They say it takes a village to raise a child — and apparently to host a professional golf tournament as well.

Organizers of the Mackenzie Tour-PGA Tour Canada’s Windsor Championship are hoping to enlist the help of between 250 to 300 volunteers for the event being held at Ambassador Golf Club from July 2 to 8.

So far, 125 people have registered to help out and now the push is on to fill out the ranks.

Volunteers fill a myriad of roles during tournament week, from walking scorers and spotters to marshals, security, parking attendants, clubhouse staff and courtesy drivers.

“If someone wants to be outside on their feet we have that,” said Ryan Robillard, head pro at Ambassador. “If they want something stationary, sitting in a chair with an umbrella being a spotter, we have that as well.”

You don’t have to golf to be a volunteer.

“Almost all these positions work for someone with limited golf knowledge,” Robillard said.
