WEATHER & SUSPENSION OF PLAY

Weather is unpredictable; it can move quickly and out of nowhere or it can approach so slowly it seems stagnate. We want everyone attending to be safe.  A meteorologist is on-site at all times monitoring  the weather in the area. Once they inform the PGA of America about dangerous weather in the area, we will have the following signs posted on each video leaderboard:

Once play is suspended, the entire Ryder Cup grounds will need to be cleared, no ifs ands or ‘putts’ about it. As a Volunteer Ambassador, we ask that you please help guide everyone to the nearest exit and then seek shelter yourself.

Players will not be allowed to play or practice on the golf course or at the practice facilities until it is determined by the PGA of America that it is safe to do so.

Once it is determined that the dangerous weather situation is no longer present, the PGA of America will make an announcement regarding if or when play will resume. Be sure to opt in to receive text messages in your Volunteer Portal (link below). The PGA of America and your Committee Chairs will send out text messages regarding resuming play and any further instructions. These messages will also be emailed to you so be sure to check both your text messages and emails during a WEATHER WARNING and PLAY SUSPENDED times.

In the event of dangerous weather and play is suspended, as a Volunteer Ambassador please go to one of the locations below, preferably back to your vehicle:

RECOMMENDED:

• Your Vehicle

• Permanent Building/Structure*

• Volunteer Headquarters*

• Ryder Cup Shops*

*These recommended places are subject to capacity limits

PLEASE BE SURE TO AVOID:

• Metal Fences

• Open Fields

• Golf Carts

• Hill Tops and High Places

• Bodies of Water

• Tall and/or Isolated Trees

If play is canceled for the rest of the day, the gates are closed and everyone (Volunteers, Players, Caddies) will need to leave the Ryder Cup grounds. Please be sure to keep an extra eye on your email and text messages for updates regarding any future changes to your schedule.  All Volunteer golf carts must be parked during suspended play.
