Volunteer Policies
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
The purpose of the FSGA uniform is to identify volunteers while they are acting on behalf of the Association. Click here to view the Volunteer Uniform Policy and when exceptions are allowed (also see below).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 name tag. White, colored, or khaki FSGA logo caps, straw hats, or visors may be worn.
*Exception: During the months of June through September, all volunteers may wear khaki shorts. However, during the US Open Sectional, the Amateur, the Women's Amateur, the Florida Open, and the Florida Senior Open Championships, all male volunteers must wear khaki pants. Female volunteers may wear khaki pants, shorts, or skorts.
At any time, volunteers who elect to help out prior to actual days of competition may wear shorts.
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.)

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.
