Whose going to the BMW PGA's?

Thanks for all the advice, really looking forward to it, Tiger aside there is pretty much every player that my lad is interested in seeing play (assuming they all make the cut).
 
Went the the Belfry a couple of years ago for the pro-am day started on the 18th and walked the back 9 in reverse then parked up by the 10th green got to see plenty of the players that way!
 
Someone may have mentioned already, but there are a couple of places, 7th tee/11th green, for example, where a couple of holes come close to one another, so if you have been following a group for a few holes, you can watch them tee off on the 7th, then cut across to the 11th green, watch a few groups come through and drive on the long 12th, wait for your earlier group and carry on with them.
 
Regarding the BMW keys to gain access to their hospitality suite. I think that may have changed this year - you have to prove ownership now, so not quite so easy.
 
In previous years, some lovelies stalked the car parks and if you looked like a possible BMW customer, i.e. 2 or 3 year old Audi or Merc, they would give you a complimentary pass to the BMW Lounge.

Or, better watching imo, follow them to the 7th green, watch them tee off 8 (maybe see them hit over the pond), watch others tee off and land on the Par 3 10th then tee off 11, collecting your group when they come around. The 8/10/11 is much better viewing imo - 11 being one of my favourite views and holes - though 7/11 is a good way to skip a few holes ahead.
 
The 9th is a good tee to watch them tee off, it's a bit out the way but it's a straight par 4 with a raised tee box and you can stand straight behind about 10ft from where they tee off. It's good to see the diffrent ball flights players have.

This year they are going to have the flightscope equipment set up on the 1st & 18th tees. I believe there will be a screen you can watch this on near the 1st tee and I am guessing they will show the 18th tee info on the screen by the 18th green.

I might get overlooked with my 15 year old Alfa then.:whistle:
