I read the news today oh, boy, and I'm back to work. Sorry I couldn't resist the Beatles reference. I am back to work however and have put two shifts in so far up at the course. I got a couple of interesting stories to tell. My first day back I had the pleasure of working with the Mac, where he informed me about getting my driver fixed by Joe Beatty, but more about that later. Well, first I went into the ball room to clean a whole shit-ton of balls that were just left in there baskets, and as I begin to run the ball washer, wouldn't you know it, the thing is jammed. As I reach into the the disgusting water to feel for the jammed ball to my surprise there is almost 100 balls sitting in the pools of nasty water. I alert the Mac who informs me that we have a new staffer in Silvio "benny" Benasuti. I assume that he created the debacle, but it was quickly fixed so no harm no foul. Next as I take my first Ranger trip of the year I run into none other than the BIG A-B. It was pretty early in the morning so it is hard to say how fast he was going, but thats neither here nor there. I was also enlisted on my first day to go around the whole course and pound all the OB and hazard stakes into the ground if they are loose. Kinger and I both discussed how terrible of a job this sounds on paper but in practice it is actually pretty cool. I got to go out on the course in 70 degree weather and bang stuff with a big hammer. Wait how could that even sound bad on paper I stand corrected, sometimes our job can be pretty sweet. My first day ended with picking the range. I have to say that I was downright giddy over this since we had the new picker and I was getting to experience it for the first time. This was quite a process. I will grow Kinger's analysis of the contraption a bit right now. As a whole the easiest part of picking the range is driving around and getting the balls and it only made that easier, but gather the baskets and driving them over to the conraption then loading them and unloading sucks something awful. I dont look forward to doing that again anytime soon especially since i dropped a basket on my toe which is now bruised and scraped my leg pretty badly. So not a great experience but I did spend my time out on the range texting max and listening to CCR on my Ipod. So that was my monday. Tuesday was much less exciting than my first day but here are some highlights.
1) Scott Mowrey is the man! This was my first time working with him and he is funny as hell and brings some life to the course.
2) Shelly WTF! That is as much as I will say but seriously there should be 1 criteria and 1 only for hiring the girls behind the bar.
3) I got my first call of what I am sure will be many from Straffin bitching about Slow play. He felt that a single playing at 11 a.m. should get to play through six foursomes on the front side. Good logic Straf! plus he didnt clean his cart.
4) Finally, the rumors have been confirmed Randy B does love Enrique. He went through his whole media player with me he is alos a big Creed, Hinder, and Firehouse?? Fan.
Well that was long and exhausting (thats why she said), but thats all for now. until next time HAck away boys.

Sounds about on par (like the work play?) with a typical day at the course. I can't wait until I get to pound stakes this year. My favorite are the OB stakes behind 13 green; this part of the course is hidden. The Big A-B is renting a condo in silverwoods. #42C: "Stop by for a beer on your way home." YA! I have better things to do, and they include posting on this blog. Will Benny Benasutti be offended if we call him Silly short for Silvio? I hope not. Baird's media player! lets get him an iPod like the rest of the world.
ReplyDeleteSo tonight is the big party at Duffer's. I personally am very excited to inspect the new crop of tail that will be serving out beer and free sandwiches. They don't know it yet, but I'm sure we will all make them very uncomfortable.
