This week I began to finally settle in to my roll in the management of tournaments and events the course holds throughout the busy months of summer. My job when the course holds tournaments and outings is to make sure all paper work is completed, golf carts are in line and customers are checked in and are taken care of. This week has really stretched my imagination as far as getting multiple events arranged and take place at the same time in our small facility. On Friday we had a 144 person outing on the golf course that teed off nine o'clock and were scheduled to eat at five o'clock. At five thirty we had a wedding planed in our event tent, so there was no where we could put the golf outting to eat. I called around to different tent rental places and found a company that would allow us to rent tables, chairs, large fans and most importantly a tent big enough for 144 people. My idea was to set the tent up on the range out of the way of the wedding so we could please both of our parties without having the clutter of more than 300 people. This was a great success, I managed to please both of our events and pull them off successfully with out a glitch. The key lesson that I have learned through this week's experience is that you must have an imagination. My supervisors said that they would never had imagined having people eat on the driving range, but it is what needed to be done to pull this off. When your working with limited resources you must use everything that you have at your disposal.As well this, past week I was given a key to the building so I can begin closing the facility down and taking care of the money and deposit for that day. My duties when I close down the building is to count the money, make a deposit slip, and make sure the building is all locked up and the alarm is set. I have not begun to close by myself yet because I still need some guidance, but next week I am suppose to begin closing all by myself.
