Anyone going to the AT&T National or have been to it before?

I have never been to a golf tournament before but was thinking about getting tickets to this.  Decently priced and the course is only about a half hour from my house.

So has anyone ever been there before? If so how was it?

My dad is a long time member at Aronimink, and I went to the tournament on Wednesday and Thursday of last year.  If you can go on Thursday or Friday it's a better deal: more players to see before the cut is made, and the crowd, while large, won't be as bad as on the weekend.  The course is beautiful and tough, but it's not the best venue for following groups around- not that easy to get real close to the players. But, if you've never been to a pro tournament, it will be a great experience. I'm going again this year- I live in Honolulu, and I'm flying in for the holiday weekend with family.

Cool I think I am going to go.

Think it would be okay if I brought my camera with me (Nikon D40 with a decent size lens) or do they have restrictions on photography?

Edit: Nvm just found the answer to this, no cameras after Wednesday : (

I decided to get tickets, should be pretty fun.  If anyone can find a roster of who is playing can you direct me to it! For some reason I can't find it anywhere (maybe its not up yet?)

I went a couple yrs ago when it was last at Congressional.  I used to live in Center City Philadelphia and know a lot of people are planning on attending this year.  I need to ask them about the course transportation logistics compared to Congressional.

Btw, I do not think you'll be able to get your Nikon in there!

I was going to go...I only live about 45 minutes north of Aronimink. I've never been to a gold tournament before either.

But now that Tiger is not playing, I'm probably not going to go. (I am a huge Tiger fan and that's why I was going). My uncle lives right near Aronimink Golf Club and he said it looks like a really nice course, and from what I've seen on television, I agree. It could become a major championship location sometime in the future.

I figured Tiger was not going to play when I got tickets but there still should be some big names there.  Would have been awesome if Tiger was there though.

Here is an early list I found, seems pretty good.

Anyone else going to be there tomorrow? Trying to decide what time to get there.  Most of the better players tee off around 12-1 so I was thinking about getting there around 11.
