Volunteer Descriptions

 

Player Registration
These volunteers are the initial contact that players have with the Homestead and with the 2025 U.S. Senior Women’s Amateur Championship. To create a positive first impression, volunteers will guide the players through the registration process. This includes verifying their contact information, finalizing attendance for evening events, securing caddies/golf carts, taking official photographs, autographing the official pin flag, distributing player gifts, and other similar responsibilities. 

 

Player Hospitality
Volunteers will greet the players upon initial arrival, take them on a tour of the clubhouse, oversee the players’ locker room amenities, and answer questions. Volunteers will also be stationed around the clubhouse, as well as course transition areas, to ensure all players’ needs are met. 

 

Practice Facility
Volunteers are required to be present at the driving range, practice putting greens, and short game areas to help maintain player flow and supervise these locations. They will be responsible for distributing range balls and overseeing the placement of the “A” frames with player name placards. During any downtime, volunteers are requested to assist with the retrieval and restocking of range balls. The hours of operation for the practice areas at the Homestead, based on available daylight, will be from 6:00 a.m. to approximately 6:00 p.m.

 

Spotters & Course Marshals
Spotters assist in maintaining the pace of play by locating balls that have landed off the fairway. This is particularly important as many players may not be familiar with The Cascades Course and the areas where it may be challenging to find their golf balls. Prior golf experience is not necessarily needed for either of these volunteer roles.

 

Medical
Medical services volunteers are responsible for supporting any medical needs that may arise during the Championship.  At least three medical support personnel must be present onsite whenever players are in attendance. This includes one individual who is a medical doctor, emergency medical technician and/or registered nurse, and at least two individuals who have been certified in the use of AED defibrillators.

 

Walking Scorers
Walking scorers facilitate live scoring for the Championship, ensuring that real-time data is accessible to everyone, both on and off the property. Walking scorers will accompany each group or match. During the round, hole-by-hole scores for all players will be recorded on tablets provided by the USGA.

 

Transportation/Shuttle Drivers (if necessary)
Depending on traffic and parking situation, shuttles may be required to transport players, caddies, and guests from one location to another. We will also require assistance with the staging and movement of golf carts during the busiest days of the Championship.

 

Standard Bearers
Standard bearers will accompany the quarterfinal matches through to the final match, carrying a sign that displays the status of the match.
