Clear Lake Youth Golf Association - Volunteers Checklist Volunteers Checklist Marshal Program Marshals are assigned to patrol the course on junior golf day. One marshal for each nine holes. The marshals are parents who have children in the junior program.
Preferably marshals are somewhat knowledgeable of the game.
In the beginning of the year after the registration period parents will be assigned days on which they are expected to marshal. If they can not be there it is their responsibility to send a substitute or their junior golfer cannot play that day. Marshals are given a list of few basics rules and penalties for their own knowledge to help the juniors if necessary. The responsibilities of the marshals are to keep play moving, to stop any horse play, to make sure juniors are racking traps and replacing divots. The marshals are also out there in case of emergencies such as illness or thunderstorms and they carry first aid items.
