Is it worth it to get trophy club passes instead of general admission/grounds passes? Just curious what your experiences may have been.

I had clubhouse passes for the 2006 and 2007 PGA championship. I used them each time for weather conditions. It rained at Medinah in 2006 and I proceeded to get heavily bombed at the bar in the clubhouse. LOL. At Southern Hills it was 100 degrees and I used the clubhouse for a cool off spot.

Clubhouse is always a bonus. Back in 1998 I got clubhouse passes for the Players and got to the TPC really early on Thursday. I went into the restaurant and was sitting around enjoying my screwdriver when this guy wearing a baseball cap started up a conversation with me. We shot the bull for about 30 minutes before I realized who it was. Another gentleman then walked in, tapped him on the shoulder and said "Payne, we should start getting ready." I hardly even recognized him without his trademark hat and knickers. I'll always remember my 30 minutes with Payne Stewart that day at the TPC.

Moral: Get the clubhouse passes, you never know who you'll run in to...

I don't think Trophy Club Passes at the US Open will get you clubhouse access. At Oakmont, the Trophy Club allowed you access to a few different tents where they had food for sale.

One of the best tents was the Amercian Express tent. They had limited food and beverages for free for cardholders. Don't leave home without it!

IMO, Trophy Club was not worth it.

* When I reference "tents", I mean TENTS ! These things are USGA owned and operated climate controlled buildings!

Thats pretty cool man. Payne was a real treat to watch so I can only guess what he must have been like conversationally. I guess I'll just go with the clubhouse pass (I'm assuming its synonymous with 'trophy club').

Not sure why there's an airline commercial in your post, but thanks for the input!

So far, it seems like it is worth it to get something a little more than just general admission.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      Day 8: 12/17/2024 Okay I took my new PPJ swing thought to the range today. I wasn't sure I was quite ready to do so, but I'm glad I did.  When I got it right it was good... really good. When I got it wrong it was a major fail. I hit lots of really ugly ones. But I didn't let that deter me. I stayed committed and focused on the PPJ and I avoided any temptation to go back to what I was doing before just so that I could "look" better at the range. I'm pretty excited about what I saw when I got it right.  I hit the 6 iron mostly (nearly all block work today). I also hit about 6 balls each with the PW, 8I, 5W and Driver. Those had varying degrees of success. I did crack one drive that let me feel and see what the changes will look like once I get fully trained.  Anyway, I'm going to go back to the mirror work for a couple of more days before bringing it back to the range. I do feel like if I can get this right my swing will improve a lot. So I think its worth the effort. I liked the way it looked on GEARs when I get it right, and I like the results I got at the range when I got it right. Now the goal is to work towards getting it right more often.

      Can Somebody Explain to Me Why Lie Angle Balanced Putters Are Important?

      I'm sure you are correct.

      By Ty_Webb ·

      So I think it's that they can't just bend the shaft or hosel to get it to a new lie angle. They adjust that and it changes the weighting, so they have to then adjust all the weights to get it balanced again. I get the impression that it's a bit of an iterative process and they do it all in the US, so they're paying US labor costs to build it and make it work how it's supposed to. Whether you believe in the tech or not, I think that's a true statement.

      Ah, the old EE in the backswing move. Chest going back and staying down doesn't help.

      Extremely outward path with a very closed club face. Maybe unless you have a stupidly weak grip, like right hand way over top, I don't think the grip is necessary highly correlated to this.
