We got there WAY too early. (5:45 for a 6:45 shift). First thing Bob learned was that he'd been moved from the Putting Green. Stood over with Clayton, Jugdesh and Mohammed who were on standby waiting to see how many no shows there were.
Amazed at how many people are skipping out on their duties. Was glad to hear that they were cancelling their badges.
After about 40 minutes, Bob was assigned to between the 18th green and first hole. Nothing went on other than providing directions until there was a lot of running of marshalls. Turns out almost simultaneously a patron had a heart attack by the Putting green and someone fainted in the grandstands.
The rest of the shift was pretty harmless.
Practice rounds are frustrating for fans. The players don't have to go 1 thru 18, nor do they even have to start on #1. Finding your favorite golfer is tough and you definitely can't plan ahead. Its almost all 'follow' your group.
Life is all about "the stories".
This is ours from our RV somewhere in the U.S.
