Summer Tournament Staff MembersIn order to successfully run more than 75 daily events each summer, we need
40-50 tournament staff members to assist with the on-site implementation of
our events. We require that our staff members are high school graduates and
prefer applicants with at least some knowledge of the game of golf. Please
note that all tournament staff members are responsible for their own
transportation to and from events.
Daily activities for tournament staff include: player registration, starting
at the first tee, course marshalling, rules officiating, scoring, course
clean up and overall supervision of the event. Staff members are paid $95

that they will (and will not) be available to work. This aspect of the position should appeal directly to anyone working another summer job or the
golfer attempting to play a competitive summer tournament schedule.
