Scoring Job Descriptions


Fairway Laser Operator

You will be stationed just inside the ropes near the landing area of the players drive. You will have a moveable tripod with a "trigger type" laser. You will also have a pouch with a battery, data radio and voice radio with headset. You will have a "Palm Pilot" type computer device connected to the data radio and battery. The Palm Pilot will provide you with information to know whose ball you are "shooting" with the laser. You will be measuring every drive. On par 5 holes there will be 2 fairway lasers. There will be an instructional session the weekend prior to the tournament.

Greenside Laser Operator

You will be stationed on a platform (4 to 8 ft high near the green). You will use a "survey grade" laser to take multiple measurements per player on the green. You will have a "Palm Pilot" type computer device to record the ball positions and you will be provided a voice radio. This is the most technologically involved of the two lasers. There will be an instructional session the weekend prior to the tournament.
