For Immediate Release Join The Fun And Be A Part Of The 2021 Murphy USA El Dorado Shootout The Murphy USA El Dorado Shootout is looking for event volunteers and host families. EL DORADO, AR, (August 2, 2021) – Female golfers from all over the world will compete on the MysEc Creek Golf Course in El Dorado, Arkansas during the Murphy USA El Dorado Shootout week starEng September 18, with actual tournament play on Sept 24-26. These professional golfers are vying for their chance to win the Murphy USA El Dorado Shootout Etle and working towards earning their LPGA card. The 2021 Murphy USA El Dorado Shootout, presented by PepsiCo, is part of the Symetra Tour, and is the biggest event hosted by MysEc Creek Golf Club. Once again we are asking the community to partner with us in welcoming these athletes to South Arkansas by volunteering for the more than 450 shiTs required during the week-long event. Don’t know the difference between a birdie or an eagle? Not to worry, volunteers do not need to be golfers to support this exciEng experience. Volunteer caddy chats with professional golfer on the way to the next hole. There are many volunteer opportuniEes available including cart driver, caddie, marshal, spo[er, standard-bearer, parking volunteers, main gate volunteers, and many more. Hourly, full and half-day shiTs are available. Sign up to volunteer online at eldoradoshootout.com/volunteer before August 25. Volunteers will receive complimentary meals during their shiTs and a tournament polo thanks to our Volunteer Sponsor, Stern ProperEes. If you would like addiEonal informaEon prior to volunteering, email your quesEons to [email protected]. Another way to help, if you are unable to be on the course in person, is hosEng a player in your home. Host families are especially important as they provide a home-away-from-home experience for the players during their Eme in El Dorado. The cost savings of staying in a home versus a hotel is important for tour athletes, many of whom are just gecng started in their careers. Host families have the unique opportunity to get to know the players on a personal level by sharing their home during the tournament. Time and Eme again, lasEng friendships develop out of being a host family. “Some of my past host families have become my close friends and biggest supporters. I write back and forth with one host mom every week, and she is now as much a part of my journey as my own family,” shared Madeleine Sheils, a Symetra Tour player.
