This is a relaxing way to see the Open. My one recotnniendatn here is to choose a par 3. ,see some super golf and possible the illusive hole in one.

This way you see more of the course, but you can put on many miles, and have to fight the crowds to boot. If you are following a certain group you're wise to forget about the tee shots. There is such a mad rush from the green to the next tee, that by time . yOu ve tockied for a position the pros have hit and are Off down the fairway. You're best bet is to 'go to the approximiate landing area of the tee shot and wait for the pros to whlk up and Prepare for their second shot. You will get a much better look in this way. Then follow up to the green to watch them putt out. Staying one step ahead of the crowd is the key to seeing everything. A great place to see the pros at close range is the practice area. Whether they are putting or hitting off the range, (he pros are great to watch when they are trying some interesting shots. Sometimes you even get them taking time out to explain shots and talk to the crowd. After following a few groups, observing the prac- tice arca and checking out the course, it's nice to plunk down behind 18 green ane watch them all come in. There are marshalls and miles and miles of rope to keep spectators in the right places. You can walk right along side the fairways and can get very close to the greens and tees. Remember to cross at cross ways and then only with the marshall's permission. Don't run. and remain quiet and still while players are making their shots, Cameras are only al- lowed during the practice round, and radios, picnic baskets and lawn chairs are also prohibited. For golf lovers there is no thrill like attending a P.GA. event. For anyone it's a great experience. You'll end up exhausted. dust covered and feeling just plain great.
