Today was the first round of our tournament here in Springfield, Missouri. I was lucky enough to get to start half of the field today and it was a blast getting to know a lot of the juniors and talk about their summer and their plans for the fall. It is crazy to think that I first worked with some of these golfers almost 10 weeks ago at Steelwood! Where has time gone?!
In addition, today we hosted our social activity for the week and played SNAG Golf once again. It is so much fun to see how much the juniors enjoy hitting tennis balls at our staff members in velcro suits! Definitely makes the job worth it! We also played Quick Golf, where the players work in teams of two to play three "short" holes as fast as possible. The catch is that the players must alternate who takes the shot and we were using rubber "golf balls." We had an odd number of juniors show up, so I joined one of the golfers who has been at our tournaments the last 3 weeks. It was a blast to team up with her as we literally ran around the golf course trying to get the ball in the hula hoops as fast as possible! I have been saying that I want to start running and hitting golf balls throughout this week and next week. Who knew that the first time I either ran or hit balls would be at the same time! haha I have never had so much fun sprinting in 100 degree temperatures! Props to the juniors for helping the staff members feel like kids all over again! :)
After we were done for the day, we headed back to the hotel and I was able to shower and get packed up for tomorrow before we even went to dinner. After grabbing a quick dinner, I headed back to the hotel just in time to catch the start of the gymnastics team competition and their awesome routines!!
It was a great to have a night to just hang out and watch some Olympics and chat with friends! Thanks Katie for the phone conversation --- it is great to catch up with everyone and it is making me sooooooooooo excited to head home in just a week or so!! Miss everyone and can't wait to see you all VERY soon!!!! :)
Night all!!!
