It's time to start this

I'm really hoping lefty comes to play. That would be the ultimate full circle redemption story for him with this history on the course and in this tournament in general.

5/28/2014 10:22:45 AM

I'll be there all 4 rounds. Very excited.

5/28/2014 10:24:10 AM

I'm just going Friday this time around. I want to watch the weekend, especially Sunday, on TV so as to not miss a shot from any of the leaders.

I want to buy tickets. Someone shoot me a message or help out!

5/31/2014 2:35:00 AM

Somebody at work offered me tickets for Friday.

Don't watch a lot of golf and never been to a golf tournament before. Should I go? Any tips on if I do? Do I have to wear a visor and polo shirt?

What are the rules I need to pay attention to? Obviously no phones but are there regulations on the chairs you can bring in etc.?

PSA: As tempting as it may be, don't speed much over the 60 speed limit on US 1 once you get into Moore County, same applies for Carthage on 15/501. Both are speed traps normally, and I'm sure will be even more so during the open.

6/9/2014 10:43:13 PM

How cheap are these tickets for this thing? I really want to go see an event sometime...never have.

what can i expect??

6/10/2014 2:28:47 AM

Off to see some of the practice round... going to be a good week

6/10/2014 6:05:26 AM

So who has everybody got?

Jason Day has a real good shot at this course in my opinion. Hits his irons super high, he's a good driver, and he has that major champ experience from contending quite a few times to this point.

I'll be pulling for Phil though. I really want to see him seal the deal on this course.

6/10/2014 6:21:25 AM

went to the practice round yesterday, going back today and tomorrow, its pretty awesome but hot as fuck

I was always pretty indifferent about Jason Day, but he went out of his way to walk through the crowd signing autographs, I really like the guy now

6/10/2014 7:46:22 AM

Going on Friday. It will be my first golf tournament. How easy will it be/Will I be able to sneak in airplane bottles?

6/10/2014 11:33:24 AM

"How easy will it be/Will I be able to sneak in airplane bottles?"

Depends. If you park in either the Red or Blue lots, they'll run you through a metal detector and make you empty every pocket and check every pouch in every bag you're bringing.

If you can get to the course without going through either of those two parking lots, your odds are better.

Went today and just got back. Hot as balls. We ended up sitting in the stands at the 18th tee b/c they are in the shade. Saw most of the morning practice field play through.

6/10/2014 3:24:21 PM

Probably would be good to get an afternoon shower just to knock some of that dust and temperature down tomorrow before it gets started.

6/10/2014 7:58:35 PM

Today will probably be the hottest day of the week, and we should see some showers later this week too.

6/10/2014 9:30:59 PM

I really wanted to go this year, but the combo of Father's Day + my daughter's birthday didn't make for a weekend I could attend. I went on Sunday in 2004 and it was a great experience. I highly recommend it to anyone with even the slightest level of interest in golf, or sports for that matter. It's a rare chance to attend a world class sporting event in our own backyard.

6/10/2014 9:39:13 PM

Went Monday/Tuesday. Got to hang out with Arnold Palmer for an hour. Pretty cool.

6/11/2014 9:45:37 AM

that's a good shot. really cool. how approachable was he?

I had the option to go down for either of the first 3 rounds but my interest just wasn't there this year. Probably more so because of who offered the tickets. Just not the people I wanted to spend an entire day with . Had a blast back in 05 drinking in the VIP tents and even as a teen back in 99.

6/11/2014 10:47:02 AM

Took a break today, was burnt out from being out there in the heat and then playing golf the past couple days.

Sweet pic with Arnie.

GAME DAY

Rickie Fowler dressed like Payne today. That's so awesome.



[Edited on June 12, 2014 at 7:20 AM. Reason : ...]

6/12/2014 6:51:15 AM

I like the idea.

But im not a fan of fowler.


I think Adam Scott or Furyk win it.

6/12/2014 1:14:22 PM

Phil even for first round.

He hit his driver well today. If that continues, look out.

except for his stupid flat brimmed hat.

6/12/2014 4:51:44 PM

It needs to rain down there to calm some of that dust down. Holy shit it was bad walking around today.

6/12/2014 5:04:51 PM

looks like i'll be there Saturday afterall

6/12/2014 7:00:40 PM

After spending Monday through Wednesday out there I really don't think I would wanna be out there much on the weekend. Thursday and Friday would be cool, but it's hard to catch all of the action and scores from the course. Plus its hot as fuck out there

The practice rounds are the way to go IMO. I got to see all the golfers and met a few too

If you go on the weekend I would recommend finding a spot with some shade near a hole and parking it all day as opposed to trying to follow a group around. The very top of the grandstands at 14 is the place to be, its shaded and gets a great view of the tee or green of 12,13,14 & 15.

6/12/2014 7:10:44 PM

omg so much sand/dirt all over my body..had a blast though...what a course.

6/12/2014 8:08:31 PM

they got a nice hard rain shower tonight..interested to see how it plays tomorrow.

6/12/2014 11:59:22 PM

It would have to rain for a few days straight in order to really effect that course. The sand and silt really drain the water quick.

6/13/2014 12:14:22 AM

not really though.

If they have some cloud cover that takes a while to burn off just like yesterday, it basically evens the field since the morning wave yesterday played a much easier course.

I'm headed out about 7:30

aimorris come say hi if you see me

6/13/2014 6:25:17 AM

Mistakes from yesterday:

1.)Didn't apply enough sunscreen.
2.)Went to the trophy club. (40 minute food line)

6/13/2014 7:49:21 AM

There's an awesome area behind 15 with a bunch of concessions and tables in front of big video board. It's in the middle of like 4 holes. Great place to relax if you're back in that part of the course.
