Ugh. I never win anything. Someone said on Twitter asking for two tickets has a higher chance of succeeding than asking for four. Anyone know if that's true? I might try that next year. 

I’ve always asked for two. Zero success.

How many tickets are available in the ballot?? I’ve been successful in the first three ballots for  tickets to the Open  but there must be 50 000+ people there on the last day. 
 

we are going to the Scottish Open next year( half the price and half the crowds). We have got tickets which include access to the “stadium “ 6th hole and a dedicated bar with plenty TV’s. I don’t think (hope) it will be quite Scottsdale but I’m interested to see. 
 

I forgot to enter the Masters ballot this year but will definitely try again next year. combined with a weeks golf that would be my perfect holiday.

I entered this for next year as well, hoping for similar luck.

I don't really like how they do it though for The Open where you have to select which days you want tickets for when applying and then either buy all of them or none of them if you get selected. So you cant pick every single day unless you want to commit to buying every single day. The days don't matter to me so I picked 2 practice round days hoping that increases my chances.

I would be surprised if you didn’t get ticket for the practice rounds. I don’t think they were sell outs. The Thu - Sun crowds are massive. 
We went to a practice round and went all over the course, sat in about 10 different grandstands and watched a bit at the range. 
On  the Sunday we were travelling up from distance so didn’t get there till 10.30am. We walked the course from the 1st green out to the 6th. Then sat on the grass behind the 12th  for a couple of hours. After watching  at the 14th green we watched the finale from the beer garden in front of the giant screen. 
it’s a great day out, but you don’t see as much golf as you would wish. We could have sat in any of the back six grandstands at 10am, by 11am they were all full. 

if you do get tickets, I wish you good weather( by which I mean not raining)

Rejected again. I do not think the number of tickets selected makes a difference because there is a guy at work that applies for all tickets just like I do and he has gotten picked multiple times somehow..

    • Wordle 1,726 3/6* 🟦🟧⬛⬛🟦 ⬛🟧🟦⬛🟦 🟧🟧🟧🟧🟧 I was the only person who made par or worse yesterday!
    • Day 105: mirror work today. Focused on not looping my hands at the top of the swing. Straight down. 
    • Still working on the backswing a bit. Hand still gets away from the body, out towards the ball, and at A2 the club wants to roll over and get flat at A3. It's just very difficult to shallow from that position like I want. Which makes my downswing work impossible.  Backswing I have been playing around with the left leg straightening to start the backswing. It's like, a slight shove of the hips right with the left leg. Then just keep the flex in the right knee as I turn into it. I kind of like it. I never had a good swing trigger. It helps keep my left knee extended.  Yea, definitely feeling the hand path is traveling down the feet line, and straight up. A little bit of wrist rotation, and a lot more hinge sooner in the right wrist and elbow. I am trying to get the feeling that the arm hinging up then is the cause for the right shoulder to retract to finish the backswing. Club feels much more vertical at A3. I am trying to have my wrist fully hinged by then.  Feel the club and arms stop at A3.5 (my A4). If my arm collapses late, then I turn into that and I am pretty much screwed. The club and arms kind of have a floaty feeling, where they are just suspended in air for a bit, then drop.  Downswing I have been trying to think of a good visual for this mentally. I like the idea of my hands taking a wide arc to my right pocket, or I am taking the back of the hosel and trying to hit the ground behind my right foot.    Left knee stuff, just sooner. 
    • Day 78 - 2026-03-10 Backswing work at the net with foam balls, a few real ball swings.
    • Day 525 - 2026-03-10 Got some work in before lessons today (was going to play after but it decided to POUR). Then like three minutes in later on.
