I started volunteering with the DP World Tour in 2018 whilst living in Dubai and have had a variety of roles from marshalling to Anti Doping and spotting. I've also been fortunate to have been paid for some of this work with the TV from sound recording, scoring and more recently driving the camera crew around, making sure they get dropped at the action on the course, then getting out the way of all the other cameras and photographers.
There are loads more opportunities for work, however, it is salary only, no travel or accommodation provided (apart from during covid when working in a bubble). It's also Thursday to Sunday and now I'm working in a school I'm not able to either do the whole weekend or I can't get back in time for work on the Monday morning.
I'm on he tour list for Dubai in November, so watch this space. I'd love to go back out for this event.
In the meantime here are the photo's from the Cazoo Classic this weekend in Southport.
Clothing from previous events, plus waterproofs.
Do you see much of the golf? Yes I suppose working gets in the way, but needs must. Sounds like you have got the balance right on getting people to the right place but remaining invisible.
ReplyDeleteI get to see most of the golf, but it's frustrating to keep moving around the course, especially when you keep doing the same tee to green
DeleteIt sounds like a very interesting thing to do, I hope you manage to get back for the Dubai event. #pocolo
ReplyDeleteDubai is looking doubtful
DeleteIt looks like a great thing to be part of and very interesting. What a close up view you have. x
ReplyDeleteIt is very exciting and you have to pay 100% attention to where the ball is being hit
DeleteHmmm... I wonder about how tired you must be at day's end.
ReplyDeleteless tired driving the cart than walking around recording the sound
DeleteSounds a great way to experience top notch tournaments with a totally different perspective to most people #PoCoLo
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic and fun experience, I imagine. I know virtually nothing about golf but my eldest son plays. #pocolo
ReplyDeleteI still know little about golf lol
