Couldn't play here

So I'm actually doing work right now for my internship, but the game is at halftime so I have nothing to tweet about.

Pepsi is all that is keeping me awake right now.

So I started looking at some golf things. Mainly how expensive it is and how I so can't afford to play.

Sterling Farms is probably the closest place to me to play in Stamford. Another one that is really close by is Pound Ridge Country Club in New York. I've heard a few things about this place. Mainly that it is really expensive. I had to check out to see how expensive. How about you can never play a round for less than $105. You also can't use the driving range unless you pay a greens fee. You do get a complimentary water bottle for playing though. What a deal!

Ok so doesn't sound like place I would want to play at. That's WAY too expensive.

Does sound like a place I'd want to work though. If you'd pay $105 or more to play a round of golf you'd also probably pay me $100 for telling you random UConn Women's Soccer stats while playing. Plus if people actually pay that much to play there has to be some revenue being generated. Plus it's not all that far from my house. It would be a PAINLESS commute. A bike-able one. Possibly worth investigating. It would certainly be a temporary, one time thing for next summer though because I have heard that working at a golf course can only teach you so much. From what I heard there is a lot of brainless work at a golf course, like moving carts, signing people in, cleaning things blah, blah and blah. Not exactly resume building for what I want to do. I don't want to tell my next employer that I learned how to change tires on a golf cart in 3 minutes or less. Not sure how that would help me in college athletics. However, it's so different from what I have done that I would learn something from it, but I don't know what exactly it would be. I'd have to see if it was all in all worth it.

But I'd go for something at ESPN over this any day of the week.
