US Open @ Oakmont

[GoingfortheGreen]

Okay, it's finally done! I am going to the US Open next month. We bought tickets for Saturday's round on ebay, and are debating whether to return home and watch in HD, or watch the final round in person.

Who else is going? Any tips for Oakmont?

I just looked at the Golf Digest article - with all the tree removal, the spectators are at the mercy of the sun.... and Tiger's tee ball

My buddy is working there this year....I did it back at Shinnecock, I volunteered for the week and worked 4 - 4 hour shifts...I was waterboy, I got to deliver water bottles, gatorade and such to the tee boxes and I had under the rope access....It was so sweet. DAvis Love actually asked me for a gatorade. HE said, " Do you mind if I get one of those? " I said sure...no problem.....Then he said " Hi...Davis Love III " I was like..." Yeah....Love your work" Spent most of my off time at the 11th tee and 10th green. That false front and huge valley was awesome....You don;t really here them curse on TV....BUT OH THEY DO... !!! lol

I'm going, AND I have an extra ticket to sell for every day (including practice rounds) except Friday and Sunday. I'm willing to sell them at face value. Anyone want them?
