With excitement mounting at the Quicken Loans National PGA TOUR this week in Prince William County, here at the Robert Trent Jones Golf Club, youâre probably itching to get out there on the course!
Especially with international golfing celebrities, fun giveaways, and beautiful summer weather, itâs time to find a reason to get out of your office and on your way to the tournament.
Weâre here to help, by giving you some ideas on excuses to give your boss while youâre at the Quicken Loans National golf tournament.
âWonât be in today! Iâll be on that refresher âcourseâ you suggested.”
âA little âbirdieâ told me that I have jury duty today.”
âIâm feeling a little âgreenâ and need to see a âPRO.â
âMy âVardon Gripâ returned and I need to see an expert about it. No more keyboard work for a few days.â
âBoss, I need the day off, my old buddies âGilliganâ and âMulliganâ are in town, and I would really like to see the action.
âMy car got into a âGrand Slamâ on the way to work, and I need to see a mechanic.â
âI misplaced my âNiblickâ, and need to find it quickly.â
âMy TV went âlights-outâ and Iâm stuck at home waiting for the cable guy.â
âBoss, my âyipsâ returned and I need to see an expert about it.â
âI made a âbogeyâ on my taxes, and now Iâm being audited by the IRS.â
Some of these excuses may work better than others, but do what you can to slip away from the office and head out to one of the biggest golf tournaments Prince William County has ever seen!

Prince William Times: Licensed wildlife rehabber Olivia LoBalbo canât wait until the wild animals she treats are well enough to scurry off or fly away into the forest on their own. But while theyâre in her care, they can now be safely transported in a fully equipped wildlife rescue van, dubbed âThe PAW Express,â courtesy of the Prince William SPCA.
LoBalbo, 37, is a former veterinarian tech and the founder of AERO, which stands for Animal Education and Rescue Organization.

FXBG Advance: The public was first made aware of the possibility of data centers in Celebrate VA when Mayor Devine added the topic to the July 9, 2024 Council agenda, giving the public no prior notice that the topic was to be discussed. Well before that announcement, council members had toured data centers in February, two at a time, to avoid public notice.
Also, prior to the July 9th meeting the City Manager initiated discussion with a developer to provide land for data centers.
In September the City Council supported the expenditure of $200,000 to study the infrastructure needs to provide power for data centers in Celebrate VA. A cost that should not be the responsibility of the city but by either Dominion Power or the developer. When questioned about this City Manager Tim Baroody confirmed it was not the cityâs responsibility but explained that it was being done at the direction of the City Council.
