Fall Study Challenge (tranqilstudy)
I've decided to partake in @tranquilstudy's fall study challenge on top of the 30 Days of Productivity. I've been in a bit of a study slump this semester which has led to a lot of procrastination and anxiety around school, so I'm hoping to find motivation and inspiration over the next month of rigorous studying and group projects I have.
Day 1: A bit about myself
My name is Beth and I'm currently in my last semester at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. My major is a pretty obscure major (only 16 schools have the program in the country) which is PGA Professional Golf Management. As a woman in the golf industry, I've been given some pretty cool opportunities that have allowed me to explore many different career paths in the industry.
Through various internships, where I've lived in Massachusetts, South Dakota, South Carolina, North Carolina, and soon California, I've been able to find my passion and niche in golf. I quickly found that tournament operations and women's golf is my passion - I love being able to promote the game of golf with a focus towards inspiring young girls and women in the game. Being able to experience working in the golf industry has been the best part of my life so far - the people I've met and the work I've done has been incredible.
Over the next month, I have quite a few group projects I'll be working on (hospitality marketing, turf grass management, food & beverage management, and PGA golf management) while also studying for some major PGA tests that I'm required to pass before being able to graduate. I'm super pumped to use this fall challenge and the 30 days productivity challenge to keep myself motivated and be able to truly see my progress over the month.
Today's goal: I started today by having a goal of finishing my golf operations notes, answering my question packets for Golf Operations and Supervising/Delegating, and I'm very happy that I was able to accomplish these while also understanding the content.

Day 5: Do you usually like art for its beauty or its meaning?
I tend to like art for its beauty, but meaning is always cool, too. generally, though, I enjoy viewing pieces that portray people instead of situations or pieces that have a very deep meaning that requires a lot of interpretation. I think that this is more due to my lack of visual art knowledge - I love researching new topics and I believe if I put in time with understand visual arts better then this would change for me.

Day 2: What is something you want to learn more about?
I would love to learn more about European history...which is such a large and long-lasting subject. I've been lucky enough to travel to Europe a few different times and the architecture, cathedrals, and museums have always been intriguing to me. It's crazy to imagine that you can step on the same paths that Caesar did or you step foot into the same cathedrals as kings and queens did hundreds of years ago. I look back on visiting Scotland, England, Italy, and other places and wish I knew more about the history and culture when I visited.

day 8: do you read? if you do, what are some of your favorites?
i don't read a ton these days - work and school tend to make it hard for me to take the time - but when i'm on vacation or on a flight i love to read. i'm a huge fan of crime/law/suspense books. i'm currently in the process of re-reading the entire harry potter series, but i also enjoy reading john grisham and david baldacci books.
today i had to attend a business simulation seminar that's required for my degree. it involved 5 different university programs and i happened to have some friends from south carolina on the call. it was really cool seeing how little changes in an operational budget could impact revenues and consumer activity within the golf business.

30 Days of Productivity
Days 3 and 4:
What is a hobby you want to take up?
I'd love to get back into singing classically again. I used to be very involved in choir (high school, college, and nationally) but have kind of put that passion of mine on the back burner since getting into the golf industry. I've always thought music is a great outlet for emotions and music is just such a fun form of art - nothing compares to singing a very emotional piece with a group of fellow singers and connecting to the same piece in different ways.
Where would you like to be in five years time?
I would love to be working with the United States Golf Association as an operations coordinator for the U.S. Women's Open. If this isn't possible - USGA positions are tough to come by because they keep a pretty small team - I would love being a tournament director either on the PGA Tour or the LPGA Tour.

Day 2: What was the last book you finished?
Back in July while on vacation with my family, I decided to read through as much of the Harry Potter series as I could (for probably the fifth time, lol). I got through the Prisoner of Azkaban, and unfortunately haven't read any books since. I can't wait for winter break where I'll hopefully finish up a few more books in the series while I spend some time relaxing.
Today I'm grateful for my family - it's been a very tough semester for me mentally, so it's been huge to have my family's support the past few weeks. They've reminded me on my accomplishments and future endeavors I'm lucky to have. Additionally, it's my birthday today so I feel very grateful for my friends and family that are helping me celebrate a bit.

Wow...it has been a very long time since I've posted anything on my blog. A little life update - I spent the entire last school year away from classes and working out in my industry. I had an amazing time working at a high-end golf resort and then spending about seven months working in operations for the U.S. Women's Open. i had an absolute blast working, but now it's time to finish up my last semester of college classes.

Day 1: What are you studying in college?
I am in my last semester of college as a PGA Professional Golf Management major at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Golf has always been a passion of mine and I've been lucky enough to work at amazing courses over the past 4 years. Within the golf industry, my passion is to elevate the women's game of golf, whether this was while teaching junior golf, helping run the North & South Women's Amateur, or while working in Championship Operations for the U.S. Women's Open.
