shortly after that, we washed the balls we collected and put them back into the ball machine. After finishing our chores, we got on the course and played the back nine. I was surprised how the weather affected the number of people on the course. Once the rain came, most people left, and a couple of the die-hards were still playing an enjoyable day on the golf course. 5 hours

Reflection 1 - Liam Chapman

  Liam Chapman  Kelly Griffin-Brown Senior Project May 4, 2022 Weakly Reflection Name: Liam Chapman Date: May 16th, 2022 Time: 1:14 Reflection 1: Week 1 Over the last week, I have learned much about golf, the course, and maintenance. In the previous week, I have learned from the best; Derrick has helped us a lot. Also, the maintenance crew has helped us out by teaching us how to do tasks like washing carts, replacing divots, washing balls, and even driving the machine that picks up balls in the driving range. In learning these tasks, I started to appreciate the work put into a golf course. It is a humbling experience because a golf course can look like a grassy field from a distance, But to others, a golf course is a screenshot of the hard work, dedication, and patience it takes to maintain that image. I enjoy the project I'm working on; I've had a lot of fun and learned so much from the guys who work here. Also, it has been an excellent opportunity for me to get out on the co...

After that, we went out to put green and practiced our putts. Shortly after the putting, we went out with the maintenance crew as they were doing bunker maintenance; Derrick had us go with the guys and learn what they do. When we learned about bunker maintenance, it was a lot more work and permission than what meets the eye. Using a specific tool that mows the steep hills of the bunkers, they carved out very smooth lines making the bunker a highlight of the course. Overall it was a fun day at the golf course, and the skills I learned today will stick with me in the future when I apply them.
