BMW Wentworth Spectator Rules

[Ohmygoditsme]

Hi, I am new to this forum so please forgive me if I have the wrong place for this post.

I have just managed to get hold of tickets for Sunday for Wentworth.

Would anyone be able to advise me of any rules? I mean camera/s, phones, dress code? Are jeans allowed?

Also, is there anything else you would advise me of?

Sorry for asking these questions, just this is my first golf event I am going too.

Any advice would be grateful, thanks in advance.

D Jeans ok. Dress for comfort and expected weather. Catering is dear so take some sustenance with you. Check website for info re cameras and phones

 

[Ohmygoditsme]

Thank you for the info. I have had a look for info on their website and it really doesn't say a whole lot at all, that's why I am asking here.

Thanks for that though. Really appreciate it.

Any other help... I would be highly greatful.

Hello and welcome.

You can wear pretty much anything you want. There will be people in golf gear, jeans, shorts....allsorts. Just wear whatever is comfortable and appropriate for the weather.You can take phones (ON SILENT!!), not sure about cameras although I've never been bag checked and I've been the last 5 years.

Also, if you drive a BMW or can blag a mate's spare key, take it with you as you get into the BMW hospitality units in the tented village and behind the 14th green. Free tea, coffee and soft drinks.

If you follow the big names it will be busy and you'll struggle to see much. Either find a good spot and watch a few groups go through or follow some of the smaller names.

It's a great day out, enjoy :thup:

When we went a couple of years back on the Sunday, we followed some groups in the morning, stopping now and again to watch some groups come through, then into the village for lunch.
We then managed to get into the Grandstand behind the 18th and stayed put.
You then see most of the names and leaders coming in - I wouldn't have wanted to be out in the crowd for the last 3 holes on the Sunday.....

Thank you very much everyone. I really appreciate all the info given, it's been a massive help.

Many people have been telling me about the food prices are really expensive? What did you do as an alternative?

How expensive are things?

 

[North Mimms]

We went two years ago and found ourselves a nice spot overlooking one of the par 3 greens

How could anyone dictate to you what you can/can't wear when you've paid good money to attend and then walk around in the outdoors all day. Oh, hang on!

Find a good place beside the tee of a par 5 and shout "Get in the hole!" or "Mashed Potato!" after every tee shot so we can listen for you when we are watching it on telly. :thup:

(Only joking, mind.)

I usually eat at Yum Yums stall next to the driving range, in fact we know the girls there quite well after 15 years of visits. Two large sausages in rolls and 2 cans of coke were £12 not cheap but events are never cheap! You can always take food in a rucksack.

Yep food and drink is very expensive! Take your own food

We usually take a small rucksack and stop at a supermarket for sandwiches, fruit and crisps then have a curry on the way home.

Golf and curry.....a proper day out!

Saw a tweet yesterday, £8 for a burger, £7.60 for a hot dog.

I went yesterday (also my 1st time) and I have to say an amazing experience. I walked in not sure what to expect and I was not disappointed.
As mentioned you can wear what ever you like. I would recommend wearing your golf shoes if you don't have a comfortable pair of walking shoes/boots. I done the 1st 18 holes in a normal pair and I started to struggle so went back to the car and put my golf shoes on. Made the world of difference on the second time round. we experienced all seasons yesterday from arctic winds , thunder storms to blazing sun (more rarely) so maybe put some gloves in the bag if your carrying anything such as an umbrella ( also recommended).
Food and drink is fairly expensive with soft drinks around £ 2.50 and beers £ 4.50 a pint. Theres a number of different food vans scattered about but you can grab a burger for around £6 or a breakfast roll from £4.50 upwards.

I worked out we probably walked around 15 miles yesterday so maybe give your legs a good stretch before you start out.

It goes without saying how impressive the pros are.

Looking forward to next year already.

Have a good one.

Sometimes I have eaten the arm of fellow spectators if I was feeling peckish. Or if not I have taken these things in myself called sandwiches. They are great and may catch on one day, thoroughly recommended, 5 stars from me.

 

[Ohmygoditsme]

Thanks very much for all of the info.

I have one of these one day any day passes, does that 100% guarantee you entry? In terms of them allowing numbers into the golf course?

Final question is what time do you recommend getting there?

That's just criminal.

In regards to food, me and my mates went to a local supermarket and bought lots of food to take in with us. Make sure to take a big bottle of water as drinks are around £2 for water and £2.50 for a bottle of coke! Burgers etc are around £4-8 depending on the place.

No restrictions on clothing,

Sustenance expensive - like events elsewhere

Cameras ok - bit flashes while hitting not.

Phones allowed in, but there are well signed phone stations and reminders of 'prohibited area' - and nearest allowed area - on every tee.

Enjoy! Hope the weather is better than the last 2 days. It is forecast to be.

And I believe that pass is actually a Season Ticket. Any Day also means Every Day, Specific Day tickets specify the day.
