Hours Earned: 5.5

Total Hours: 19 


On my fourth day of senior project with Liam, we again found ourselves at the Country Club of New Hampshire in the morning.

We started in the clubhouse talking with Derek and meeting new staff members. As summer begins to pick

up the course gets more and more packed every day so more employees have started working again. Today

Spanky one of the employees there showed us how to run the golfball-picker-upper so we could do it by

ourselves. We used it on the range to collect the balls. I also got to say hi to Jim on the range before

we went back into the clubhouse to talk to Jen. Those were my highlights of the day as riding in the golf

cart isn’t always too comfortable for my knee.

We learned how to and why they wash the batteries of the golf carts.  We also learned how to charge the carts and the types of carts they have at the course. Then Jack Robbie, Meg Patrick, and Nat Daniels came to play a round of 9 with us. We ended the day talking about what we were looking forward to tomorrow and checking in with Rocky at the bar.

Liam’s friend Jacob came to the course today too. We played games on the putting green and it felt good to be able to participate in them. Games like fewest shots to put a certain hole; I also tried to chip but I was unsuccessful in doing so. Us at lunch. The glizzy grubbage.

Reflection

Quinlan Kerr  Senior Project  Kelly Griffen-Brown  11/16/22  Weekly Reflection  In my first week of senior project, I began my “internship” at the Country Club of New Hampshire with Liam Chapman. I learned a bunch of new things and new people. As I continue to get older I begin to realize the advantage of knowing different people and learning through others' experiences. At the course this week I was able to have a ton of fun and learn at the same time.  The first thing I noticed while at the course was not actually related to golf.  At the golf course, we always drive around the course and chat with golfers. As I have done that and just being around the course I have seen the Proctor connection in full effect. So many people I have talked to have some sort of connection to Proctor. Whether they went to Proctor themselves, their child went, or they have a friend/family member who works at Proctor. I learned how impactful the Proctor connection can ...
