Week 8- Post 8

The main theme that I see forming through my research is that golf course employees are misunderstood and often unappreciated for their work. Also, I would like to integrate the theme of family to my subculture. Most of the people that I work with I would consider to be like a second family to me. A majority of the older men that work there have known each other for over 20 years, and they’ve told me that they consider one another as family. As of today, I feel like more of an insider as opposed to eight weeks ago. Through my observations I’ve learned things that I didn’t know before. I sort of feel like I’ve been left out of the loop for all these years but now I’m finally getting an insight. I also feel closer to my co-workers in that they now feel comfortable giving me information that they wouldn’t normally give. Overall, this research has brought me closer to my subculture.
