I participated in the twilight league a few times as well as the pro-stag event

I enjoyed being able to interact with the members

I disliked all of the down time there could be at times

Internship Description

DCC is 5 minutes from my house so its was very convenient location

The rate of pay was on the low side at $7.50 and hour but if I did work overtime that was paid

Malls, Movie theatre, Minor League Baseball, restaurants, and bars

Fantastic location

Conclusion

Definitely 10 out of 10 I would definitely repeat Fantastic learning experience

especially for you first internship because you grasp such a wide scope of all things that go on at the course and not just one specific avenue

Highly recommended to all PGM students

Conclusion

I learned how to be more of a patient person especially when working with the members

My expectations going into this internship were well met

I will not be returning because I will be living in Columbus this summer

I would tell Keith to delegate more tasks because there could be a lot of down time

Yes, I want to continue on this career path
