BMW Wentworth Spectator Rules

[sev112]

It goes without saying how impressive the pros are
.

In have always thought the opposite. Being brought up on TV coverage of whoever is leading and putts going in all over the place, at the PGA it is normally the opposite ; shanks, sclaffs tops thins slices duck hooks, and you rarely see a putt drop. That's what happens when 160 or so golfers , mostly shooting over par go round a tough course.

Quite eye opening I think

Cameras ok

Wrong! Cameras must not be used on the course unless you have a media pass.

You can use a camera on the practice range and the practice putting green and nowhere else.

Oops!

Different rules, or at least application, on Pro-am day!

 

[scratch]

An any day pass is exactly that. You can use it ONCE on any one of the 4 competition days. The season ticket is different altogether.

Pretty sure my season ticket from last certainly said 'Any Day' - though maybe it was 'ALL Days'. I have a different style of pass this year.

'Any One Day' must be able to be cancelled/stamped as used.

On Sunday, last group or two gets very congested and it's very difficult to see any golf. Unless you want to be part of 'the occasion' - crowding behind the ropes on the 18th as the last group goes onto the green to putt out - it's likely better to see the final part on one of the big screens. You can see quite a few groups by going from 18 back up the course. There are a couple of interesting groups tomorrow- an all Spanish one included.

Best place, imo, to view passing groups is around 7th green/8th tee as you are also very close to 10th green/11th tee.

Yes correct, the ticket has all 4 days on it and the guys punch a hole in the day it is used :thup:

Correct, Pro-Am days are very relaxed. You can even get inside the ropes in a couple of places without getting yelled at

 

[MegaSteve]

From personal experience and what I've seen over the last couple of days they ought to ban umbrellas in the spectator areas...

 

[Imurg]

Umbrellas at a Pro golf event are simply a liability and downright anti-social.
At the RC in Wales, viewing was impossible.
The crowds were 8-9 deep and if anyone put a brolly up it blocked the view for everyone else, not to mention the rain dripping off it onto fellow spectators...

 

[leonneab]

Off to wentworth tomorrow. Where do you recommend I sit to watch the action?

 

[guest100718]

the 8th and 11th tee are close to each other and you get a good view of the 10th green too.

hi

we went on wednesday to the pro am.. a great day.. the pros had time for the spectators and the celebs posed for photos and signed autoigraphs for the youngsters. even chris evans let a youngster putt out for him on the 16th green. you wont see that anyother day.

and yes the drinks are expensive as well as the food. like a lot of postings.. take your own.
