I went to the farmers open. A burger is 13 bucks. A beer is 10. You walk a lot. People love tiger woods. Its not my thing.
After a few hours of listening to assclown weekend golfers telling stories and explaining why the golfer missed the putt i was over it.
There are more 'know it all golfers" than i could handle. Everyone in the 'gallery ' was apparently a pro golfer.
I will stick to causally watching on tv, like the Phoenix open.

Only tournament worth attending is PHX. It’s more of a party then anything. Used to get sponsor and/or greenskeeper passes and never remember the days. Good times.

Working on The Master (press passes for this year) :). That should be a blast after the Final Four in Atlanta

yeah, you need to come to Phx. It’s like nothing you’ve ever seen before. I LOVE golf and basically don’t see any golf when I am there. Just lots of partying and gorgeous woman everywhere.

LOL, can't tell you how many biz events I went and played hack golf at where most of the "big talkers" scored significantly worse than I. Ain't nobody that can bullshit better than the amateur weekend duffer.
:D
I usually gave my Torrey Pines gallery tickets to a few of my worthy customers.

It’s definitely not for everyone. Love the game whether I’m playing or watching. The douche level in the gallery is super high and like most events the food/drink will wipe you out. That being said it’s entertaining to watch pros dismantle courses that joe public plays from much shorter distances with minimal rough.

I was a marshall on the 18th at Pebble Beach for the AT&T for five years. I had my own gallery parties at Sly McFlys on Cannery Row on Saturday night. I got to know a lot of people in the gallery and they referred to the parties as the Marshall Tom parties. They would make sure to get in my area and I would sign autographs. Even got Kevin Costner laid one time while working. It was fun working the crowd but I was over it.

He shoulda done this, he shoulda done that, he shoulda used his 9 iron and of course putted better.

I've gotten invited to a suppliers tent at the Phoenix Open that last 8 yrs or so. Great view of one particular green, open bar, food, etc. Lots of cool people to hang around with, those are a blast. And you see some good golf. I used to play but not into it anymore. I'd never pay to follow the crowds around all day.

I’ve enjoyed every time I’ve been to Riviera to watch them play. It’s been years, but never a bad time. It’s always a battle with the crowd but watching their swings in real-time is pretty amazing.

Tips on watching Tiger at Torrey; Take a flask, stay two holes ahead of his gallery where you can see him blasting up fairways & don't forget to enjoy the ocean views from time to time. It's Torrey Pines brutha.

Went to see Tiger and Rocco Mediate play in the play offs in the US open years ago. Free passes. After a couple holes, realizing there were 25000 + people to see 2 guys play, and hearing exactly what you descibed, we did as Bill Perkins suggested, we walked a couple holes ahead, enjoyed the few, watched them pass, then bailed. When they made the turn, we were in a bar a few miles away, had some beers and lunch, watched it on TV. Best way to watch!

If you want to see grown men run like a little schoolgirl, then follow Tiger's gallery. The dude has some legit undercover security with him. Former Seals/FBI/Etc.

It's fun to watch if you are a true golfer. To see the shots these guys make in person is absolutely amazing.

My daughters dorm room window looked straight down the road leading to the glider port. Amazing views I was truly jealous of.

Haven't played in one in a while, but strip club scrambles are as good as it gets.....Carry a gallon of Crown and it's amazing what you'll get into.:eek::D

The party bus from the club to the course is the best bus ride you'll ever experience.;)

Give the word "score" a whole 'nother meaning.....:cool:

And the creative ways to drink beer off a girl's body is "WOW":p

Last year my wife and I golfed over 100 rounds and really enjoy the game and going to the events. VIP tickets are the best.

Just watched The American Express Tourny from my buddy’s back yard last weekend in La Quinta. Andrew Landry even gave the kids a ball each at the hole.
Then Luke Bryan played in the evening

The Skins Game in its prime was a great spectator tournament. Very limited amount of tickets for a 2 day event at PGA West. We’d select which tee shots, fairway approaches and greens we wanted to see. Casually make our way to them, cocktails in hand, wait a bit and get to see some outstanding golf. In those days including Trevino and Nicklaus. Good times.

Lucky daughter... I lived in Del Mar in early eighties... walked to Blacks Beach under the gliders where all of us UCSDers studied naked. Them were the days... try explaining that to any college kids today, ha.

Oh for sure bro.... I watched Tiger & Phil at Torrey and Phil comes strolling by to the starting tee on Sunday just smiling and waving to the crowd like a normal human.... Tiger follows a few minutes after and he's stern faced, head down and focused with 5 security dudes surrounding him all the way past. And that was just walking inside the ropes from the putting green to first tee prior to starting to play! And he even had all the hookers then!!

I saw Phil at the Phoenix Open. He pushed his drive off the tee close to the edge of the fairway next to the concrete path. We were walking past with about 30 others. He was literally 3 ft from the concrete in a bare area almost behind a tree. His caddy asked if he wanted him to move the crowd back and he said no problem. He hit a money shot and waved to the crowd, super cool guy.

He's perfected being in that position off the Tee..:)
