Golf
Approaching the 18th over the lake
Day 4 - Tuesday 15th March
A warm start to the morning allowed us to carry out fairway cutting and other jobs to get the course ready for the day ahead, which was a practice day for the pros before the big event. After the first shift, we had some free time
to go back and catch up on some sleep or head out onto the golf course. I headed out onto the course with Andrew to watch some of the golf and take in the atmosphere. We started back at 2.00pm to cut the
fairways again, but this time in a nine to three direction, cutting across our morning cut, which gave a great finish. We started before the practice round had finished, and were restricted where we could start cutting, but found a route that gave us distance from the golfers, allowing them to finish without us catching them up. That evening, we finished around 7.30pm and went down to the local store and picked
up some food. We returned to Andrew’s apartment, made some appetising filled rolls, which we devoured and saw us through the rest of the evening, ready for the next day.
Day 5 - Wednesday 16th March
Day 5 was the start of the Pro-Am tournament, which featured some celebrities, including retired NFL players. Another early start so we could get ahead and finish before the golf commenced. After a few days of doing the same routine, Kelly and I had got a good system going and we completed the task in plenty of time. Similar to the previous days, once the golf
started we were given some free time to go and watch the golf, which was great for me as it was my first time watching live golf and also my first time for being involved in a tournament week. That afternoon, after the golf had gone past the 15th hole, we were able to start
work again. I was paired with Charlie Jr. and we joined the rest of the guys who were filling fairway divots. We used green sand to fill these so that, not only did they fill the areas, but also made them less prominent. We also collected the loose divots to keep the fairways looking good. We had a later finish that evening, but it
was nice to see the course once the sun was setting - it was breathtaking!
Day 6 - Thursday 17th March (Tournament Round 1)
We followed the same mowing routine that we practised on Tuesday, once in the morning from tee to green and again in the afternoon cutting the nine to three pattern which, once again, gave a tremendous finish.
The course was not only a golf course, but also a haven for all sorts of animals and reptiles and something that I had never experienced before. It was great to see
Once the golf started, we were given some free time to go and watch the golf, which was great for me as it was my first time watching live golf
