EL DORADO, ARK. (Aug. 1, 2022) – The El Dorado Shootout presented by Pepsico is in need of volunteers to help with the tournament that will focus national attention on the Mystic Creek Golf Course, organizers announced on Monday.
Now in its seventh year, the El Dorado Shootout is slated for Sept. 23 -25 at Mystic Creek Golf Course, ranked by Golfweek as the 38th best public access course in the nation, and boasts a total purse of $225,000. It is part of the Epson Tour, the official qualifying tour of the LPGA tour.
“It’s impossible to execute an event of this magnitude without the help of volunteers,” said Tournament Director Courtney Crotty Kelley. “There are many opportunities available including cart driver, caddie, marshal, spotter, standard-bearer, parking attendants, main gate workers and more. And we don’t want folks to be intimidated. You don’t have to be a golfer or even a fan to be part of this important community event. Volunteering is an excellent way to learn more about the sport from an up close and personal vantage point.”
Volunteers are encouraged to come before or stay after their shifts to enjoy the first-class golf that will be on display throughout the weekend. Volunteers will receive complimentary meals during their shifts and a tournament polo thanks to our volunteer sponsors, Stern Properties and Hughes.
For more information, those interested in volunteering may email questions to shootout_volunteers@murphyusa.com. Sign up to volunteer online at eldoradoshootout.com/volunteer before August 25.
