A Q&A with a beverage cart girl (and her trainee)

____Tell me about this super cart you drive.__It goes really fast. And I drive it fast. I get into trouble with the superintendent. There are a lot of tight corners and steep slopes.

__What's your biggest tip?__I got $100 last year. It was at a police tournament. They were crazy. I made over $500 that day.

__What's the best drink you serve?__Bloody Mary, because we make the mix.

__Do you play golf?__Yes. I'm not good, but I like it.

__What do you like about it?__It's outdoors, and even if you play horribly you can just start drinking.

__How did you learn to play?__My dad taught me. I get better by the end of the summer. I played my first round of the year yesterday, and I got sunburned.

__What did you shoot?__I honestly don't keep score.

__Are you still in school?__I just graduated from CU Boulder. It took me five years, but I got two degrees: psychology and communications.

__What do you want to do now?__I don't know, but I learned a lot. I might want to get into event planning. I work for my mom in real estate. I'm only working here part-time.

__For a good scene and food in the area, where should I go?__You have to try Snake River Saloon in Keystone. It's a true saloon. They serve great steaks. They have live music on weekends. There are a lot of friendly locals and it's a lot of fun.

__Have you ever had any marriage proposals?__Not on the golf course.

__Off the course?__None that went through.

__So you're single?__Yes. And I'm loving it.

The group behind me was getting anxious, but they also understood my interest in the beverage cart girl trainee, Kelsie Beasley, 20, who's from Augusta, Ga.

____How long have you been in Colorado?__I've been here for 3 weeks.

__You came all this way to serve drinks and snacks on this beautiful golf course?__No. I'm here to get away from school and take a vacation.

__Where's school?__Armstrong Atlantic State University in Savannah.

__Are you enjoying Colorado?__Yes, it's gorgeous.

__

__You said you're from Augusta. Can I assume you've been to the Masters?My family and I have gone to a practice round every year for 15 years.

__Do you play golf?__No! I've attempted it a couple times, but I suck. It's better just to ride and watch.

__Are you single?__Yes. I've had boyfriends, but it has never worked out.

__What do you want to be when you grow up?__Nutritionist.

__Have you ever worked as a beverage cart girl prior to Colorado?__Yes. At Jones Creek Golf Club in Augusta.

What's the biggest tip you've received?$150. It was from a group of guys who only drank canned beer.

__Have you ever received any marriage proposals on the course?__No. I've had date proposals, but I've never done it.

__You said your name is Kelsie and your nametag says Sunshine.__I wear it when it's rainy out.
