Walker Cup at NGLA-Who is going??
« on: August 21, 2013, 08:56:22 PM »
Got my ticket in the mail today and am pumped!  Is anyone else going to be there on Friday?  Thinking of going up Thursday night, but need to find a place to crash Thursday and Friday nights.

I am attending. Hope my tickets have safely arrived as I am in the middle of about ten days on the road!

Thinking of going on the Sunday - Will decide based on the weather forecast for the Mon-Thurs after the tournament ends. I have never been to Long Island and if I go my plan would to to play Bethpage and Montauk with some sightseeing as well.

Fall back option is Dublin to finish off the few remaining links courses I haven't played yet in Ireland

His son could have some ND gear on, but more likely MIT.

Looking forward to the Walker Cup, by far the best event in golf, IMO.

Embarrassed to ask: will cell phones be banned just like at the Masters?

There is some spectator information contained here: http://www.2013walkercup.com/spectator-information.php  The basic gist is that you can carry phones, but must keep them on silent and can't use the phone if around players/grandstands.  Cameras are only allowed on Friday, not Sat/Sun.

I hope the TV cameras, which will be hand held cameras only, capture the elevations, contours and architecture at NGLA.

 Will be there Thursday-Monday. My wife Carol will be with me making one of her rare appearances on the road with me.We are looking forward to the trip. Busman's holiday for me.

 Hope to run into my fellow GCA's next week. Safe travels. It appears the weather will cooperate.
