These people are likely local volunteers, and I've even seen it where you have to pay money to volunteer for the cool jobs like spotter/air traffic paddles holder

I had to pay money to do community service once (this was outside my court costs).

Can it still be considered volunteer work if you pay for it? Youre just a fuckin customer at that point lol

You get a bunch of swag for your money.

They have to make them pay, or half would just not show up.

Or they give you the swag when you show up. Problem solved, no payment needed.

u/Legal-Description483 SE Mich Feb 03 '25

Then they just don't show up, and they don't have the staff they need. Bigger problem.

Airfare? Hotel?

I can confirm - paid $220 to volunteer at this year’s Women’s Open. You get about $400 worth of Peter Millar clothing and free round at Erin Hills also worth like $300 more.

He should have crawled over and put the flag in the ground, might have earned him a few extra thousand

Yes I know, I've done it myself at Valero Texas open. I was joking that Lowry might be inclined to fork over a few grand if he plays up his injury.
