YOU’RE THE BEST BY PAR!

Your heart must be HUGE! To be a volunteer for the Championship, you get to experience first-hand the most beautifully frustrating game ever created.

Volunteers are the spirit of this Championship. From the bottom of our hearts, the PGA of America, Baltusrol Golf Club, and KPMG, would like to thank you for the enthusiasm and energy you are contributing to make this the best Championship yet. We are grateful to have you on this journey with us. The success of this Championship would not be possible without your devotion to excellence.

Unfortunately, you won’t be teeing it up this week with the pros, but we hope this manual will assist you with all things volunteering for the Championship.

CHARTING THE COURSE TOGETHER

Being a volunteer does not simply mean raising your arms to keep the gallery quiet or placing letters and numbers up on a leaderboard. Being a volunteer at the Championship means you’re an AMBASSADOR.

As an ambassador, you represent not only the Championship but the host site, the committee you are a part of, your fellow volunteers and most importantly, yourself. We ask that you approach every situation in a gracious manner allowing everyone to enjoy a positive lasting impression.

Being an ambassador requires that you wear your personalized non-transferable credential and official volunteer headwear at all times.

UN-FORE-GETTABLE EXPERIENCE

We want everyone who attends the Championship to have a tee-rific experience so while being an ambassador, remember the four-letter word “GOLF”. First impressions are lasting impressions, so please help make the Championship a “Hole-In-One” for everyone!

Greet!

Acknowledge and welcome every guest with a smile. Make eye contact and be approachable. Offer a warm and appropriate greeting. Display positive body language.

Offer to Help!

Offer immediate assistance and show that you care. Anticipate the guests needs by offering specific suggestions. Show a “can do” attitude toward any request.

Listen!

Listen to the guests’ concerns.

Try to identify the underlying problem/issue.

Follow Thru!

Try to resolve the issue or find someone who can. Show appreciation by thanking each guest. Offer a closing farewell comment and thank them for attending.

THANK YOU 'FORE' BEING A VOLUNTEER!
