My family is going to Maui around the time of the tournament, and I will be going to watch some of the days, but I have a few questions for some people who have been to PGA Tour events.

First I have read around this thread that you cannot take cameras onto the grounds, is this true for all PGA Tour events, or just some of them, based on what the course wants?

Second, a friend of mine went to the PGA Championship over the summer, and he said that there was a huge building that sold all kinds of merchandise. Again is this just for some events or are there these places at all PGA Tour events? And also about this, is the merchandise reasonably priced? Or is just about everything fairly expensive? I am asking because I am trying to figure out how much money to save for the tournament.

Thanks for any help, and man I can't wait to go

Here's what I play:

Titleist 907 D2 10.5* UST ProForce V2 76-S | Titleist 906F4 18.5* Aldila VS Proto "By You" 80-S | Titleist 585H 21* Aldila VS Proto "By You" 80-S | Titleist ZB 4-PW TTDG S300 | Bob Vokey Spin Milled Oil Can 54.10 | Bob Vokey Spin Milled Oil Can 60.08 | Scotty Cameron Red X5 33" |

Just about any tournament won't let you bring in a camera. As for merchandise, the pro shop should be open if nothing else is. But I'd be surprised if a tournament like that didn't have something for sale There's no shortage of people around here with Kapalua hats and jackets.

You'll have a blast, well at least I did when I go to the Mercedes Championship. The crowds are much smaller here compared to other events which means you'll get great views of the players from tee to green. When I went I had to check my camera. Yes there is a pretty large tent setup with shirts, hats, etc.

Is Tiger playing the event this year? I know that ole Phil has already stated that he'll start his season at Torrey Pines. Without those two the crowds are always small.

Ok thank you, but since you can't take cameras in, how do people get pictures from the events?

If I remember hearing correctly, the commentators at the Target World Challenge mentioned that Tiger's first tournament would be at Torrey Pines.

I'm not suprised. The season opener will be without its two biggest stars for yet another season, what a shame.

      Minimum Exercise for Strength and Muscle Growth

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Good advice. In general, you want to take whatever weight you are lifting to a couple of reps before failure, for muscle growth. There are other tactics for PT related stuff. I would trust your PT person.  For muscle growth, you can go like 30 reps to failure. It is tougher to gauge. Also, it takes 2x as long to do the same number of working sets per week if you are doing 15 instead. It is way less efficient, but your case is special because of the injury/aggravation to the hip.

      Ever Get Paired up With a Twosome Including a 2 Year Old?

      By WUTiger · Posted

      Several years ago I got paired with a twosome of golfers, one of which had a maybe 5-year-old son with him. The kid had a putter and a 7i with him, and on some holes he would drop a ball near the green, chip on, and putt. If the kid started to get distracted, the dad would ask, "Do you need to rest?" The kid would nod yes, and then take his dad's seat riding in the cart for a couple of holes. It was a slow day, and the kid was polite and friendly. We got through 18 just fine. (If it had been a crowded course day, I'm sure it would have been less pleasant.)

      Minimum Exercise for Strength and Muscle Growth

      By WUTiger · Posted

      Caution for the seniors on weight training: Listen to your body. (I'm 75) I got a recent session with an orthopedist after a training-related injury. I put too much weight on a new resistance machine at the gym and ended up with bursitis in my left hip. Of course, it's the hip I dislocated back in 2023. I have my first physical therapy session tomorrow. I remarked that some days I can do 45 lbs. chest press - two sets - without much effort. But other days it drops down to 30 (😩) with just one set. (Complicating factor: I had digestive problems in this fall and lost about 20 lbs., with slip in muscle tone.) Orthopedist said that I want to feel some resistence, but that I should go with lots of reps with manageable weights rather than trying to set some sort of lift-pound record. I'm sure I'll get some refinements on lifting during tomorrow's PT.
