Anyone ever worked a pro tournament?

Last year I worked as a standard bearer (the dude that follows a group with the sign of the names and scores). I wasn't going to do it this year, but I had the head dude call me yesterday to ask if I'd like to work this year too. So, what they hay, I'm going to do it again. Luckily the uniforms are the same for this year from the last. Last year I paid $80. But they give a nice shirt, hat, and weather proof jacket.

Last year I only worked Thursday morning. I had Stewart Cink, Dean Wilson, and I forget the last dude. It was pretty fun, except that it was cold and sprinkly rainy.

I got inside the ropes at the practice range, got to see all the big dudes up close. Let alone you get to walk right along side the players.

So check out the website of a tournament near you and sign up as a volunteer!

Awesome idea. If you can find a website for a tournament nearby, of course. I live in Erie, PA - that's some of the PA events, the Memorial is close to me, etc... Hmmm.

What's the site for the tournament at which you volunteered? Sounds awesome.

You know what would be nice? A map showing the locations of PGA Tour, Nationwide Tour, and LPGA Tour events. Put them as dots on a map. Do those exist?

Living in L.A. you know it's the Nissan Open. Man, nothing like Riveira C.C. So much history around the tournament. Always draws the top players too.

I just noticed, for people interested, that on pgatour's page for the tournament you are looking at. On the left of the page, there is the "feature" section, the last one, at least on the Nissan Open's page, is volunteer info.

You're the big boss man around this place, get on it!

I signed up to work at the Fedex Kinkos Classic (Champions tour) here in April about a month ago. Looking forward to it but haven't received any word back from them.
