The Grunt Dome A Lighthearted Look Inside the John Deere Classic

The John Deere Classic is a well known, world-class PGA Tour golf tournament. Like its sponsor, the John Deere Company, it is widely respected among its peers for its character and integrity, leading the way in innovation. Through the Birdies for Charity program, this event is responsible for raising more than 80 million dollars in charitable giving... right here in the Quad Cities. And within the confines of the TPC at Deere Run is a not-so-well-known place, one that is home to a select group of self-labeled volunteer misfits who call themselves Grunts. They work tirelessly behind the scenes to insure this tournament goes off without a glitch (whatever that is). They can be found hanging out in their little clubhouse (my word), just off the fourth tee in THE GRUNT DOME (their word). While a completely separate band of working wizards, they are part of a larger group of more than 1800 volunteers, all instrumental in the success of this remarkable event. But the Grunt Dome is more than just a place. It embodies a spirit of dedication, support, and a 'can-do' attitude. The work ethic of these Grunts sets the tone for the passion and perseverance that make this tournament the 'little train that could'. Hop aboard my John Deere Gator as we take a peek inside the ropes to see what makes this place and these people so special.
