It's amazing how quickly time passes...more so the older you get. It seems like yesterday I was returning back to work from the Holiday break, yet here I sit less than a month away from our first event. Lately, my time has been filled with tournament favor orders, trying to plan out course rating trips, site visits, and making sure that I am ready for tournament preparation to begin. For those not in and around the tournament admin portion of golf it may come as a shock the amount of prep work that goes into even the easiest of events. I know when I began my internship with the TGA, several years ago, that was the biggest shock to my system. Weeks of preparation can go into an event and even more so for our major championships. Sure, our attention to detail may add a few days of work here or there... but I truly feel that it is because of our discipline to make sure everything is correct that we separate ourselves from other associations.
In a couple of weeks we will be conducting our first event of 2010, a TGA Championship Series event at The Governor's Club in Brentwood, TN. Last year we opened with the same event and the weather was very unkind to us. My fingers are crossed for good weather this year! So tournament preparation continues...in a few short weeks we will find ourselves marking hazards, dotting hole locations, and writing rules sheets all in preparation for a great beginning to the 2010 season.
