Attending the Final Round of PGA Championship - Some Questions

[Smarf]

Please don't be one of the guys that wears his golf shoes to watch the tournament. If you feel you must wear them then go ahead and put a glove in your back pocket. One is about as useful as the other when watching a tournament.

I never understood this attitude. I've been to several Master's practice rounds and even my wife, who doesn't play golf, went out and got a pair of cleats. It's a pain getting up and down some of the hills. A lot of these courses don't have cart paths and not every one on this board is a 16 year old on a high school golf team.

i feel like wearing golf shoes is like being "that guy" that wears the band's t-shirt to a concert ....

Whats the verdict with parking? Is it easier to park and take the busses or pay for parking at the site?

Having gone to the Wednesday and Thursday rounds, I can say that I think the buses are definitely the way to go, although I don't know if that will be the case on Sunday. You probably won't have to wait to get on buses to the course, especially if you go early, but you may be waiting awhile to leave. We waited for a bus for about 15 minutes leaving the course on Thursday, and that was before play was over. With everybody leaving at the same time Sunday, it could be a pretty long wait. Still, I would take the bus, but that's because I'm cheap .

No Cell Phones or Cameras. I went to the US Open at Bethpage this year and brought my Blackberry up to the gate. They check through your belongings and you have to walk through metal detectors. They will make you walk back to your car to return it.
