Caddies and Player Services: Come prepared with a helpful hand and an eye for detail. Volunteers working in caddie headquarters, prepare and distribute player information packets and assist within the player facilities. Your work will help to ensure that players and their caddies have the information and support they need throughout the week.
Scoring: Scoring volunteers are essential members of the competition team helping to collect scorecards, verify their accuracy, enter them within the official scoring systems and call them in to the rules or broadcast teams.
Most Tournaments have a designated autograph zone. Don’t try to approach players during their round on the course, especially during tournament days, because they’re not likely to sign anything. Some tournaments have added a separate autograph area just for children. Look for these areas behind the 18th hole or near the clubhouse.
At THE PLAYERS, the par 3, 17th hole is the signature hole at TPC Sawgrass. Most events allow you to bring your cell phone, so feel free to snap a selfie or get a fellow fan to take a picture for you at some of these iconic holes.
The upside is that you’re going to get in a lot more steps this way and you’ll get to see more of the course. The downside is that you’re only getting to see a select number of golfers. It all depends on your priority that day.
