“Infuse the club with energy”, Volunteers essential in Galleri Classic debut
It is an understatement to say it takes a village to put on a PGA Tour event. This week at Mission Hills for the inaugural Galleri Classic, volunteers are the heart beat in keeping the tournament in rhythm.
What doesn't @Tarp1969 do?

News Channel Three's photographer Chris Tarpening highlights the men and women volunteering in their Champions Tour debut.
"We couldn’t do it without the volunteers," said Mission Hills starter and players assistant Cherry Sublett. "You see everyone out here with the white shirts on are volunteers. The staff does what they can, but the volunteers takes up all the slack."
"This has really infused the club with energy and we miss the ladies but we sure love the men," said Sublett.
"Well I love golf and I’m retired," said Rodny Lonquist. "I want to give back to whatever I’ve taken out of this great life."
