Spring is in the air, and it’s time to recruit volunteers for the Boys State Golf Tournament coming up on May 24 and 25.  If you can help, please fill out this volunteer form and return it to the North Platte Visitors Bureau.

On May 24 and 25, the best of Nebraska High School Class D boys golfers will converge on North Platte for the championship tournament. The event is expected to draw 95-100 golfers to the Lake Maloney Golf Course. Class D is one of the highest-traveling classes, so we can expect many family, friends and well-wishers to come to North Platte to watch the tournament.

It will take a small army of volunteers to insure that these boys have a wonderful state championship tournament experience. Helping with a state championship tournament is incredibly rewarding. Just by getting to know these incredible young men, volunteers will find that their hope in the leadership of tomorrow is renewed.

One of the largest areas of volunteer needs is for scoring monitors. These monitors will accompany threesomes around the course in a golf cart, personally recording the hole-by-hole strokes of each golfer as well as helping with the speed of play by watching tee shots and looking for lost balls. Scoring monitors do not have to make any rules decisions. At least thirty scoring monitors will be needed throughout the tournament.

Other volunteer needs are Official Score Card and Score Board staff, Spotters and Real Time Scorers (will likely be using iPads). Anyone interested in volunteering should contact the North Platte / Lincoln County Visitors Bureau at 308-532-4729 or [email protected].

Priority is given to volunteers who can work both days of the tournament. Volunteers will receive coffee and rolls in the morning, lunch, and those who did not volunteer at the girls tournament last fall will receive an official NSAA jacket. Deadline to volunteer is May 6.
