What are the responsibilities and job description for the Special Olympics NC: Golf Pros or Enthusiasts Needed for Golf Tour - Raleigh, NC position at Special Olympics North Carolina?
Volunteer-driven, non-profit organization
,
The Special Olympics North Carolina Golf Tour is a series of competition opportunities that provides Special Olympics athletes and Unified partners with a competition structure that allows them to compete in golf year round while enjoying a variety of the golf courses North Carolina offers.
The Golf Tour is open to athletes of all abilities and experience in the sport of golf. There are no minimum score requirements to participate in Golf Tour competitions for any of the five golf levels. Special Olympics North Carolina encourages local programs to offer these opportunities to athletes looking to get started in golf as a way to gain competition experience.
What You’ll Do
As a Golf Tour Volunteer, you’ll work with a team to assist or run various competitions.
Competition in all levels of golf play (including individual skills) will be offered throughout the tour but may not be available at each tour stop. Depending on the availability of the golf course and the number of interested athletes, some levels of play may not be offered at a particular tour stop.
As SONC continues to emphasize the use of the GHIN Handicap system and athletes’ handicaps, levels 4 and 5 will play according to their handicaps at SONC Golf Tour stops. This means that athletes will be divisioned according to their handicap. The goal of using athletes’ handicaps is to utilize these handicaps to create an even playing field for all athletes regardless of ability level.
SONC Golf Tour competitions will abide by USGA Rules of Golf with modifications set forth in the SOI Golf Rules and SONC Golf Rules Modifications.
When & Where
Be part of something truly life-changing helping hundreds of athletes experience their moment of triumph in front of cheering fans, family, and teammates. Whether you love event planning, logistics, or just want to celebrate amazing athletes, this is your chance to make a real impact.
Join us and help turn dreams into gold!
