Commerce Bank Championship

(May 7, 2007 - Melville, NY) - Join us and be part of a Long Island tradition. The Commerce Bank Championship is now accepting volunteer applications to ensure the tournament's success. Nearly 700 volunteers enroll annually, participating in committees such as transportation, player services, walking scorers and laser operators. The dedication and support of our volunteers over the last 20 years has made the Commerce Bank Championship one of the most prestigious stops on the Champions Tour.

The Commerce Bank Championship will be played June 25-July 1, 2007 at the Red Course at Eisenhower Park, East Meadow, NY.

"Recruiting enthusiastic volunteers to assist with all areas of tournament operations is essential to the success of our event," says Tony Marr, Tournament Manager. "Not only does volunteering provide access to players and the tournament, but it also enables individuals the opportunity to support our charitable beneficiaries. We would also like to thank all the returning volunteers for their efforts in years past and continued support."

Volunteer jobs will be filled on a first come, first-served basis. Some of the positions available include: assisting with player transportation, working with the professionals and amateurs in our Pro-Ams, and on-course operations such as laser operators and standard bearers. Once again volunteers who work a minimum of two shifts will get to play Eisenhower Park's Red Course on us!!  The fee for volunteering is $50.00 and will include a Nike shirt, hat, free passes to the tournament as well as food and beverage vouchers for each day worked.
