Message: [QUOTE="Huskee11, post: 3992822, member: 7171"] I am volunteering Wednesday (Pro-Am day) through Friday. I do it through First Tee of Connecticut. I have volunteered with them at the Tournament in the past and have done some other volunteer work with First Tee. First Tee is responsible for the Thirteenth Hole, a Par 5 with water on the right and old railroad tracks/woods/out of bounds on the left. It is a birdie hole, reachable in two. In the past I have been positioned near the sand trap on the left where some drives end up. I get an up close look at the pros from there, plus it is in the shade. Spot balls in the rough, rake the bunker, retrieve balls that go OB. Hoping to be stationed there for at least one or two of the three days. The Tournament has flourished in recent years and once again has a strong field despite playing the week after the U. S. Open in California. As a volunteer, I am very impressed with how well it is organized and run. I saw that Chris Daley and Jim Calhoun are playing in the Pro-Am, and a couple of other UConn coaches. No Geno though. Ray Allen has played in the past. I think Dan Orlovsky is playing again this year. Allen and Orlovsky both hit it as far as most of the pros do. [/QUOTE]
