With a new wife and baby on the way this summer, I think spending thousands on a ticket just isn't prudent. If I don't win the lottery in the next ten years, though, I will eventually just shell out the cash for the silly secondary market tickets.

I know the rules for tournament day say no phones. But is that one of those things where if you just keep it off and in your bag or pocket you're good? Or are they searching for and confiscating them at the gate ?

They check at the gate with metal detectors.

After probably close to 15 years of trying I hit the lottery this year and got 4 Wed tickets.

Is it even worth watching the Par 3 contest Wed afternoon?

Part of me wants to just to say I did but also part of me thinks it'd be a great time to walk around the course with less of a crowd.

I'm going on Wed for the first time as well and if I recall they apparently close the course in the afternoon for the par 3 contest. I'm in the same boat, my main objective is being able to walk the course.

I will be there on Wednesday as well. Plan on getting there right when it opens, hit the shop then plant a chair at the par 3 contest, then walk the course and see some practice. Then I'll head back over to the par 3 contest after lunch and plop in the chair.

Thoughts?

Sounds like the perfect plan, I'm planning on doing basically the same thing if they do, in fact, close down the course early.
I'm assuming/hoping the staff is pretty efficient getting everyone through the gates right at opening in the morning.

Any of yall that won this year have tickets in hand yet? Or an email with tracking? Have a friend going on Monday and he's starting to sweat.
