CEO Intern Cast Diary

After a long, particularly stressful day of work, we did what all CEOs do: enjoy a round of golf at a prestigious country club.

Now, by prestigious country club I mean the aerated corn field across the gravel path from the cabin. Oh by the way, we had an extreme thunder storm rampage through Decatur just a few hours prior to our excursion. You can only imagine the mud.

Young and stupid, Charlie and I hopped in the golf cart with the Cryo treated golf club and a few balls and headed for the first tee box. Standing in deep brown mud, Charlie and I fired our first shots into a distant corn bushel, the first green. Naturally, we chased down each shot in the golf cart until we finally holed out. Warmed up, we headed for the signature hole. Following the muddy slope down to a small pond (really just a huge mud puddle), we parked the cart and teed up. After launching our drives to an imaginary green, we hopped back in the cart. Funny story… Golf carts and mud don’t mix well. Before we knew it, the rear two wheels were completely submerged by the viscous mud. In grizzly effort, Charlie shoved the cart from the rear as I pulsed the gas: one foot sliding in the mud, the other on the pedal. After a seemingly endleess twenty minutes of panting, cursing, and flying mud, the cart emerged victoriously from the black diamond slope.

Returning back to the cabin, we find Gabe stumbling around as usual. Covered in mud, all we do is stare blankly at Gabe.

“Aw, you guys went off-roading without me,” exclaimed Gabe, shoving Charlie out of the passenger seat and signaling for me to go back.

I figured, “Well, I won’t make that mistake again.”

Long story short, Gabe and I, end up in the same ditch with mud up to our knees.

“Charlie, bring the Tahoe,” Gabe whimpered. “We got the cart stuck again.”

In another purely savage (for lack of a better word) attempt, Charlie and Gabe pushed the cart through the mud as I steered into the pitch black night. Within minutes, the cart sprawled up the hill. Like heroes returning from war, Charlie, Gabe and I, returned back to the cabin, and swore never again.

Truly a lesson well learned. I hope…
