Volunteers - FAQ's

What duties do volunteers have?
Volunteers are assigned to a variety of committees, performing the many tasks required to conduct a Nationwide TOUR event. A description of each committee will be available for your review prior to your selection of committee choices or by visiting the committees (make this a link) tab.

Which days are volunteers needed?
The great majority of volunteer requirements are Wednesday through Sunday of tournament week, but some assistance may be required before and after the tournament. Committee descriptions will include the days each committee operates.

How long can I be expected to work each day? How many days?
Depending on the committee on which you serve, the average workday is 4 to 6 hours long. Some assignments may require longer days, particularly Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Each volunteer is required to work at least three shifts, but most choose to work more.

Is there a cost? What do I wear?
Yes, there is a small volunteer fee that covers the cost of your uniform. The tournament will provide a volunteer package that includes a golf shirt, cap and volunteer badge. Volunteers will provide their own khaki bottoms. Volunteers are required to wear the uniform on the days they are working. The nice thing is that after the 2008 event, we will use the same uniform colors each year – so after the initial investment, you will only have to pay in subsequent years to cover the cost of replacement shirts (if necessary) and a small administrative fee.

When do I get my uniform?
Uniform distribution will take place each evening during the week of July 7th. A schedule will be posted on the website in March. Uniform distribution coincides with committee training classes so that the volunteer can make one trip to OSU and get everything done at one time!

Who benefits from the work I do?
Of course the players and spectators greatly appreciate the efforts of our volunteers - it's no secret that the success of the event depends on our volunteer force. An enhanced experience for players, spectators and sponsors ensures our charitable giving increases. Our community and Nationwide Children’s Hospital are the ultimate beneficiaries of our event and our efforts.

THANK YOU FOR VOLUNTEERING!!
