Part 4: Behind the Scenes Preparing for a Tournament
Parts 1, 2 & 3 covered pre-tournament preparations and now it is time to tee it up. First day of the tournament has arrived and we are up before the crack of dawn and out to the course. Once at the course we then start our pre-tournament setup. Open the trailer, setup the laptop for the day, grab our 1st round scorecards, rule sheets, hole location sheets, a fresh box of pencils and we are off to the number one tee about 30 minutes before the first tee time.
Normally we run tee times every 10 minutes and the most important thing a golfer can do to assist a tournament starter is to be early for his appointed tee time. Check in with the starter at least 5 minutes before, get you scorecard and other information, meet your fellow competitor and get ready for the event. Nothing is more frustating for a starter than to have to penalize a player for arriving late to the first tee. So remember be early!!
Now after the last tee time is off and running it is time to prepare for the players to start coming in from finishing their round. It is time to work the scoring area and score board. Important!!! Return your scorecards in immediately after you finish your round. Make the scorecard readable and never leave the scoring area until the scorer has completed checking and varifiying with you that your score is correct. Once you leave the scoring area it's over as far as your score. No changing it now.
Now we have completed the event and declared the winners. It's time to start on the next of the 28 events run by the ASGA!
