The Day of Pretty Paper and Learning New Things!!

So today was the first of many early morning this summer...in fact, a 7:15 meeting time is going to be amazing in just a few weeks!!

We started off this morning by meeting all of the members of our team (Go TEAM 3!!!) and going over the basic policies and procedures that we will be expected to follow over the next 12 weeks. We followed that up with a quick presentation on some of the most basic rules of golf. While there was a lot of sitting this morning, the operations staff got to spend most of the afternoon outside practicing various tasks that we will be expected to perform at each and every tournament. We put up tents, learned about coolers and sand, how to put up banners/signage, and lots of fun other tasks! When we returned to AJGA Headquarters (HQ), we were able to eat dinner with our mentors and get to know each other a bit better before we headed back to the hotel for the evening. It was a jammed packed first day, filled with lots of fun activities and laughs within our team. And, we got our official name tags this morning...and tomorrow is "AJGA Christmas," as we are getting all of our uniforms, shoes, and other fun stuff!

To explain today's title, let me take you back to the first 15 or so minutes this morning. Granted, it was 7:15 in the morning and we were all a bit tired...but the manual and document that we were asked to sign, they were on fun glossy paper...the "pens just glided right across it"! (if you said this, you know who you are! :P) As for the other half of the title, lets just say that there were a couple of geography lessons within our team today! Who would have known that Kansas was in the middle of the country...or that there is such a thing as "mountain time"...or that there are other parts of the country than California?!?! haha Let's just say that it is a good thing that Team #3 has each other's backs....because this is going to be one heck of an awesomely fun summer!! :)

Oh, and please wish me luck! We are learning how to drive the trailer and pick-up truck all day tomorrow! After almost 12 hours of driving school, I hope that I can drive, back-up and park this trailer like it is nothing!! I am sure there will be some good stories tomorrow...make sure to check back!! Hope you all have a good night! :)
