Long Overdue!

Hey Everyone!

So sorry I have been sketchy and haven't posted anything! I have been so incredibly busy there is barely any time to sit down! I am working about 100-115 hours a week and get about 4 hours of sleep a night so it is pretty intense but I am LOVING every minute of it! My team is amazing and we have a really great chemistry working together on and off the golf course so I feel very fortunate for that!

Last week I made the 3,000 mile trek to California in 2.5 days! It was insane! But great memories were made! Last week was our first tournament and it went really well. It was very rewarding to see the Junior Golfers get out there and play and it made me feel like all of our hard work paid off.

As far as my job as a communications intern- things went well for us last week- we got on the local news there and got some good coverage which was exciting. I wrote my first story last week and am publishing my first blog on AJGA's National Headquarters Web site! Super exciting! I will post those links on here when I get them so you can check them out and get a small glimpse of one of the many things that I do in a day. And let me tell you... this job is 24 hours a day, 7 days a week!

My life is not my own for the next month and a half and as challenging as that may sound- it has been such a character developing thing. I already feel me growing so much as a woman, individually and professionally and am continuing to learn what it means to have people skills and patience. Patience is something I have always needed to work on and this has been a great opportunity for me considering I am always in a team environment.

This week I am in Dallas and it is a Preseason event which means it is players that are new to the AJGA. These events are exciting because us interns are the "face" of the AJGA and this is the first time that these Juniors and their parents have an impression of what our organization is all about... and to be able to make that a very positive experience and have such a hands-on impact has already been so rewarding. It is crazy to me to see how much of a role model we are to these kids.

I have so much more to blog about but just do not have the time. I am actually going out for the first time tonight with my team because its two of the guy's birthday so we are going to a nice steak dinner and then to a fun karaokee dive bar that I found. Hopefully its fun so everyone doesn't blame me for the beautiful letdown! haha!

I love you all and want you to know that I miss you! Im sorry in advance for not being able to talk and communicate as much but know I think of you all often.

My best,

K
