Get Ready for the Myrtle Beach Classic Golf Tournament!
Golf enthusiasts, mark your calendars! The second annual Myrtle Beach Classic is set to swing back into action from May 8-11, 2025, at the stunning Dunes Golf & Beach Club. Following a fantastic inaugural year that drew approximately 40,000 spectators, organizers are aiming for a thrilling turnout of 50,000 spectators this time around. This ambitious target signifies the event’s growth and popularity among both casual fans and avid golfers alike.
A Grown-Up Playground for Golf Lovers
Community support is crucial for making this tournament a hit, and it all starts with volunteers. With an anticipated crowd surge, more hands will definitely be needed on deck. The tournament director has emphasized that achieving the target of 50,000 spectators will be considered a major success. So, whether you’re a golf pro or just enjoy the atmosphere, this is your chance to get involved!
Volunteers Make the Magic Happen
Joan O’Donnell, the dedicated Volunteer Experience Coordinator, has laid out the groundwork for this thrilling event. The tournament’s success relies heavily on the contributions from enthusiastic volunteers who can assist with various tasks while following the essential golf rules and etiquette. With all the insights gained from the previous year, organizers are working hard to ensure this year’s tournament is even better.
Excitingly, over 700 previous volunteers have already jumped at the chance to return for the 2025 tournament, but the total aim is to gather around 1,500 volunteers. These volunteers will be organized into 34 committees, each playing a key role. If you want to be part of the action, there’s no time to waste!
Become a Part of the Team
Volunteering at the Myrtle Beach Classic is like getting a front-row seat to the world of golf! Available positions include gallery managers, walking scorers, standard bearers, and shot locators—roles that keep the tournament running smoothly while putting you right at the heart of the excitement.
What’s more, even the younger crowd can join in! Youth volunteers aged between 13 and 18 are welcome, though some positions will have specific age requirements. It’s a fantastic way for them to learn more about the game and witness top-level golf firsthand.
Gear Up for the Experience
Now, every great opportunity comes with a little commitment. Volunteers will need to pay a small fee for their tournament attire, which includes a classic polo shirt and a stylish hat. And while they embrace their roles, volunteers are required to work a minimum of 18 hours during the tournament to help ensure everything runs like a well-oiled machine.
Additionally, while on the job, volunteers must sport grey pants or shorts, sticking to the golf club’s preference and maintaining a professional look throughout the event. It’s all about creating that perfect impression for the spectators and players!
Two Important Dates to Keep in Mind
If you’re a returning volunteer, be sure to mark your calendar for January 15, 2025, when registration opens for you. For those new to the volunteering scene, you can sign up starting on February 5, 2025. With so many people eager to chip in, spots are likely to fill quickly, so don’t delay!
Join Us for a Memorable Experience
The Myrtle Beach Classic isn’t just about the swings and putts; it’s a community celebration filled with excitement, camaraderie, and unforgettable experiences. So, whether you’re an avid golfer or a casual spectator, join the volunteer team and be a part of something truly special as we gear up for an even better tournament in 2025!
