Today is the first round of the 2007 Four Ball Championship; this will be the longest day for us the staff. We got here at the course at 6:30 this morning. Our first job is to get the First and Tenth tee’s ready for the starters. Make sure that they have the notice to Competitors sheet and the Hole Location sheets along with the Scorecards for each group. As that is being done another part of the staff goes out on the course to check and make sure that hole locations are set in the correct places for the day, while doing this job that person will also set the tee markers for the day. All along the players are showing up for the Championship, asking different questions. It becomes very challenging at times, but we do just fine.
The rest comes after the morning wave is finishing and the afternoon waves are going out. You have to get teams to there starting tee’s and also get the morning scores checked, signed, put in the computer system and posted on the scoreboard. I would say that tonight the last groups will be finishing around 6:30 or so. Once the last group has finished then we have to get ready for the second day by making pairings, getting the scores posted on the web, printing scorecards for the next day, and sending the scores to media outlets. I would say that we will be lucky to leave the course by 8:30 or so. However, that is part of the job and I love it.
Until I see you on the first tee.
