Today was my third and final day at Chateau Golf and Country Club. It truly was interesting seeing the golf course from a manager's point of view. I learned many new things about the golf course from shadowing Coach Fernando. I spent most of the day today doing work on the driving range. Pictured above, I am leveling out sand on spots of the grass that have been torn up by countless swings. The sand helps the grass re-grow around 60% faster than without it. Along with sanding parts of the range, I did some jobs that the greeters typically do. Along the right side of the driving range, there are around 250 yards of wooded area. The ball picker cannot get to this area due to the rugged terrain. I walked these 250 yards, hitting every ball I could get to back onto the middle of the range. This was fun because I got to hit a lot of golf balls while helping out at the same time. After hitting the balls back into the range, I then got in the ball picker cart and drove all around the range picking up the balls to be cleaned and put back into buckets for the guests. Driving the cart was fun because all the players on the range tried to hit me. I was a moving target. Overall, I had a fantastic time here. I love golf and I love being outside all the time, even when it is 95 degrees, so everything worked out great!
