Pebble Beach 2010 - Part 3: Learning the Ropes

Tuesday the 15th of June was my first PM shift; I was hoping to be on the tee box but instead I was sent greenside again.  But given the opportunity to work the gate to #4 I jumped at the chance and spent the rest of the day telling people to please clear the zone between the red lines.  We didn't have the big crowds that'll show up starting Thursday, but it was good work and kept us busy.  Timing is everything.  You've got to be one jump ahead of the players and get that gate opened and the public back behind the ropes before they start towards you.  I thought I did pretty well and it is actually easier during the normal golf days as they don't just delay up on the green, practicing.  When you sink your putt, you're ready to go to the next hole!

Wednesday was my day off, but that doesn't mean not going to the golf course; it means one final day of taking pictures and doing shopping at the merchandise tent.  It was a sunny and bright day; perfect for another round of pictures.  Now I'm ready for four days of the Championship.  I'm not scheduled to work until Saturday, but the plan is to show up in uniform and see if I can be used.  If not, then I'll watch some golf somewhere.
