Volunteering for a PGA Golf Tournament
Volunteering for a PGA Golf Tournament
At some point in your career, or maybe even every year, a Golf Course Superintendent will give up some vacation time to work for nothing at one of the multi-million dollar events hosted by the PGA Tour. One reason golf courses look so good on TV is because there are 100-plus volunteer turf experts out there making sure of it.
Can you imagine giving up a week of your vacation to get up at 5 am in a strange town and working for 10 hours a day without pay? Well, we had some of our very own ENCTA members volunteer their time to work the Wells Fargo Championship at the Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte, NC, during the week of April 29. These members were: Charlie Boykin, Jeff Gaylor and Brian Watson.
