Class D boys’ golfers will compete in North Platte for the state championship title. The event is expected to draw 90-110 golfers to the Lake Maloney Golf Course. Class D has a large following, so we can expect many families, friends, and well-wishers to come to North Platte to watch the tournament. Visit North Platte is seeking volunteers to assist in three areas: scoring monitors, spotters, and alternates.
One of the highly sought-after volunteer duties is for scoring monitors. These monitors will accompany athletes, personally record the hole-by-hole strokes of each golfer and help with the speed of play by watching tee shots and looking for lost balls. Scoring monitors are requested to not make any rulings. At least thirty scoring monitors will be needed throughout the tournament each day.
Another volunteer activity is a spotter. As a spotter, you will be assigned to monitor a designated area of the golf course to help golfers find their balls after they’ve taken their shots. Spotters are allowed to bring lawn chairs for their volunteer shift. Seven to ten spotters will be needed throughout the tournament on each day. You may also sign up to be an alternate for either volunteer position. Anyone interested in volunteering should contact Taylor Salas at the Visit North Platte office: 308-221-6862, [email protected], or visit https://form.jotform.com/193605204701146.
Priority is given to volunteers who can work at the tournament each day. Volunteers will receive complementary lunches, as well as one official NSAA jacket. Deadline to volunteer is May 10th, 2024.
