Dad came to visit. We played mini golf and watched Toy Story 3. I still worked tons. Oh, and he became best friends with Sean on my team and I'm about to be kicked out of the family. Dad asks me how Sean is every time we talk on the phone!
We saw fireworks in South Carolina, just across the river from Augusta, at a private golf course we were invited to by the head pro who wanted us to enjoy our 4th of JU-ly. It was the first time I've seen shapes in a show, other than at Disney. Hearts and planets.
West Lake Country Club is beautiful and well-taken-care-of. And could use some new cart paths... I had to wear what I would wear running. Ladies, I'm sure you know what I mean.
Saw "The National" and couldn't really see much more than this sign and down the trees that line the entrance. Maybe someday I'll be deemed worthy enough to go watch The Masters...
Davis Love III's son won our tournament! And I made so many friends in the players this week. Parents were great, too. I met a man from New Hampshire and was the first to hear when another man's daughter (who was playing) got a full ride to Baylor for golf! I feel like a proud mother.
I learned more about the full-time job here than I have in my whole summer, as an "Operations Assistant". I got to meet with the Superintendent of Golf, discuss how the course is marked and mowed, and determine drop zones and other course markings. And all with my favorite tournament director so far, who was very hard on all of us and never took anything less than great, but that also I had more fun with than anyone.
Augusta was great, but now we are in northern Alabama, in the beautiful city of Huntsville. It really is gorgeous, kind of pretty like New Hampshire... big hills (mountains?) and lakes and the course we are playing is full of money and is very secluded. The edge of the 15th and 16th holes runs right up to cliffs and the cart path on 3 is down the side of a cliff. I'll try to get a picture this week.
