Volunteer Overview

The Nebraska Golf Association (NebGolf) is a membership-based, nonprofit organization that promotes the game of golf. The NebGolf Volunteer Program is designed to assist NebGolf in delivering the highest quality service to our members and member clubs throughout Nebraska. NebGolf volunteers graciously donate their time and experience to the Association for the love of golf. They believe in promoting and preserving the true spirit of the game.

Why Should I Sign Up?

NebGolf administers over 50 days of competition each year. Whether it's the starter on the first tee, the official in the scoring tent or the host at the registration table, every organized championship needs great volunteers. It takes a special individual to continually volunteer their time, knowledge and experience. NebGolf volunteers put in early mornings and long afternoons on and off the golf course fulfilling their duties with accuracy and satisfaction.

VOLUNTEER APPAREL

NebGolf Volunteer Apparel Package (Required)
Tournament volunteers are required to purchase NebGolf's volunteer apparel package. The package consists of a Bobby Jones golf shirt and an Imperial cap, both with the NebGolf logo. It's essential that NebGolf tournament volunteers be identifiable at NebGolf competitions. The volunteer apparel package may be purchased for a one-time deal of $45 by contacting Gary Austin at gary.austin02@gmail.com.

The official uniform for Staff, Rules Officials, Starters and Official Scorers is a white shirt with the NebGolf logo, navy slacks, NebGolf-approved headgear and a NebGolf identification badge. Navy shorts or skirts, in addition to slacks, are approved for female volunteers. This uniformity makes the NebGolf Staff and volunteers more recognizable at events.

Optional Volunteer Apparel
As optional parts of the official NebGolf Staff/Rules Official uniform, several Bobby Jones and Sunice clothing items with the NebGolf logo are available for purchase or by trading volunteer days.

Volunteer Rewards Program
The Rewards Program enables volunteers to build credit towards free items based on the number of full days worked. The NebGolf Volunteer Coordinator maintains a spreadsheet to track the number of days each volunteer works. A volunteer may redeem their accumulated credit when desired to receive any reward items. Credit does not expire so it may be carried over from year-to-year. Volunteers will be provided with a catalog of reward items at select times throughout the year to make purchase or trade in their volunteer days.
