The following policies were set forth by the Board of Directors of the Florida State Golf Association, and apply to all committee members:

Membership

It is our belief that the best representation of an association is by its members, and therefore the Florida State Golf Association strongly encourages all committee members to become FSGA members.

Apparel and Uniform

The FSGA's volunteers and members are authorized to wear FSGA apparel. It is available for purchase only through the FSGA office.

Uniform Policy for Course Rating and Tournament Committee Members

The purpose of the FSGA uniform is to identify volunteers while they are acting on behalf of the Association.

The standard FSGA uniform includes khaki pants and a white FSGA logo shirt.  Men may wear khaki shorts for course rating, but are required to wear long pants for tournaments.  Women have the option of wearing khaki shorts for tournaments or course rating.  All committee members should wear a nametag.  Hats and caps: White or khaki FSGA logo caps, straw hats or visors may be worn.

New committee members are automatically issued an FSGA logo shirt, white or khaki FSGA logo golf cap or visor, and a nametag.  The office issues these uniform items after the volunteer has been accepted, submits a Committee Member Information form and joins the FSGA as a member.  Individuals with an interest in becoming committee members should contact the FSGA office for information.

Additional uniform shirts and hats may be “earned” through days served in performing course ratings or for each day served as a member of the Tournament Committee.  (A course rating is equal to only one day, even if you elect to perform several hours of advance work prior to the day of the rating.)

To order a uniform item with service credit, print a Volunteer Service Credit Form by clicking the link above. Committee members may purchase uniform items and other FSGA apparel at significantly discounted prices from the office. Please call for more information.

Personal Representation

Service at Non-FSGA Activities: Volunteers should feel free to accept invitations to serve as officials at non-FSGA activities provided they do so as individuals and not as representatives of the FSGA.

Media Representation

FSGA volunteers should not represent themselves as spokespersons for the Florida State Golf Association to any media when making any personal comments or observations which may not represent the policies or positions of the FSGA. Please contact Jim Demick, FSGA Executive Director, if you expect to interact with media representatives for any guidance and information on Association matters. All media announcements regarding the FSGA will be made from the FSGA office.

If you would like to receive information about becoming a FSGA Committee Member, please contact the FSGA Office at (813) 632-3742.
