- Golf is more than just a game. It’s a community, a shared passion, and for many, a way to give back. At the core of our sport are the dedicated volunteers who ensure smooth operations, provide a welcoming atmosphere, and enhance the experience for players of all levels. From starters and play assistants to scorers and tournament officials, volunteers are the unsung heroes who help keep the game thriving.

Across our local golf facilities, volunteers take on essential roles—greeting players, maintaining pace of play, assisting with junior programs, and ensuring tournaments run seamlessly. Their efforts create an environment where the game can be enjoyed to its fullest, fostering sportsmanship, camaraderie, and a love for the sport among all who step onto the course.

Here at Miami Valley Golf, our volunteer base is nothing short of extraordinary. Over 135 dedicated individuals contributed their time last year, collectively giving over 600 days of service to the game. Their work spans everything from course rating and tournament administration to scoring, marshalling, and beyond. Whether they are ensuring fair play, guiding young golfers, or simply providing a friendly face at check-in, their impact is immeasurable.

Beyond their contributions to golf, these volunteers reap personal rewards as well. The benefits of spending time outdoors, engaging with others, and staying active are well-documented. Volunteering in golf is not just about giving time—it’s about enriching one’s own life through shared experiences, friendships, and the joy of supporting something greater than oneself.

If you’ve ever considered volunteering, now is the time! Whether it’s at your local course or through Miami Valley Golf, there are countless opportunities to make a difference.
