BECOME A VOLUNTEER
Volunteers are the backbone of the El Dorado Shootout and are a huge part of the tournaments continued success. Volunteers do not need any golf knowledge or experience to be a part of the event. Our staff will teach you everything you need to know for your specific position. With over 20 different areas to volunteer, you’re certain to find something that fits your interests. Some of the positions include:
- Spotters – bring a chair and take a shady seat along a fairway to help golfers locate their ball in some of the more difficult to see course locations.
- Cart drivers – follow a group of players and help them keep score (just know how many times each person hits the ball).
- Marshal – Help the crowd know when to “simmer down” when players are preparing to take their next shot.
Volunteer opportunities begin on Wednesday, September 20, 2023, to kick off the tournament with our Pro-Am, and run through the end of tournament play on Sunday, September 24, 2023. We have shifts beginning as early as 7:00 a.m. and running through the end of play each day.
With over 400 volunteers participating during the week, you are sure to make new friends! It takes a village (of volunteers) to make this event a success and we cannot do it without you. Volunteers can work one shift on one day or multiple shifts on multiple days so feel free to sign up for as many shifts as you want!
Volunteers will receive a Shootout golf polo*, breakfast or lunch during your assigned shift and will spend time at one of the top-rated golf courses in the nation. Our volunteers continue to come back year-after-year to help support this great event within the El Dorado community.
*Volunteers from previous years who still have their shirt to use will have the option of receiving a gift card instead of a new shirt.
“I will be returning for my sixth year as a volunteer at the El Dorado Shootout for many reasons. Volunteering at this event is a great way to give back to my community, meet new people and spend time at one of the best golf courses I have been to. The icing on the cake is getting to watch great golfers & the tournament staff goes above and beyond to take care of the volunteers.”
