Standard Bearers:
Volunteers accompany each group of players with a sign to identify golfers and their scores, which are updated after each hole. The standard weighs approximately five pounds.

Junior Standard Bearers are needed for the Pro-Ams only on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday. There is no fee for this committee. Each Junior Standard Bearer will receive a t-shirt, golf cap and name badge good for admission all week. You must be between the ages of 14-16 and be able to carry a five-pound standard for 18 holes.

Manual Leaderboards/Scoring Control:
Leaderboard volunteers receive and post players' scores on the leaderboards at locations around the course on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Each board displays hole-by-hole scores relative to par for the 10 leaders. Scoring Control volunteers, stationed in a trailer, receive the players' scores from Walking Scorers by radio as each hole is completed. They then radio the scores to the leaderboards.
