Phone in the Ryder Cup

[jhauser77]

If I really need to have my phone because I am expecting an important text. Do you think I can sneak it in on Sunday at Valhalla? I have never been to a Pga event and not sure if they pat you down or have scanners.

Just like a normal round, keep it on vibrate and you should be fine.

Ya, whatever you do, do not let it RING. Also be careful, just having it out will get you booted from the event, doesn't matter if you are 100 yds away at the porta potty's, if a marshall see's you with a phone, you're jacked.
Can't tell you how many peeps I saw at the U.S. Open getting escorted out..."Like, OMG, it's just a txt from my bff Jill"

Sorry, but I think it's incredibly disrespectful to knowingly try to break the rules and "sneak" it in. If the text is that important to you, stay at home and wait for it.

Perhaps karma will take care of you and you'll drop it in a port-a-John or something if you decide to sneak it in.

I have to agree with Erik here. If the message is of such importance to you that you have to be available to respond immediately, then you shouldn't be spending all day at a golf tournament. If it isn't that urgent, just leave the phone at home and get back to whomever is trying to call you in the evening.

They had scanners and I left it in the car anyway. It was important enough to take in but not enough to not go. Luckily, it was taken care of before I walked in the gate.
Thanks PGA police.

You're the one who asked the question and these guys go out of their way to respond, and you mock them?

Thanks PGA police

Hmm...I somehow doubt you'll get very many replies to another post...
