Tournament Committee Members help administer over 560 days of competition each year, including 36 state-level championships and over 45 days of USGA qualifying.
Tournament officials are designated, based upon their experience, as General Committee Members, Rules Officials or Tournament Chairmen. At each event, there is a Tournament Chairman who is responsible for the overall administration of the event, including course set-up and coordination of other Committee Members. Rules Officials are experienced in officiating and are highly knowledgeable in the Rules of Golf. General Committee Members assist with starting, scoring, pace-of-play checkpoints, and general roving on the course.
Our Community Service Committee Members remain active in all areas of golf, such as providing guidance to junior and high school golf programs and raising funds for scholarships and turfgrass research.
