The U.S. Open is a prestigious golf event that draws in thousands of golf enthusiasts and players from around the world. One key component that powers events like the U.S. Open is the army of volunteers who dedicate their time and energy to make the event a success. At this year’s U.S. Open, held at Pinehurst No. 2, 4,000 volunteers have paid a fee to participate in the event, with an additional 2,000 people on the waitlist hoping for a chance to volunteer. This unique aspect of golf, where volunteers pay to work, speaks to the passion and dedication of the golf community.

Volunteers at the U.S. Open receive access to the property for seven days, as well as various perks such as shirts, water bottles, hats, jackets, and commemorative pins. The value of these benefits far exceeds the $225 fee charged by the USGA, making it a worthwhile investment for many golf enthusiasts. The U.S. Open has a strong tradition of volunteer support, with around 70 percent of volunteers coming from North Carolina and neighboring states, demonstrating the community-driven nature of the event.

The volunteers at the U.S. Open, including members of the Pinehurst Country Club, play a crucial role in the success of the championship. Pinehurst, with its rich golf history and enthusiastic community support, has been named an anchor site by the USGA. The volunteer chairman, Larry McWane, emphasizes the importance of community involvement and continuity in volunteer operations, with plans in place for a smooth transition to new leadership for future events.

Many volunteers at the U.S. Open, such as retired Air Force colonel Steve Griswold, bring a wealth of experience and skills to their roles. Former military personnel are well-equipped to handle the logistics and coordination required for a major golf event, contributing to the smooth operation of the championship. Additionally, volunteering allows individuals like Griswold to stay connected to the game of golf and be part of the excitement and spectacle of events like the U.S. Open.

Despite the challenges of managing a large volunteer workforce, such as accommodating the preferences of 4,000 volunteers for specific roles like scoring markers, the volunteer team at the U.S. Open remains dedicated and enthusiastic. The camaraderie and sense of community among volunteers make the experience rewarding and fulfilling, even if it means missing out on watching the golf action firsthand. The volunteers take pride in their role in showcasing Pinehurst and ensuring the success of the event.

As the days leading up to the U.S. Open are filled with preparations and anticipation, volunteers like McWane and Griswold display a sense of calm and readiness for the event. Their experience and professionalism shine through as they navigate the complexities of organizing a major championship. The dedication and passion of volunteers play a crucial role in making the U.S. Open a memorable and successful event, showcasing the best of golf and community spirit. The U.S. Open continues to rely on the support and commitment of volunteers to uphold its legacy as a premier golf championship.
