2023 NCAA Men's Golf Regional Volunteering Opportunities

Sonoma State University is hosting the 2023 NCAA Division II Men's Golf West and South Central Regional this year at Foxtail Golf Club (Rohnert Park) and we are looking for volunteers to assist us in a myriad of different ways.  Play begins on Wednesday, May 10th with a practice round and the days of competition are Thursday, May 11th, Friday, May 12th and Saturday, May 13th.  We need volunteers to do things such as assist with live scoring, drive shuttles, and serve as spotters.  Volunteers will serve from 3 to 6 hours (depending on the role) and we are looking for individuals that can work all days of the competition (again, depending on the role).
