Thank you for your interest in volunteering for the 2008 Frys.com Open.
As you know, the Frys.com Open is entering its second year at Scottsdale's Grayhawk Golf Club. Master's champion Mike Weir captured the 2007 title,
and outlasted highly touted PGA TOUR counterparts like Phil Mickelson, Aaron Baddeley and 2008 U.S. Open runner up Rocco Mediate.
This year's event hopes to be bigger and better, thanks to a great venue, fantastic weather and another stellar field. It should be noted though
that the success of the Frys.com Open is not solely due to the players in the field, but because of the hundreds of volunteers that donate their time
and energy to help put on a successful event. We have several volunteers returning to lend a hand for the 2008 tournament, but we are still looking
for a few more to help fill some vacant spots.
Here are the committees we are currently seeking to fill:
Ticket Sales/ Will Call —
Stationed in ticket trailer selling tickets and distributing tickets left at will call. You will also provide tournament information to the public, and maintain the lost and found area.

work each day, which gives the kids a sense of familiarity. Hours would be 8-5 daily.
