Ive been to the pro am a few times and while it is very good it is just the same golf I can see any Sunday morning but being played by people off the tele

Might be played to the same rules, but definitely not the same Golf! You suddenly see how different these guys actually are - even if they are only 'playing for fun'!
Like trying to equate Sunday Pub League with Premiership Football!
@Imurg. I was Scorer for that group. Quiros was really quite impressive - though couldn't convert enough to birdies. His tee shot on 15 with JK or Di's particularly - and the equivalent on 12 (5-wood from 245 round the trees to 10 ft!)! I have a cap with that group's autographs if you want?

I think guest100718 is referring to the 'celeb' amateurs who hack it around with the pro's

He must play with a pretty poor bunch then!
Apart from the likes of Henman, Hansen and a couple of others, most are indeed 'hackers'!
Though Jodie Kidd has a great swing (specially off the tee) for a 24-capper!

Shevcenko was pretty decent too, but yes I meant the Celebs are a bunch of hackers in the main.

I've been to the PGA Wentworth for the last 6-7 years and always went on the Saturday. Thoroughly enjoyed it but this year going on the Wednesday Pro-Am. for a change.
Couple of reasons for the change :
As there are more and more people going now it's not so easy to get a good view.
It is more expensive year on year.
Will be good to see the players in a more relaxed atmosphere, and maybe have a bit of banter.
As for not seeing all the field - well, there are only a certain amount of Pro's you can follow in one day anyway.
So, looking forward to something different this year and liking the less expensive bit!
