Volunteers:
We would like to thank each of you in advance for your commitment to volunteering for the 8th
Annual American Heroes Golf Classic. Thank you for your time and flexibility, we look forward to another GREAT event with each of your help!
Below is a description of each Volunteer Assignment.
Volunteer shifts have been split up into 3 shifts.
Shift A: begins at 6AM. The ending time depends on what area you work. Some volunteers work until the end of the morning golf round (noon-ish)
Shift B: begins at 11:00AM. The ending time depends on what area you work. Some volunteers work until the end of the afternoon golf round (6-ish)
Shift C: begins at 4PM. Ends when the silent auction is complete (8:30?)
There are volunteers that have been assigned to split duties in order to bridge the gap in between downtimes and ensure appropriate coverage. Please let us know if you are assigned to double duty and are unable to work the full shift.
Notes:
1. Please check in 10-15 minutes prior to the start of your shift.
2. Volunteer check in is in the lower level of the clubhouse (faces parking lot)
3. Watch the weather and dress appropriately!
Please wear your RED American Heroes Tee Shirt . If you don't have one from previous years, we will provide the volunteer t-shirt for you at the Volunteer check-in table. Comfortable shoes are highly encouraged as there will be a lot of running around.
4. A bag lunch will be provided, but feel free to bring water and other snacks for the day. You are welcome to purchase a volunteer dinner ticket for $10.
5. Bring sunscreen!
Typically, there is a rush at the beginning of each shift, with a fair amount of down time to follow. The length of time necessary for each volunteer may vary depending on the amount of work available. It may be necessary to make changes to assignments the day of the event.
For most of the assignments, we have designated one person as the Team Lead for each shift. This person will be responsible for delegating duties to the volunteers for that particular assignment and being the general “go to” person. Most times the Team Lead has participated in the past at that particular job so is more "seasoned".
*Please note that you have been assigned an additional duty following the morning/afternoon golf send off if there is an asterisk next to your name, please review carefully to determine where you will be stationed*

Responsible for bringing golfer’s bags from drop off area (lower level of the clubhouse) to the assigned golf carts (upper level of the clubhouse outside) after Bag Tags have been assigned to the golfers bag.
Each golf cart will have 2 players names assigned to it and bag tags must be matched with the appropriate player's cart. This team will place the bag tags names of players on their golf bags and ensure the correct bags are placed on the proper cart.
Bag Drop has worked best in previous years if half of the volunteers bring the bags from the drop off area outside registration up to the carts and the other half match the bag tag with the assigned golf cart.
Golf Cart Roundup crew will work closely with bag drop team. After morning golfers complete their round, the roundup crew will assist the course staff in cleaning out golf carts and preparing them for the second round of golfers. Roundup crew will be responsible for ensuring that morning golfers return their carts promptly after completing their round. This team will also be placing golf clubs for afternoon golfers on assigned carts. After golfers receive bag tags from registration, they will leave golf clubs in the assigned area to be placed on carts.

Bag Tag and Greeting has been combined for the sake of location. Volunteers are responsible for ensuring that each golfer receives their corresponding bag tag AFTER going through registration inside. A table is set up outside of club house and volunteers should direct all golfers into the Club House (lower level) for player check-in. After the bag tags are given to golfers, they will attach them to their golf bags and move to the bag drop area, golfers should then be directed to find their assigned golf cart prior to shotgun start.
Volunteers will greet each golfer as they arrive and direct them to appropriate area.
Golfer Registration/Check-in:
Morning: Sharon Timmons and Erin Tubbesing*
Afternoon: Erin Tubbesing and Kristen Ringler

Registration begins at 6:15am, though some players may begin arriving before then. Volunteers assisting with registration will work closely with Pam Jessup/Kevin

Goodie Bag Table:
Morning Round: Carolee Humes
Afternoon Round: Barbara Leatherman
Responsible for handing out 1 goodie bag for each golfer. Located inside the clubhouse (lower level), after the golfer checks in with the registration table, they make their way down the line of tables (picking up their score cards, raffle tees, mulligans/super-tickets, and then the goodie-bag table) before they exit the clubhouse to go to the bag-drop area. Goodie bags will already be stuffed, we just need the volunteer to hand out the bags as the golfers file on by. Once the golfers have started their round, this person is free to go to their next assignment.
