I was able to immerse myself into the golf industry like I could have never imagined. I enjoyed the staff that I worked with and by having a positive and professional work environment I was able to soar. This summer I traveled to 45 different golf courses all over the state! One of my favorite parts was being able to visit that many amazing golf courses and meet all the staff at those courses. I also really enjoyed seeing the junior’s individual player development throughout the season. I could list a million reasons why I loved this internship so much but I have one last significant one. I believe that I had a significant impact as a female in my position and by holding this position I was able to show the junior girl members that you can do anything. As females are facing direct adversity in the golf industry, I was able to show them anything is possible.
Future Dream Job: Working for the AJGA.
