Are Autographs allowed at the 2010 U.S. Open

[cigarsmoke23]

Planning to go to the U.S. Open at Pebble Beach in a couple weeks. Does anyone know how strict they are about autographs? Do they even allow you to bring memorabilia onto the course?

I know for the Pro-Am, they were pretty liberal with the autographs - before and after rounds in the practice areas. With all of the celebs, they even let some autos slip during the round in-between holes. Cameras were only allowed during the practice rounds. They did not allow backpacks at all - anything bigger than a purse or fanny pack they made you check before entering... so that would likely limit what memorabilia you can bring. I would assume that security/restrictions would be equally or more tight then they were in February.

Never been to an open, but it would be interesting to see how much more strict they are vs. the regular-season tourney.

The USGA links are broken, and cannot be repaired, lol

OP, Get whatever autographs you can get without disrupting the player or players, The practice greens and driving range are a great place to eye out who's autograph you want, So get'em when they leave these areas, Also some players will sign autographs after they leave the scoring booth and are headed to the locker room, Be smart and respectful, Don't ask between holes, lol If you want Tigers autograph, Just stand at the left edge of the fairway 10 to 12 yards in the rough about 280 to 290 yards down, Oh and wear a bright lime green shirt, That's worth an autograph on his personal golf glove, It'll help with the swelling
