April 21, 2015 - USA Golf Tournament

I learned about a new, smaller perk to having a job at South Alabama. Every year, the school puts on a golf tournament to raise money for the Athletic Department. They ask for volunteers to work the event; give them a free shirt and the day off from work to sit around a golf course. Not only do you not have to be at work during the tournament, you are fed and get free drinks (beer!). Throw in the fact that you get to watch rich people play 'mediocre to bad' golf and it's a great work day. I almost forgot to mention the fact that between groups, I was able to pull out my pitching wedge and putter and play a little golf myself. Hopefully I'll be invited to participate annually. If I want to drop $500 some day, I could even play in the thing and be eligible to win some pretty awesome (and expensive) prizes.
