[blue3715]

Which hole? why dont you signup?

[plum]

not sure which hole he's on or if he even knows yet. i didnt ask.

my schedule really wont let me plan for something like that. id hate to commit and have to travel for biz that week. i will go one of the days though

The Ryder Cup next year is about 10 minutes from my house...I signed up to be a volunteer for that. Never done it before, what are the chances I get to work a hole and not checking passes off the course?

Would like to volunteer as well since I live in NYC but can't commit to something so far away. Any chance you could get me a discounted ticket though?

WRX, its pretty much straight out from the holland tunnel. not a bad ride at all.

[blue3715]

they should have assigned you a hole, or at least you should have been able to pick your committee.

if you are not a marshal, then volunteer for evacuation (they drive the players off the course in bad weather). If it's a nice day, you are free to roam and watch the golf.

Holes 1,3,6,8,10,11,18 all filled up.

Holes 2 and 16 almost filled up.

Sign up soon if you want to marshal.

[blue3715]

2 and 17 filled up now. That's half the holes gone now (1,2,3,6,9,10,11,17,18).

[blue3715]

Shifts are filling up in record pace!

We've never had so many marshal volunteers by Apr 21st. Of the 1176 total man-shifts on Tues-Wed just 220+ remain, and of the 2352 man-shifts on Thurs thru Sunday only about 180+ remain.

With the average person taking two of their shifts on Thurs-Sun that means only about 100 people are needed to fill up the holes for the last 4 days.

Be sure to sign up sooner than later as this data is already ten days old and since Apr 21st we've closed out 19 available shifts and two holes.

[blue3715]

Tues/Wed shifts now just 177 open spots, Thur-Sun just 84.. and just 6 holes have open spots for the weekend (Sat/Sun).

Sign up now or lose any chance of getting on the marshal squad!

[blue3715]

124 slots on Tues/Wed but just 22 slots on Thurs, 6 for Fri, 0 for Sat, 10 for Sun.

This is your absolute last chance to register if you want to work Thurs-Sun.

In 18 days we went from 85% to 94% full on marshal committees. A new record for sure.

The tourney went pretty well, except for the cut to 3 days on Sat. But it was the right call. Many hole became lakes on Sunday morning!

A 3hr rain delay on (Friday?) had many people leaving, but those who stuck around got a really nice day and maybe 6 hrs of golf (till dark!).

It's a fabulous course and I look forward to it's return there in 2015.

See ya next year at Beth Page black!
